Why can't there be a Universal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics? If you unite Copenhagen and Many Worlds than all other interpretations will fall under the umbrella of a Universal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
The main problem with interpretations seems to be the role of the observer and consciousness. On one side, you have many worlds proponents who want to reduce the role of the observer. On the Copenhagen, QBism side, the observer is very important.
If both sides give a little, then you can have a Universal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. How would it look?
You would have Quantum Field Theory(QFT) that describes objective reality and an underlying field of probability densities. You would have QM that describes the observers local experience. This would be wave function collapse which means a local observer can just observer one probable state at a time of the underlying quantum field of probability densities.
Wouldn't this satisfy all interpretations of Quantum Mechanics? In this case the wave function would act as a mediator between the underlying objective Quantum Field and the local observers experience.
Can this be put into mathematical form? Maybe someone with more mathematical knowledge could say if a Universal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is plausible.
