  Wave functions live on configuration space. Schrodinger called this
entanglement. The linearity of the Schrodinger equation prevents the wave
function from representing reality. If the equation were non-linear (e.g.,
reduction models) the wave function living on configuration space still by
itself could not represent reality in physical space. In this paper, we
continue the line of reasoning discussed in our previous paper, "The
Fundamental Importance of Discourse in Theoretical Physics", [arXiv:1001.4111],
to explore the "measurement problem" in quantum mechanics. In particular we
present a new interpretation of quantum decoherence, and a novel critique of
the double slit experiment. In addition, we review the use of "determinism" in
the discourse of quantum mechanics, resolving the confusion created by theories
which attempt to restore determinism to quantum mechanics while confusing
determinism with ontological necessity. Finally, we review Bell's Theorem in
order to demonstrate that nonlocality is an inherent ontological quality of the
configuration space of the universe regardless of deterministic or
non-deterministic character of quantum mechanics.
