The series concludes with a diagnostic perspective: quantum interpretations proliferate and persist not because of conceptual failure, but because of the structural underdetermination of the formalism.
No new interpretation is offered, nor is a prescriptive resolution attempted. The purpose is visibility: to understand why disagreement is stable, why convergence is improbable, and how interpretations function as internally coherent reparcellations of the same unconstrained mathematical object.
Recognition entails appreciating the structural dynamics:
Empirical equivalence ensures no interpretation is privileged by observation alone.
Internal coherence allows each framework to maintain authority and legitimacy.
Structural divergence produces stable disagreement even among experts who share the same data.
By attending to these dynamics, educators, researchers, and philosophers can engage quantum mechanics relationally: understanding the difference between formalism and narrative, between model and world, without conflating mathematical representation with phenomena. Recognition without prescription respects both the complexity of the field and the structural patterns that make the multiplicity of interpretations intelligible.
