Problems of interpretations and their connection with ontology ofquantum mechanics

An adequate physical theory requires somethingmore than just mathematical equations and rules. It needs a philosophical conceptual framework aswell. Something special that allows theoretical statements to be connected with human experiences. Inclassical mechanics the interpretive framework that ties the mathematics to experience does not affectour ontological notion. The basic idea of the classically conceived connection between the physicallyand psychologically describes aspects of nature is carry-over from the planetary dynamics that was theorigin of classical mechanics: the locations of objects are regarded as being directly knowable, withoutany effects on those objects. In quantum mechanics the process of acquiring information, orknowledge pertaining to the location of that object affects the state that is being probed. This factchanges a status of observer. Now observer is an active part of the acquiring information scheme. Newidea of observer requires new model. Observer consists of several parts: object+ apparatus+environment+ consciousness of researcher. One of the most important function of consciousness isselection of conceptual interpretive framework for mathematical structure that ties theory andexperiment. The results of experiments make sense only in appointed interpretative paradigm.
