论文摘要

我们对量子基础研究研究理论的认知意义进行了重建。我们建议,操作理论的空间类似于模态逻辑的可能世界语义中可能使用的世界的空间,因此对这类研究的研究可以理解为探测模态结构。因此,我们认为,量子力学的操作公理化可以解释为结构现实主义的一种新型形式。我们讨论了这种解释对结构现实主义哲学和运营理论的未来的后果。

We undertake a reconstruction of the epistemic significance of research on operational theories in quantum foundations. We suggest that the space of operational theories is analogous to the space of possible worlds employed in the possible world semantics for modal logic, so research of this sort can be understood as probing modal structure. Thus we argue that operational axiomatisations of quantum mechanics may be interpreted as a novel form of structural realism; we discuss the consequences of this interpretation for the philosophy of structural realism and the future of operational theories.
