Abstract
A notably enhanced comprehension of the underlying meaning of quantum observations is achieved via a novel premise. Assessments, from first principles, are made of unexamined presumptions that lie at the heart of both conventional conceptions of the nature of physical existence and most interpretations of Quantum Mechanics. An alternative hypothesis, termed Episodic Time Inhabitation, is proposed to resolve major Quantum quandaries, including the EPR paradox. A logical argument gedanken experiment demonstrates that the conventional presumptions appear to create causal loops, and that Episodic Time Inhabitation avoids them. A physically realizable version of the gedanken experiment is outlined, and currently testable predictions for its outcome are made. Consequences of the experiment are summarized and ramifications of the hypothesis are discussed.
