Ah yes, of course. Thanks for the refresher. The Copenhagen view would be the functionalist, mainstream view then. While it operates just fine for a scientist taking measurements and conducting empirical work, it has many shortcomings when it comes to explanation and conceptual understanding.

Works fine for practicing scientists (for now), but philosophically insufficient it seems to me. Eventually, that lack of conceptual understanding is going to come back to bite even the Copenhagenists in the rear I think.
