Abstract

This paper should be read as a philosophical companion to recent formal results, where the technical derivations are presented. Here, the focus is on their conceptual and interpretative implications. Those results lead to a radically epistemic reading of quantum mechanics (QM): the theory emerges as an ineliminable logical necessity, even within classical, deterministic, and non-chaotic scenarios. This perspective allows QM to be reconciled with a strong—one might say Einsteinian—realism, and perhaps even to reinforce it. In this sense, QM is here reinterpreted as a certification of that very realism in a strictly epistemic sense.
