SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the question of whether Quantum Mechanics (QM) qualifies as an intrinsic physical theory. The term "intrinsic physical theory" lacks clarity, which has led to the closure of the thread. Participants are encouraged to propose clearer wording for potential reopening. Ultimately, the thread remains closed due to the inability to foster a productive dialogue on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the concept of physical theories
  • Knowledge of philosophical terminology related to science

The purpose of the tread is to provoke varied opinions and to allow those who obtain such views to offer supporting evidence. The question is this: "to what extent is QM an intrinsic physical theory?"

"Intrinsic physical theory" is not clear enough to start a productive conversation, so this thread is closed. Send me a PM proposing more clear wording and the thread can be reopened.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the question, but it is not one that can be productively discussed or moderated within the bounds of this forum.
