Relativity and the Heisenberg Ontology

[rodsika]

Is it true that "The dogmas of relativity theory cannot be expected to apply to the consideration of the dynamical process by which reality actually unfolds."?? What does it mean? Physicist Stapp was describing about the Heisenberg ontology and it's possible relativity problem:

The real-tendency interpretation was promulgated by Heisenberg, but it seems to conflict with the dogmas of the theory of relativity. However, relativity theory itself is surrounded by long-standing controversies regarding the question of how it should be reconciled globally with that which locally we experience directly, namely the coming of reality into being or existence. This problem of reconciling relativity theory and "process" is the third fundamental problem mentioned in the introduction.

This relativity problem is resolved here by recognizing that Einstein’s conception of physical theory identifies it with the construction of mathematical laws that relate various elements from his static realm of readings of devices. This conception eliminates from physical theory, ab initio, the consideration of the process whereby reality comes into being or existence. The ideas and dogmas of the theory of relativity apply naturally only to those aspects of our understanding of nature that can be formulated within Einstein’s realm of readings. These aspects are precisely those representedby contemporary physical theory, namely relativistic quantum theory and classical relativity theory. The dogmas of relativity theory cannot be expected to apply to the consideration of the dynamical process by which reality actually unfolds.

This resolution of the relativity problem allows Heisenberg’s real tendency interpretation to be formulated in a clear and concrete form. In line with the ideas of Whitehead, reality is conceived to be created by a sequence of creative acts. The quantum-theoretic statistical rules become a reflection of real tendencies induced by the structure of the creative process.

rodsika, Henry Stapp has made important contributions to Physics, but his ideas about the mystical nature of human consciousness border on philosophy and religion.
