Letters for Andrei: QBism and the Unfinished Nature of Nature

Abstract

From the Text: How shall I tribute Andrei Khrennikov in this volume? With an email collection of course! But with what theme? It ought to be something big. One of the troubles of QBism's ontological program is that it is so sideways to the ways most run-of-the-mill philosophers of physics think, they don't even have the tools to parse its sentences. They simply can't see it as having to do with ontology at all. Maybe there is no remedy for this except to wait for the generation to die away. But QBism can and must move forward. Here we select some emails that might inspire a young researcher to throw in on the QBist ontological project, to help develop it on its own terms. The road to a proper, detailed QBist ontology is sure to be a hard one, but one has to start somewhere.
