Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explicate the physical reasoning behind the quantum
interpretations of GF and RBW and to evaluate their promise as both explanatorily
sufficient and pragmatically useful interpretations of QM. I will show that both theories
are founded on sound physics and that while their radical claims about the nature of
reality may be unconventional, they seem to be supported by good physical reasoning.
Both of these theories will be shown to hold great promise for future work in both
4
theoretical and experimental physics, and with contributions from these theories, it
may be possible for us solve some of the most troubling problems that plague physicists
today.
