    "abstract": "A simple model of quantum particle is proposed in which the particle in a\n{\\it macroscopic} rest frame is represented by a {\\it microscopic\nd}-dimensional oscillator, {\\it s=(d-1)/2} being the spin of the particle. The\nstate vectors are defined simply by complex combinations of coordinates and\nmomenta. It is argued that the observables of the system are Hermitian forms\n(corresponding uniquely to Hermitian matrices). Quantum measurements transforms\nthe equilibrium state obtained after preparation into a family of equilibrium\nstates corresponding to the critical values of the measured observable\nappearing as values of a random quantity associated with the observable. Our\nmain assumptions state that: i) in the process of measurement the measured\nobservable tends to minimum, and ii) the mean value of every random quantity\nassociated with an observable in some state is proportional to the value of the\ncorresponding observable at the same state. This allows to obtain in a very\nsimple manner the Born rule.",
