Is it the same thing as the copenhagen interpretation, what's different about it?

Neo-copenhagenism is a philosophical approach to understanding reality that is based on the idea of subjectivity. It suggests that our perception of the world and our experiences are shaped by our individual perspectives and cannot be separated from them.
Neo-copenhagenism differs from traditional copenhagenism in that it emphasizes the role of the observer in shaping reality, while traditional copenhagenism focuses more on the objective existence of the physical world. Neo-copenhagenism also incorporates elements of postmodernism and existentialism into its philosophy.
Some prominent figures in the development of neo-copenhagenism include philosophers such as Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg also played important roles in shaping this philosophical approach through their work in quantum mechanics.
Neo-copenhagenism and quantum physics share a close relationship, as both focus on the subjective nature of reality and question the traditional idea of an objective, deterministic world. Neo-copenhagenism has been heavily influenced by the principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the uncertainty principle and observer effect.
Criticisms of neo-copenhagenism include the idea that it is too focused on the individual and ignores the role of social and cultural influences on reality. Some also argue that it is too abstract and lacks practical applications. Additionally, some critics question the validity of the philosophy in light of emerging scientific theories and advancements.
