The von Neumann axioms aren't self interpreting .

Physicists are trained to understand things in terms of mathematical formalisms and experimental results, but that falls over when dealing with interpretation. Interpretations canot be settled empirically, by definition,, and formulae are not self interpreting.

My point was only that nothing in the axioms prevents macroscopic superposition.
