Quantum theory is thus an information-based theory built upon the preparative actions of information-seeking agents

Quantum

theory is thus an information-based theory built upon

the preparative actions of information-seeking agents.

Probing actions of this kind are not only performed

by scientists. Every healthy and alert infant is continually

engaged in making wilful efforts that produce

experiential feedbacks and he or she soon begins to

form expectations about what sorts of feedbacks are

probable to follow from some particular kind of effort.

Thus, both empirical science and normal human life

are based on paired realities of this action–response

kind, and our physical and psychological theories are

both basically attempting to understand these linked

realities within a rational conceptual framework.
