Abstract The first overarching societal task we address is demystification. This all about public perceptions of new technologies. System technologies appeal particularly to the imagination, because their wide range applications and generic nature confer a certain intangible quality. In Chap. 4 discussed risk that this might trigger overblown expectations inordinate fears, effects can make hard...

Recently a new attempt to go beyond QM was performed in the form of so called prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT). In this approach quantum systems are described by classical random fields, e.g., electron field or neutron field. Averages of quantum observables arise as approximations of averages of classical variables (functionals of “prequantum fields”) with respect to fluctu...
