There is no such thing as individuality in the quantum realm

Sciences—suggests an alternative account. That is, one according to which not objects but relations are the ultimate constituents of reality.

What is fundamentally real are not particles as such, but rather the laws and symmetries (such as permutation invariance) that govern their behaviour.

Quantum theory and why objects are not fundamental

Cause for a relations-based worldview can be found in quantum theory (or, more specifically, quantum statistics).

We assume that objects are more fundamental than the relationships between those objects.

However, philosopher George Webster argues that quantum mechanics upends this common-sense picture.

In the quantum world, relations like symmetry are more real than the particles themselves. But neither our everyday language, nor the language of logic favoured by philosophers, can make sense of this.

Webster suggests that we turn to the weird and wonderful language of Gilles Deleuze to truly comprehend the quantum picture of reality.
