Description
We first introduce and discuss density operator interpretations of quantum theory as a special case of a more general class of interpretations, giving special attention to a version that we call the `atomic version'. We then review some crucial parts of the theory of stochastic processes (the proper context in which to discuss dynamics), and develop a general framework for specifying a dynamics for density operator interpretations. This framework admits infinitely many empirically equivalent dynamics. We give some examples, and discuss some of the properties of one of them.
