How uncertainty can save measurement from circularity and holism.
Studies in history and philosophy of science, 2020 Measurement results depend upon assumptions, and some of those assumptions are theoretical in character. This paper examines particle physics measurements in which a measurement result depends upon a type of assumption for which that very same result may

Holism as the significance of gauge symmetries [PDF]
, 2019 Not all symmetries are on a par. For instance, within Newtonian mechanics, we seem to have a good grasp on the empirical significance of boosts, by applying it to subsystems.

Hermeneutic Approach to Quantum Learning [PDF]
Journal of Philosophical Investigations, 2021 This paper aims to discover the key components of quantum theory in learning through hermeneutic research method. Quantum theory is exactly against the theory of simplicity. While the theory of simplicity has been influenced by modernity and the insights

Holism, Physical Theories and Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 Motivated by the question what it is that makes quantum mechanics a holistic theory (if so), I try to define for general physical theories what we mean by `holism'.
