contents This chapter acknowledges a gap between the ``non-individuals'' interpretation of quantum mechanics and our world of experience, and begins to bridge it. Section 1 states the problem with Abner Shimony's ``Phenomenological principle''; section 2 briefly presents the interpretation with connection to standard quantum mechanics; section 3 presents the measurement problem in connection with the Phenomenological principle, the standard way out of it, and why the ``non-individuals'' interpretation of quantum mechanics should not follow it; section 4 finally shows two closed venues for such an interpretation (Bohmian mechanics and the Modal-Hamiltonian Interpretation), and two alternatives for such it (Everettian quantum mechanics and spontaneous collapse theories).
