  Although the present paper looks upon the formal apparatus of quantum
mechanics as a calculus of correlations, it goes beyond a purely operationalist
interpretation. Having established the consistency of the correlations with the
existence of their correlata (measurement outcomes), and having justified the
distinction between a domain in which outcome-indicating events occur and a
domain whose properties only exist if their existence is indicated by such
events, it explains the difference between the two domains as essentially the
difference between the manifested world and its manifestation. A single,
intrinsically undifferentiated Being manifests the macroworld by entering into
reflexive spatial relations. This atemporal process implies a new kind of
causality and sheds new light on the mysterious nonlocality of quantum
mechanics. Unlike other realist interpretations, which proceed from an
evolving-states formulation, the present interpretation proceeds from Feynman's
formulation of the theory, and it introduces a new interpretive principle,
replacing the collapse postulate and the eigenvalue--eigenstate link of
evolving-states formulations. Applied to alternatives involving distinctions
between regions of space, this principle implies that the spatiotemporal
differentiation of the physical world is incomplete. Applied to alternatives
involving distinctions between things, it warrants the claim that,
intrinsically, all fundamental particles are identical in the strong sense of
numerical identical. They are the aforementioned intrinsically undifferentiated
Being, which manifests the macroworld by entering into reflexive spatial
relations.
