[Commentary of Rosenfeld 1971a] Bohr wanted to pursue the epistemological analysis … the two aspects opposed in the particle-wave dualism. … The conjugate variables for which [the indeterminacy relations] hold refer, … wave: to the former are attached the momentum … [p. 60] The indeterminacy relations are therefore essential to … concepts belonging to the two extreme pictures may … [Bohr] proposed the name "complementarity," conscious that he … Google-1 Google-2
