Abstract

Bohr called this novel type of statistical causality complementariness; two mutually exclusive modes of description were said to be complementary, and they then conditioned each other in a statistical way. This relation of complementariness, expressing the limitations of the classical concepts, made it possible to give a complete and consistent account of atomic phenomena in terms of these classical concepts of physics.According to N. Bohr, there is an effort to achieve a more and more precise formulation of the idea of complementariness, and to develop its wider ontological or gnoseological implications as well as to make the phenomenological applications of quantum mechanics to other sciences possible, in this article.
