Is Bohr's Correspondence Principle just Hankel's Principle of Permanence?

Published 16 Oct 2023 in physics.hist-ph and quant-ph | (2310.10192v2)

Abstract: No, but the paper argues that Bohr understood his correspondence principle, or at least an aspect of that principle expressed by the notion of rational generalization, as grounded in Hankel's principle of permanence, adapted to new historical and theoretical contexts. This is shown to illuminate some otherwise obscure aspects of Bohr's approach to quantum theory, as well as a seemingly strange criticism against this approach, due to Feyerabend and Bohm.
