The aim is to clarify the ontological status of Born-rule probabilities within quantum mechanics under a realist interpretation.
Introduced Distributed Presence as a conceptual framework for understanding quantum probabilities.
Analyzed the implications of measurement and superposition without hidden variables or multiverse assumptions.
Provided a cohesive interpretation of quantum phenomena such as wave-particle duality and entanglement.
Demonstrated that Born weights can be interpreted as presence fractions indicating degrees of reality before measurement.
Clarified that measurement actualizes one outcome from many prior possibilities without invoking pre-existing outcomes.
Proposed that the framework is compatible with Hilbert-space quantum mechanics, maintaining its interpretive nature.
