  • Abstract
    I examine some problems standing in the way of a successful ‘field interpretation’ of quantum field theory. The most popular extant proposal depends on the Hilbert space of ‘wavefunctionals.’ But since wavefunctional space is unitarily equivalent to manyparticle Fock space, two of the most powerful arguments against particle interpretations also undermine this form of field interpretation.
