Abstract

Careful considerations concerning the interpretation of quantum mechanics serves not only for a better philosophical understanding of the physical world, but can also be instrumental for model building. After a resume of the author’s general views and their mathematical support, it is shown what new insights can be gained, in principle, concerning features such as the Standard Model of the elementary particles and the search for new approaches to bring he gravitational force in line with quantum mechanics. Questions to be asked include the cure for the formal non-convergence of renormalised perturbation expansions, the necessary discreteness of physical variables at the Planck scale, and the need to reconcile these with diffeomorphism invariance in General Relativity. Finally, a program is proposed to attempt to derive the propagation laws for cellular automaton models of the universe.
