The 'Correct' Quantum–Gravity Union Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Penrose (2004: 954):

As the reader will have gathered by now, I regard as a necessary feature of the correct quantum–gravity union that it must depart from standard quantum mechanics in some essential way, so that R becomes a realistic physical process (OR).

To be clear, R stands for 'reduction', which is the collapse of the wave function, and OR stands for 'objective reduction'. From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, the notion of objective reduction dissolves the distinction between potential and instance, which is essential for providing a coherent ontology for Quantum Theory.
