What this paper addresses

Part IV extends TOPI into QR/TOPI, Felix’s proposed framework for addressing the mutual incompleteness he identifies between Special Relativity and Quantum Theory, including probability, nonlocality, and frame invariance.

From the author’s abstract

In Felix’s words

We have ignored for a century that the incompleteness of Quantum Theory (QT) is inseparable from the incompleteness of Special Relativity (RT). In this article, I claim that the latter has been gravely incomplete vis-à-vis the former from 1927 until today. But completing RT in the light of QT is not as simple as merely postulating nonlocality and stochasticity as “elements of reality”; otherwise, RT would not still be in a “peaceful” conflict with QT after a century. Vice versa, I contend that QT is incomplete vis-à-vis RT, though not for the reasons claimed in the iconic EPR paper. We then show how to complete the Ontology, Foundation, and Structure of both RT and QT and merge them into an internally consistent embracive theory I call QR/TOPI. QR/TOPI provides the “radical conceptual renewal” wished by John Bell so as to integrate probability and nonlocality into an upgraded RT and, reciprocally, to integrate Frame-Invariance into QT while at the same time providing basic physical meaning to the resulting encompassing theory.
