Non-individuality and Experience

There is a gap between the “non-individuals” interpretation of quantum mechanics and our world of experience. This chapter begins to bridge it. Section 9.1 states the problem with Abner Shimony’s “Phenomenological principle”; Sect. 9.2 briefly presents the interpretation with connection to standard quantum mechanics; Sect. 9.3 presents the measurement problem in connection with the Phenomenological principle, the standard way out of it, and why the “non-individuals” interpretation of quantum mechanics should not follow it; Sect. 9.4 finally shows two closed venues for such an interpretation (Bohmian mechanics and the Modal-Hamiltonian Interpretation), and two alternatives for such it (Everettian quantum mechanics and spontaneous collapse theories); Sect. 9.5 is a conclusion.
