An interpretation of quantum mechanics is presented in which there is one hidden variable. While this number of hidden variables is insufficient to explain Bell nonlocality, it can help solve the measurement problem. It also provides an explanation of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment that is more intuitive than current explanations. In addition, a theory of nonlocality emerges directly from its assumptions. The key idea is that from the perspective of an outside observer, not correlated with an observed system, we treat all interactions within the system as unitary. However, from the perspective of an “observer” inside the system, we treat all new entanglements as “micro-observations” and as a projection onto some basis of measurement. One particle can “observe” another. Thus, particles will have a defined value on one measurement basis from an inside perspective. This means that the wave function, from the outside view, will at times describe an objective uncertainty, at other times a subjective uncertainty and at yet other times a combination of both. The standard wave function describes the total uncertainty, the minimal uncertainty that is present for any observer outside of the system, while for an observer inside the system, only the objective part of the uncertainty remains, and this can be described by an inner wave function. The hidden variable is invisible to the outside observer.
