By coupling wave functions to spacetime curvature and gauge fields, the theory establishes a dynamic, bidirectional relationship between quantum states and spacetime geometry. This approach provides a unified description of quantum forces in highly curved and dynamic gravitational fields, extending beyond the limitations of existing theories. The theory offers fresh insights into quantum gravity, quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and particle physics in extreme conditions, serving as a versatile tool for exploring the interplay between quantum mechanics and spacetime structure.

As recently pointed out by Adlam, this gives rise to the question of the relationship between the facts that obtain relative to complex systems and the facts that obtain relative to their constituents. In this paper, I respond to Adlam’s discussion of what she calls the Combination Problem. My starting point is a maximally permissive default view according to which any collection of systems counts as a new system and composites inherit all facts that obtain relative to their constituents. Subsequently, I advance three main claims: First, that Adlam’s arguments in favour of a more restrictive approach are not compelling. Second, that even if they were, she is wrong to claim that a ‘tamed’ version of RQM with postulated links between perspectives is in a better position to support such a restrictive approach. And third, that the possibly most difficult aspect of the Combination Problem in fact pertains to the combination of quantum states and probabilities. While significant challenges for the permissive solution arise here, I argue that they are likely to arise for any plausible response to the Combination Problem. More tentatively, I propose a strategy to mitigate the difficulty based on the observer-dependence of relative quantum state assignments. Along the way, I address crucial foundational issues in Relational Quantum Mechanics, from cross-perspective communication to the link between relative facts and experiences to empirical adequacy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":569,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Physics","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10701-025-00853-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145169947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As quantum theory is known not to satisfy local realism, our formulation of local realism in terms of commutative diagrams provides yet another way in which the notion of non-commutativity plays a fundamental role in quantum theory.

By evaluating previous successes of the guiding principle of technical naturalness, we restrict its applicability to non-fundamental phenomena in the realm of provisional theories within limited energy scales. In view of further breaches of autonomy of scales in apparently fundamental phenomena outside particle physics, the hierarchy problem of the Higgs mass is instead reinterpreted as an indication of the ontologically fundamental status of the Higgs boson. Applying the concept of robustness of theoretical elements under theory changes by Worrall and Williams justifies this seemingly contradictory attribution within the effective theories of the standard model of particle physics. Moreover, we argue that the ongoing naturalness debate about the Higgs mass is partly based on the adherence to the methodology of effective theories (often claimed to be universally applicable), for which there is no justification when dealing with presumably fundamental phenomena such as the Higgs mechanism, even if it is embedded into an effective theory.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":569,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Physics","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144090983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
