Zusammenfassung: | When discussing quantum ontology, the debate has recently focused on comparing and contrasting wavefunction realism and its rivals. Among them one finds the primitive ontology approach, which is often conflated with the local beables program. In this paper I wish to clarify what I take to be the distinction between the notion of primitive ontology and the one of local beable. I argue that the primitive ontology is the local beable which allows for a dynamical, constructive explanation which preserves symmetries.
Cuando se habla de ontología cuántica, el debate se ha centrado recientemente en comparar y contrastar el realismo de la función de onda y sus rivales. Entre ellos se encuentra el enfoque de la ontología primitiva, que a menudo se funde con el programa de beables locales. En este artículo deseo aclarar lo que considero la distinción entre la noción de ontología primitiva y la de beable local. Sostengo que la ontología primitiva es el beable local que permite una explicación dinámica y constructiva que preserva las simetrías. |
