What is Apollinari's relational interpretation of quantum mechanics?
The relational interpretation posits that the state of a quantum system is not an absolute property but is defined relative to another system with which it interacts. Measurement, in this view, is an interaction that establishes a relationship, thereby manifesting a particular property. It avoids the paradoxes arising from observer dependence by grounding reality in the interplay of systems, rather than a singular, independent observer or a pre-existing, objective state. It's a way to reconcile the apparent subjectivity of quantum phenomena with the objective character of scientific law.
