Quantum Physics as an Impersonal Myth and Myth as Quantum Physics Given a Face

This article proposes a philosophical interpretation of quantum physics and myth as two complementary limit-languages of describing reality. Quantum mechanics is considered as a maximally formalized, impersonal framework for articulating the non-classical relational structure of physical reality. Myth is interpreted as an imagistic and experiential mode of engaging with a similar notion of wholeness. It is argued that the human subject, within a mythological ontology, should not be understood as an autonomous entity but as a relational node within a broader structure of reality. The article situates this proposal in relation to major interpretations of quantum mechanics, including the Copenhagen interpretation, QBism, and relational quantum mechanics.

Abstract

This article proposes a philosophical interpretation of quantum physics and myth as two complementary limit-languages of describing reality. Quantum mechanics is considered as a maximally formalized, impersonal framework for articulating the non-classical relational structure of physical reality. Myth is interpreted as an imagistic and experiential mode of engaging with a similar notion of wholeness. It is argued that the human subject, within a mythological ontology, should not be understood as an autonomous entity but as a relational node within a broader structure of reality. The article situates this proposal in relation to major interpretations of quantum mechanics, including the Copenhagen interpretation, QBism, and relational quantum mechanics.
