Summary
The dependence of a given logical structure and of a given probability space on a model assumed for the «system» concerned by these is brought into evidence. The performed analysis—which makes use of a well-known experiment of curpuscular interference—suggests a novel approach to questions holding a central role in the present controversies on the physical implications of quantum mechanics and on the coherence of modern physics.
Riassunto
Si mette in evidenza la dipendenza di una data struttura logica e di un dato spazio di probabilità da un modello assunto per il sistema che li riguarda. L'analisi svolta —che fa uso di un ben noto esperimento di interferenza corpuscolare—suggerisce un nuovo approccio ai problemi che svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nelle attuali controversie sulle implicazioni fisiche della meccanica quantistica e sulla coerenza della fisica moderna.
