A physical theory consists of the mathematical formalism and an interpretation, which contains the definition of symbols, measurement assignments, concepts and principles, and an ontology. We present a scheme to classify these different levels of a physical theory and apply it to Newtonian Mechanics and the interpretations of Quantum Mechanics. We show that this classification scheme is embedded in the methodology of philosophy of science. With this scheme, different interpretations of Quantum…

The conception of reality in Quantum Mechanics
Disputes on the foundations of Quantum Mechanics often involve the conception of reality, without a clear definition on which aspect of this broad concept of reality one refers. We provide an…
Einstein's 1935 papers: EPR=ER?
In May of 1935, Einstein published with two co-authors the famous EPR-paper about entangled particles, which questioned the completeness of Quantum Mechanics by means of a gedankenexperiment. Only…

The Ontology of Bohmian Mechanics
TLDR
The article points out that the modern formulation of Bohm’s quantum theory, known as Bohmian mechanics, is committed only to particles’ positions and a law of motion, and sketches out how these options apply to primitive ontology approaches to quantum mechanics in general.
One world, one beable
TLDR
It is argued that Humeans about laws can treat classical and quantum wave functions on a par and that doing so yields many benefits.

A formal system for classical particle mechanics, its model-theoretic applications and space-time structure
TLDR
This paper will formulate a formal system for classical particle mechanics in Leibnizian space-time, where a relation, a counterpart of the second law of motion, between force on bodies and derivative of their momentum will be defined relative to every, inertial or not, reference frame.

Theoretical Terms in Science
What is a theoretical term? This question can be answered in at least two different ways. First, a theoretical term is simply a non-observational term. Second, a theoretical term is one whose meaning…
