Conclusions: The comparative analysis of different quantum mechanical interpretations suggests new ways to face the deeply rooted interpretational problem. This kind of analysis might contribute to a possible future consensus in the interpretation of quantum mechanics. The comparison put forth in this article among three different approaches to quantum mechanics has oriented the development of an information-theoretic Darwinian approach from which quantum mechanics could emerge as a realist, quasi-causal, and local theory that would code an optimal strategy for the stability of physical systems. In addition DAQM presents a unifying information-theoretic scheme for physical and biological systems that might contribute to a deeper understanding of nature.
