Modern particle physics suggests an intriguing vision of physical reality: we are to imagine the symmetries of the world as fundamental, whereas the material constituents of the world (such as particles and fields) are ontologically derivative of them. This paper develops a novel ontology for non-relativistic quantum mechanics which gives precise metaphysical content to this vision.
我们应将世界的对称性视为基本的，而世界的物质构成要素（如粒子和场）在本体论上是由对称性派生出来的。本文为非相对论量子力学发展了一种新颖的本体论，赋予了这一观点精确的形而上学内涵。
