Summary
In this chapter we develop the contextual approach to quantum mechanics.This approach matches with the views ofBohr who emphasized that the quantum description represents complexes ofexperimental physical conditions, in the modern terminology – experimentalcontexts. In this chapter we formalize the contextual approach on the basisof contextual probability theory which is closely connected with generalizedprobability theory (but interpretationally not identical with it). The contextualprobability theory serves as the basis of the contextual measurementmodel (CMM). The latter covers measurements in classical, quantum, andquasi-classical physics.
