SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the AdS/CFT correspondence, specifically addressing the nature of ontology in the boundary and bulk. It is established that while the boundary ontology is quantum, the bulk is not strictly classical; rather, it is quantum at high energies, aligning with string theory principles. At low energies, classical gravity provides a sufficient approximation of the bulk behavior. This distinction highlights the complexity of interpreting quantum mechanics within the framework of AdS/CFT.
