Propensity Theory proposes a foundational root theory encompassing quantum mechanics within a unified deductive framework. Starting from propensity as a fundamental ontological category, the theory explains all phenomena through a five-stage cycle of bond formation and dissolution. Numerical simulations across six quantum phenomena show agreement with established predictions. The theory also introduces Propensity Induction — a methodology for actively designing phenomena. Includes Author's Clarifying Notes on pluralistic realism and the genesis of information.

I offer an alternative interpretation of Van Fraassen's influential arguments against causal realism in quantum mechanics. These arguments provide in fact a good guide to the different causal models available for the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations, which in turn shed light on the nature of quantum propensities.
