I suspect that quantum systems continuously interact with the rest of the universe and are fully connected to the universe we live in.Fra said:I apologize for entering the thread so late, I don't mean to comment on the previous discussions, just comment this line...
What would you say is the difference between a measurement process and interaction process in general? Aren't measurements effectively an interaction where the outcome yields new information? Human measurements are specially designed and controlled interactions. But hardly of any other principal "nature" than say two particles interacting? Or, what would the pricipal difference be?
Assuming the idea of symmetry between observation and interaction, the idea of reality beeing independent from measurements seems to suggest that this reality would be in a different universe, since it is also independent of interactions? Which would suggest that this type of reality have no connection to the universe we live in?
IMO, something that lives it's own life, independent of interactions with me(x) lacks justification for me(x). My personal thinking is that the qualifying justifications is the interactions, because what else is there? This is still a little fuzzy, but I'm not sure how much clearer it'll get.

In order for an observation to be made the effect of an interaction must be amplified into a detectable event. Then there must be somebody there to observer the event.
For a “particle” to have physical reality it must have a universe to interact with and be able to reference the magnitude of its physical states.
