QUANTUM CYBERNETICS: SYSTEMIC MODELING VERSUS MAGICAL MYSTIFICATIONS OF QUANTUM THEORY

Despite all negative accounts in many popular and superficial discussions of quantum theory causal and realistic interpretations of the quantum me chanical formalism can be demonstrated to work perfectly well They accept nonlocality as a well established fact and mostly consider a quantum system as analyzable into a local particlelike nonlinearity of a generally nonlocal wavelike mode of some subquantum structure of the vacuum Dirac ether In this view a particle can be considered as being guided along one specific route by the generally nonlocal configurations of superimposed waves which spread along all possible paths of an experimental setup Moreover in the approach of quantum cybernetics an additional focus is on the fact that the energy and momentum of a particle also determine the wave behavior Thus waves and particles are mutually and self consistently defined and quantum cybernetics puts particular emphasis on the circular relationship mediated byplane waves between a quantum system and its macroscopically defined boundary conditions To show how firmly rooted this picture is in the orthodoxquantum theory an example is discussed here on the basis of the standard formalism that makes a systemic approach called for
