Not that I know of, although it might be in a good public library. Sorry about that; I know it's unfair to ask you to look in an obscure book to get the basic drift of a contrarian argument; that sort of thing is rarely worth people's time. If you happen to live near Boston, Miami, or San Francisco, which are places I'll be over the next few months, then I'll be happy to lend you my copy.

I don't know nearly enough quantum physics to give you an intelligent answer to your question about amplitudes and systems in my own words. Again, sorry about that.

If you happen to live near Boston, Miami, or San Francisco...

Nope. Oh well, at least the exchange served to clarify that you really do consider choice ontologically fundamental, and not just a useful category for practical purposes.
