The Whole System Needs To Be Burned Down

Could you please forward my article to your philosopher friend?

Niels Bohr believed that the observer causes the wavefunction to collapse in an instant. Max Born introduced probabilistic rules—which Einstein famously rejected. Einstein held firm to deterministic principles. More recently, we propose that decoherence —the interaction with the environment—produces a correlated state.
Challenging our minds: in single-particle experiments, statistical patterns are strictly followed, though we still don’t fully understand why or how. This defies classical logic: there’s neither a causal chain nor a branching fork of reasons.
Now I pull chaos out of my pocket. Chaotic systems are fully deterministic, yet Laplace’s daemon cannot compute them precisely. The apparent result is complete randomness—still obeying a defined statistical distribution.
Gotcha! It’s the chaotic nature of decoherence that creates the statistical fork in reasoning. The elusive notion of ‘categoric insufficiency’ fades away. Tada!
