"Knowledge" in Psi-Epistemic Interpretation Fundamental or Emergent?

[QUOTE="DarMM, post: 6222576, member: 140662"] Psi-Epistemic views divide into those where the wave-function represents ignorance of underlying variables ##\lambda## and those where it merely carries information about future macroscopic impressions that result from experiments on the microscopic world. In the second case whatever the world fundamentally consists of cannot be described with mathematical variables. The names for these aren't really standardised yet. Being called either: [LIST=1] [*]Psi-Epistemic Type I, Psi-Epistemic Type II [*]Psi-Statistical, Psi-Doxastic [*]Psi-Epistemic, Psi-Doxastic [/LIST] depending on the author. The PBR theorem shows that without giving up conventional notions of causality (i.e. some sort of 3+1D dynamical account of events) the first type are not going to work. [/QUOTE]
