If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.
Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered. If you have your own novel physics theory or model, which you would like to post for further discussion among then FQXi community, then please add them directly to the "Alternative Models of Reality" thread, or to the "Alternative Models of Cosmology" thread. Thank you.

Quantum Limits of Knowledge 2021
Monday 29th March, 2021
Wave function realism is an interpretative framework for quantum theories which recommends taking the central ontology of these theories to consist of the quantum wave function, understood as a field on a high-dimensional space. I will present and evaluate three standard arguments for wave function realism and clarify the sort of ontological framework these arguments support.

Many thanks from the lay perspective to Alyssa Ney and the minority cohorts arguing a rationalization for the chaos of the Quantum Mechanical method. What is to often omitted in the arguments about the role of the observer in causing the problem in measurement is that we are human, and have an essential psychological need for a sense of continuity to make sense of anything ourselves. Thanks again, now we're getting somewhere. jrc

Non-identical electrons can be a modeled example of "field(s) on a higher dimensional space with the structure of configuration space". Picture two popcorn puffs of equal mass, continually changing shape and the continuous mathematical function of the wavefunction, tracing the topological undulation of the condensed matter's unique configuration space of each. The two electrons have all the same physical properties but will each behave alike in their own time.
