Abstract

Abstract. I would interpret the principal ontological postulates of relational quantum mechanics in terms of what medieval philosophers called “relational properties”. Relational properties are exactly like all other properties, but they can be ascribed to a substance only in reference to another substance. If this interpretation is correct, a quantum event is a very complex situation. To individuate a quantum event, two substances and two properties are necessary, each one pertaining to one of the substances. Moreover, also a form of ontological replacement is needed. After elaborating on a simple symbolism based on these postulates, we investigate quantum situations, such as Wigner’s friend paradox, the strange result of a sequence of Stern and Gerlach measurements, and the probability flux of wave function.
