Abstract The orthodox Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory is silent on the question of the collapse of the wave function. The field is therefore wide open. If we choose to reject the strict Copenhagen interpretation, we are, given our present level of understanding, free to choose exactly how we wish to fill the void. Any suggestion, no matter how strange, is in principle legitimate, provided that it does not produce a theory inconsistent with the predictions of quantum theory known to have been upheld so far by experiment. We are not constrained to a specific solution. Our choice is therefore a matter of personal taste.
