There were only a handful of journals that would accept papers on quantum foundations, among them Foundations of Physics, where Zeh’s paper had finally ended up.

Billing itself as a permanent written symposium on “hidden variables and quantum uncertainty,” this samizdat was hand-typed, published by mimeograph, and overseen by an informal collection of editors, including Shimony.
