Description
In the last decades, various efforts have been made in reconstructing the mathematical language of quantum theory from operational axioms. We will propose a perspective on the meaning of such results, highlighting their development that lead to a reconstruction of mechanical notions in a purely information-theoretic framework. We will argue in praise of a constructivist view on the underpinnings of quantum physics as the less metaphysically committed route to foundations left open after the experimental violations of Bell's inequalities. Consequently, we will invoke the introduction of measurement on the same fundamental footing as the laws of evolution of isolated systems
