We propose an interpretation of physics named potentiality realism. This view, which can be applied to classical as well as to quantum physics, regards potentialities (i.e. intrinsic, objective propensities for individual events to obtain) as elements of reality, thereby complementing the actual properties taken by physical variables. This allows one to naturally reconcile realism and fundamental indeterminism in any theoretical framework. We discuss our specific interpretation of propensities, that require them to depart from being probabilities at the formal level, though allowing for statistics and the law of large numbers. This view helps reconcile classical and quantum physics by showing that most of the conceptual problems that are customarily taken to be unique issues of the latter -- such as the measurement problem -- are actually in common to all indeterministic physical theories.

潜力实在论:基于倾向的现实且不确定的物理学

我们提出了一种名为“潜能实在论”的物理学解释。这种观点既适用于经典物理学,也适用于量子物理学,它将潜力(即单个事件获得的内在的、客观的倾向)视为现实的元素,从而补充了物理变量所具有的实际属性。这使得人们能够在任何理论框架中自然地调和现实主义和基本的非决定论。我们讨论了对倾向的具体解释,尽管考虑到统计数据和大数定律,但要求它们偏离正式层面上的概率。这种观点有助于调和经典物理学和量子物理学,因为它表明,大多数通常被认为是后者独特问题的概念问题(例如测量问题)实际上是所有非确定性物理理论的共同点。
