Realism-Completeness-Universality interpretation of quantum mechanics

The paper reviews and discusses four ideas scattered in previous papers of the author. First, objective properties of quantum systems are not associated with observables but are defined by preparations. Second, measurable results of classical theories are not sharp. All such results can be obtained as high-entropy limits of quantum mechanics. Third, a careful study of exchange symmetry requires a modification of the theory of measurement. Fourth, screens and detectors are closely associated with state reduction. A new, rather improved understanding of quantum mechanics is achieved without any deep changes of the theory itself. In the framework of a model approach to the philosophy of science, the RCU interpretation is developed step by step by adding specific supplementary hypotheses to the Minimum Interpretation of quantum mechanics.
