Resumen:
Given the impressive success of
environment-induced decoherence (EID), nowadays no interpretation of
quantum mechanics can ignore its results. The modal-Hamiltonian
interpretation (MHI) has proved to be effective for solving several
interpretative problems but, since its actualization rule applies to
closed systems, it seems to stand at odds of EID. The purpose of this
paper is to show that this is not the case: the states einselected by
the interaction with the environment according to EID (the elements of
the pointer basis) are the eigenvectors of an actual-valued observable
belonging to the preferred context according to the MHI.
