But What is the Goal?: Viewing Quantum Mechanics through the Lens of Decision-Making

This fresh perspective on the otherwise perplexing realm of quantum mechanics begins by connecting the notion of progress in science to the evolution and evaluation of concepts. The goal of conceptual and theoretical innovation should be to improve understanding, but hidden beneath the elegant equations of theoretical physics is a conceptual mess. Mathematical reductionism, confusion between the map and the terrain, and abject deference to consensus have joined forces to undermine the goal ...
