Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This is a short metaphysical fable accentuating the conceptual difficulties involved, and succinctly criticizing the approaches pursued since the inception of quantum theory, in dealing with what is known collectively as `the measurement problem.' It includes some landmark references, and has appeared in the special issue of Metaphysical Review dedicated to Descartes on his 400th birthday: Metaphysical Review, vol. 3, no. 1, July 1996.
