The main theme of this book is the idea that quantum mechanics is valid not only for microscopic objects but also for the macroscopic apparatus used for quantum mechanical measurements. The author demonstrates the intimate relations that exist between quantum mechanics and its interpretation which are induced by the quantum mechanical measurement process.

On the one hand, it is possible to give a rigorous justification of some important parts of interpretation, such as probability, by means of object theory.

This open problem has far-reaching consequences for the possibilit
