Modern particle physics suggests an intriguing vision of physical reality: we are to imagine the symmetries of the world as fundamental, whereas the material constituents of the world (such as particles and fields) are ontologically derivative of them. This paper develops a novel ontology for non-relativistic quantum mechanics which gives precise metaphysical content to this vision.

量子力学中的对称原教旨主义

现代粒子物理学提出了一个关于物理现实的有趣愿景：我们将世界的对称性想象为基本的，而世界的物质成分（例如粒子和场）在本体论上是它们的派生。本文为非相对论量子力学开发了一种新颖的本体论，为这一愿景提供了精确的形而上学内容。
