ˌinterpheˈnomenon Physics.
Pl. -phenomena.
[inter- 2 b.]
Reichenbach's name for a phenomenon that cannot (even in principle) be inferred or demonstrated straightforwardly from observations in accordance with the laws of classical physics. Hence used for any unobserved phenomenon.
1944H. Reichenbach Philos. Found. Quantum Mech. i. §6. 21 We..shall consider as unobservable all those occurrences which happen between the coincidences, such as the movement of an electron, or of a light ray from its source to a collision with matter. We call this class of occurrences the interphenomena. Occurrences of this kind are introduced by inferential chains of a much more complicated sort; they are constructed in the form of an interpolation within the world of phenomena, and we can therefore consider the distinction between phenomena and interphenomena as the quantum mechanical analogue of the distinction between observed and unobserved things. 1956― Direction of Time v. §25. 217 The terms ‘particle’ and ‘wave’ both belong to the language of interphenomena. They assert something about what happens between the localized phenomena. 1956E. H. Hutten Lang. Mod. Physics v. 195 In classical physics..the unobserved phenomena are supposed to follow the same laws as the observed phenomena. The idealised character of measurement in classical theory allows us to speak about these interphenomena. Ibid., The uncertainty principle makes it impossible to introduce interphenomena. |
