Abstract
Quantum mechanics is more than the derivation of straightforward theorems about vector spaces, Hilbert spaces and functional analysis. In order to be applicable to experiment and technology, those theorems need interpretation and meaning. Interpretation is to the formalism what a scaffolding in architecture and building construction is to the completed building.
