我们概述了玻姆力学是如何工作的：它如何处理量子力学基础中的各种问题，以及它如何与通常的量子形式主义相关。然后，我们转向对玻姆力学的一些反对意见，例如，在玻姆力学中，粒子组态对波函数没有反作用的事实。这些将我们引向我们主要关心的问题：更仔细地考虑波函数在量子力学中的意义，正如玻姆观点所建议的那样。我们提出，在宇宙的水平上，之所以不存在组态对波函数的作用，就像在物理实在的所有其他元素之间似乎存在的那样，是因为宇宙的波函数不是物理实在的一个元素。我们提出，波函数属于与实体物理实体完全不同的存在范畴，它的存在是法则的而不是物质的。换句话说，我们认为波函数是物理定律的一个组成部分，而不是定律所描述的实在的一个组成部分。
We outline how Bohmian mechanics works: how it deals with various issues in the foundations of quantum mechanics and how it is related to the usual quantum formalism. We then turn to some objections to Bohmian mechanics, for example the fact that in Bohmian mechanics there is no back action of particle configurations upon wave functions. These lead us to our main concern: a more careful consideration of the meaning of the wave function in quantum mechanics, as suggested by a Bohmian perspective. We propose that the reason, on the universal level, that there is no action of configurations upon wave functions, as there seems to be between all other elements of physical reality, is that the wave function of the universe is not an element of physical reality. We propose that the wave function belongs to an altogether different category of existence than that of substantive physical entities, and that its existence is nomological rather than material. We propose, in other words, that the wave function is a component of physical law rather than of the reality described by the law.
