Epistemological Perspectives on Quantum Theory (12873 words)
	This fundamental concern with sound epistemology, as reflected by the internal consistency and “elegance” of the advocated theoretical ideas, was exhibited in equal measure by the main founders of quantum theory – as amply witnessed in the writings of Bohr (1934, 1955, 1961), Born, Dirac and Heisenberg.
	As reflected by the activities of the “mainstream” in quantum theory, such conventions are primarily based on the consensus prevailing amongst the leading physicists of the present instrumentalist period in quantum physics as to what types of computational procedures are “acceptable”.
	It could be said that as a conceptual and mathematical framework, rather than as a family of quantum theories, the purpose of quantum geometry is to supply a precise operationally-based mathematical language, as well as a metalanguage, for the description of quantum phenomena in purely quantum mechanical terms.
