Defending the Pondicherry interpretation: A response to Shafiee, Jafar-Aghdami, and Golshani
Abstract
Recently Shafiee, Jafar-Aghdami, and Golshani (Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 37, 316--329) took issue with certain aspects of the Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics, especially its definitions and uses of "objective probability," its conception of space, the role it assigns to the macroworld in a universe governed by quantum laws, and its claim for the completeness of quantum mechanics. These issues are addressed.
