Microphysical Reality and Quantum Formalism 53 Given the relative small volume van Oystaeyen Given the relative small volume (about 8000 terms) in der Tucholsky Forschung bislang marginalisiert one may start from the experimental evidence and or from models of the objective reality compatible with it and go on to inves tigate whether or not formalization of this knowledge can be accomodated within the broad confines of existing quantum theory The problem of the relationship between the existing quantum theory and objective reality at the atomic and subatomic levels can be tackled in essentially two ways: (i) One may focus attention on the formalism of the theory and attempt to deduce from it a coherent description of our measuring processes and a deeper understanding of the microworld
