Taking Heisenberg's potentia seriously

RE Kastner, S Kauffman, M Epperson - arxiv preprint arxiv:1709.03595, 2017 - arxiv.org
It is argued that quantum theory is best understood as requiring an ontological duality of res
extensa and res potentia, where the latter is understood per Heisenberg's original proposal …

Quantum superpositions and the representation of physical reality beyond measurement outcomes and mathematical structures

C De Ronde - Foundations of Science, 2018 - Springer
In this paper we intend to discuss the importance of providing a physical representation of
quantum superpositions which goes beyond the mere reference to mathematical structures …

Probabilistic knowledge as objective knowledge in quantum mechanics: Potential immanent powers instead of actual properties

C de Ronde - Probing the meaning of quantum mechanics …, 2016 - books.google.com
In classical physics, probabilistic or statistical knowledge has been always related to
ignorance or inaccurate subjective knowledge about an actual state of affairs. This idea has …

The logos categorical approach to quantum mechanics: II. Quantum superpositions and intensive values

C De Ronde, C Massri - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2019 - Springer
In this paper we attempt to consider quantum superpositions from the perspective of the
logos categorical approach presented in de Ronde and Massri (30). We will argue that our …

Immanent powers versus causal powers (propensities, latencies and dispositions) in quantum mechanics

C De Ronde - Probing the Meaning of Quantum Mechanics …, 2019 - World Scientific
In this paper we compare two different notions of 'power', both of which attempt to provide a
realist understanding of quantum mechanics grounded on the potential mode of existence …

[BOOK][B] Untying the Gordian knot: Process, reality, and context

TE Eastman - 2020 - books.google.com
In Untying the Gordian Knot: Process, Reality, and Context, Timothy E. Eastman proposes a
new creative synthesis, the Logoi framework—which is radically inclusive and incorporates …

The price of true contradictions about the world

JRB Arenhart - Contradictions, from consistency to inconsistency, 2018 - Springer
We examine an argument advanced by Newton CA da Costa according to which there may
be true contradictions about the concrete world. This is perhaps one of the few arguments …

The paraconsistent approach to quantum superpositions reloaded: formalizing contradictory powers in the potential realm

N da Costa, C de Ronde - arxiv preprint arxiv:1507.02706, 2015 - arxiv.org
In [7] the authors of this paper argued in favor of the possibility to consider a Paraconsistent
Approach to Quantum Superpositions (PAQS). We claimed that, even though most …

Hilbert Space Quantum Mechanics is Contextual (Reply to RB Griffiths)

C de Ronde - arxiv preprint arxiv:1502.05396, 2015 - arxiv.org
In a recent paper Griffiths [38] has argued, based on the consistent histories interpretation,
that Hilbert space quantum mechanics (QM) is noncontextual. According to Griffiths the …

Epistemological and Ontological Paraconsistency in Quantum Mechanics: For and Against Bohrian Philosophy

C De Ronde - The Road to Universal Logic: Festschrift for the 50th …, 2015 - Springer
We interpret the philosophy of Niels Bohr as related to the so called linguistic turn and
consider paraconsistency in the light of the Bohrian notion of complementarity. Following …
