This paper develops quantum state individualism, a fundamental ontology for what is usually known as 'orthodox quantum mechanics.' The central import of this ontology is that allows for a systematic evaluation of some of the main conclusions of the recent literature on quantum metaphysical indeterminacy. In particular, quantum state individualism supports the 'gappy' version of Jessica Wilson's determinable-based account of metaphysical indeterminacy; it implies that fundamental reality is perfectly precise; and third, it provides a non-disjunctive definition of determinables and thereby shields Wilson's account against the charge that it requires either a departure from classical logic or a revision of the quantum formalism.
本文提出了量子态个体主义,这是一种通常被称为“正统量子力学”的基本本体论。这种本体论的核心要义在于,它能够对近期关于量子形而上学不确定性的文献中的一些主要结论进行系统评估。具体而言,量子态个体主义支持杰西卡·威尔逊基于可确定属性的形而上学不确定性解释的“间隙”版本;它意味着基本实在是完全精确的;第三,它提供了可确定属性的非析取定义,从而使威尔逊的解释免受那种认为它要么需要背离经典逻辑要么需要修正量子形式体系的指责。
