Preprint Reconstructs Bohr's Measurement View as Irreversible Physical Process Driving Principle-Based QM

Dorato's analysis draws on Bohr's writings to show the measurement interaction creates a new individuality, rendering the quantum-classical boundary pragmatic rather than fundamental. This resolves an apparent tension: Bohr required a classical description for unambiguous communication while denying any sharp ontic divide, consistent with his rejection of dynamical reduction proposals. The paper positions Bohr's stance as principle-theoretic, prioritizing consistency between the distinction and non-separability principles over mechanistic accounts. Historical context reveals Bohr's approach mirrored his earlier atomic model strategy, using principles to constrain possibilities without full dynamical specification. Related work by Howard and Faye on Bohr's philosophy supports the epistemic-on tic distinction, while recent QBism interpretations diverge by emphasizing information gain over physical irreversibility. The preprint correctly flags that treating interactions as mere information updates misreads Bohr's insistence on physical change. If accepted, this reading would tighten constraints on interpretations seeking to eliminate the classical apparatus, pushing toward relational or perspectival ontologies. A limitation is the absence of quantitative comparison with primary texts beyond selected passages; fuller archival analysis of Bohr's correspondence could test the reconstruction.
