What is the quantum system? Consider the wavefunction of the electron, what\nwe call single particle wave-function and assume that it contains N wave\npackets. If we pass all the wave packets through an electric field, all are\ndeflected, as if each one of them contains an electron. However, if we bring\nany two wave packets to travel close to one another, they do not repel one\nanother, as if at least one of them contains no charge. In trying to solve the\nmeasurement problem of the quantum mechanics (QM), different interpretations\nwere proposed, each one coming with a particular ontology. However, only one\ninterpretation paid explicit attention to the contradiction mentioned above.\nThis interpretation was proposed by S. Gao who named it random discontinuous\nmotion (RDM), because it assumes the existence of a particle that jumps from\nplace to place at random. The particle carries all the physical properties of\nthe respective type of particle, mass, charge, magnetic momentum, etc. It jumps\nunder the control of a so called instantaneous condition about which Gao did\nnot give details so far. Along with presenting problems of the QM that this\ninterpretation solves, this text reveals difficulties vis- `a-vis entanglements\nand the special relativity.\n
