Abstract
In recent well-regarded interpretations of quantum physics, including the consistent decoherent histories approach proposed by Robert Griffiths (1984, 2002), and those of Roland Omnès (1994) and Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann (1997), we have seen careful investigations into the physical (i.e., not “merely philosophical”) distinction between the order of contingent causal relation and the order of necessary logical implication. A careful philosophical exploration of the function of the logical order in modern interpretations of quantum physics compels the abandonment of derivative classical, dualistic understandings of “logical necessity versus causal contingency,” “subject versus object,” “epistemic versus ontological,” “determinism versus indeterminism,” among other conventional, fundamental dualisms. The incoherence underlying this classical understanding of these principle-pairs as mutually exclusive features of reality can be relieved if they are instead understood as mutually implicative features of fundamental units of relation or logically conditioned “quantum praxes.”
