No, we're not talking interpretations of the Writings, as that is verboten. We are talking another type of interpretation for which the Writings may give us more insight than we expect.
That is, the interpretations of quantum mechanics which are central to many discussions about the philosophy of science, and of life. See the 'Comparison' table, provided below as an image.
Several of these are Operational-ly oriented, which can be considered smart related to the choice (second bullet). In a sense, this stance takes a "don't care" view. However, some apply fairly sophisticated techniques, such as stochastic mechanics, that do beg a question of 'whence this?' (the old quasi-empirical issue mentioned here ad nauseam).

The 'standard' interpretation seems to have a top-down flavor. Given that metaphysics needs to be introduced, almost by necessity, there are variations here that might be interesting.
Prior to introducing that, there are several notions related to the Manifestation that deserve some attention.
