The relational ontology of contemporary physics

Published 3 Jan 2022 in physics.hist-ph and quant-ph | (2201.00907v2)

Abstract: Quantum theory can be understood as pointing to an ontology of relations. I observe that this reading of quantum mechanics is supported by the ubiquity of relationality in contemporary fundamental physics, including in classical mechanics, gauge theories, general relativity, quantum field theory, and the tentative theories of quantum gravity.
