Abstract:
Since the proposal of the uncertainty principle, the debate between determinism and indeterminism has been extremely intense and has remained unresolved for a long time. This is mainly because the cognitive model in the macroscopic dimension has been adopted to analyze microscopic particles during the debate, thus falling into misunderstandings. In this context, it is necessary to provide a philosophical explanation for the uncertainty principle from the perspective of information agency theory. From the perspective of information agency theory, the cognitive framework of subject-information-object reveals the root of uncertainty. In the microscopic field, the indirect and delayed reflection of particle properties by the object information field, the limitations of the physiological and cognitive structures of the subject, and the changes in the particle state and deviations in information presentation by the tool system jointly contribute to the uncertainty of the state of microscopic particles. Similarly, uncertainty also exists in the macroscopic field, but it is not as obvious due to the relatively simple information agency links. This analysis helps to deeply understand the inevitability of uncertainty at the epistemological level, and at the same time prompts us to view the truth of the uncertainty principle comprehensively and from a developmental perspective, promoting in-depth understanding and research of relevant scientific achievements.
