Let's say, hypothetically, it is in principle correct that any behavior must have underlying mechanism, so there must be underlying mechanism beneath QM.   Would each component of that mechanism in turn requires yet more granular sub-mechanism to justify the behavior of the mechanism?    So do you postulate an infinite stack of mechanisms, like a building that has no foundation because its basement goes down infinitely deep?  Or do you accept at some level the stack stops, because the entire stack of mechanism can in fact be supported on some ultimate discernible foundation beneath which there are no further mechanisms?

one thing at a time.  lmao at conviction.  like your conviction to no mechanism?  but ok, lets look.

I have a choice "possibly a mechanism" and/or 'possibly no mechanism". lets apply a little common sense.

1) QM has made correct predictions every time.   that means our math model seems to be correct.  Our math being correct means there is some type of predictable pattern(s).  Patterns imply possible mechanisms for me.

2) we see mechanisms in everything else we see.  Since I see mechanisms everywhere, I predict a mechanism for QM too.

Those two are good enough,  Toss in the fact that science is looking for the mechanism right now.  So many others, much smarter than me, think so too.   Nail in coffin ... the standard model as represented by the PT.  Thats is why I lean towards a mechanism.

what is your evidence for holding to your conviction of no mechanisms?

Except that the results of QM specifically show that no mechanisms (hidden variables) can explain the observed phenomena.

Now, if that *isn't* what you mean by a 'mechanism', then please be more clear. What qualifies as a 'mechanism'? Can you give an example?

You say we see mechanisms all the time around us. Can you give an example and why you consider it to be a mechanism? And then tell whether you expect something similar to underly QM.
