It is shown that the interpretation of quantum mechanics as a theory describing systems for which their propositions are always valid or not leads t o a contradiction within the theory. The proof does not depend on any specific property of measurements, but only the usual description of ensembles of
We generalize classical statistical mechanics to describe the kynematics and the dynamics of systems whose variables are constrained by a single quantum postulate (discreteness of the spectrum of values of at least one variable of the theory). This is possible provided we adopt Feynman's suggestion
A formal but not conventional equivalence between stochastic processes in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics and Schriidinger dynamics in quantum mechanics is shown. It is found, for each stochastic process described by a stochastic differential equation of Ito type, there exists a Schrodinge
