Hello @yaziris:

I have read your essay and I have thought about it. I never heard of Bell, Von Neumann’ or Zeilinger. However, I found the discussion intriguing, though of course much of what you describe is a little obscure. Not, so obscure, however, that I gave up :)

When I read the word determinism I think of William James. But then you say this is not about philosophy. It is about science. So I looked up an article (what else am I to do if I want understanding?) and found this interesting piece. Already Whitehead, James, and Quantum Theory Whitehead’s Process Ontology as a Framework for a Heisenberg/James/von Neumann Conception of Nature and of Human Nature. I'll have to read it again (didn't read it all) but it seems to end up where you do, which is that there is no resolving the issue. Which doesn't mean it's not worth discussing. An interesting door has opened, as is often the case with STEMsocial blogs. I will certainly look through that door again.

Thanks for an enlightening discussion.
