From Substance to Interaction: A Quantum Interpretation Based on an Interaction-First Approach

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the apparent conflict between quantum nonlocality and relativistic causality stem from attempts to describe the "intrinsic properties of independent entities." This paper proposes a methodological paradigm shift: physics should abandon the quest for "intrinsic properties" and instead treat the "external manifestations of dynamic interactions between systems" as its complete subject of study. Based on this, we construct the "Causal-Interaction Interpretation." Within this framework, the wave function is interpreted as a complete description of potential interactive possibilities, while wave function collapse is reconceptualized as a causal process of interactive actualization. We demonstrate that by focusing on the analysis of interaction processes themselves, this interpretation naturally resolves the measurement problem and explains quantum nonlocal correlations as manifestations of logical constraints established through historical interactions during local measurements. This approach denies any form of action-at-a-distance while achieving reconciliation with relativistic causality. 量子力学中的测量难题及量子非定域性与相对论因果性之间的显性冲突,根源于试图描述"独立实体的内在属性"。本文提出一种方法论上的范式转换:物理学应放弃对"内在属性"的追寻,转而将"系统间动态交互的外在表现"作为其完备的研究对象。基于此,我们构建"因果交互诠释"。在此框架中,波函数被诠释为对潜在交互可能性的完整描述,而波函数坍缩被重新概念化为一个交互的因果实现过程。我们证明,通过专注于分析交互过程本身,该诠释能自然解决测量问题,并将量子非定域关联解释为历史交互建立的逻辑约束的显现,从而在否定超距作用的同时,与相对论因果性达成调和。
