The structure assumes a 3 x 10^80-dimensional universe, in which reside a non-fundamental, 3 x 10^80-dimensional wave function field and fundamental three-dimensional entities. It will be motivated in the context of other ontological interpretations as one of the most straightforward interpretations of quantum mechanics. I intend for these motivations to show that Configuration Space non-Fundamentalism is worthy of further consideration and specification.en-USphilosophy of quantum mechanicsontologymetaphysicsConfiguration Space RealismHumeanismThesispublic
