  "abstract": "The possibility of a fundamental consistency between the basic quantum principles and reduction (so-called wave function reduction) is reexamined. The mathematical description of an organized macroscopic device is constructed explicitly as a convenient tool for this investigation. Previous no-go theorems excluding consistency are disproved on this ground, because their assumptions neglected the occurrence of organization in a real measuring apparatus. A scheme for deriving reduction from quantum mechanics is also proposed as a conjecture.",
