Good luck. I don't think that you can ever achieve this for any physical theory which describes nature. It's simply to complicated.
I never understood what Bohr precisely wanted to say, because of his too philosophical enigmatic writing style, but where for sure he is right with is that QT as a description of what's observed in nature is about the observations done finally with macroscopic measurement devices and that their workings are well-enough understood within classical physics. The validity of classical physics for macroscopic systems, as well as quantum theory (in fact any physical theory) is seen from comparison to experiment and observation. I think the paper by Englert is brilliant, cleaning up all the superfluous philosophical balast of "solving" some philosophical pseudo problems that don't have anything to do with physics nor will most probably have any merit in leading to new better theories.
