Dear Russell, I really would like to read (if ever) about that darn complementarity - based on/around a different example from the stale double-slit experiment (which it was really constructed for).
IMO the 'double' nature of particle-wave is not (well?) understood and this resulted in sweating out the 'complementarity' syndrome to explain some hard-to-follow experimental results within the ongoing formalism. (I mean to match the quantized items within the system). Since 2x10^m million experiments - calculations and 3x10^n papers (not to speak about hundreds of prizes, tenthousands of tenure) have been devoted to the concept - taught to 3 consecutive generations of young receptive brains, it would be a BIG job to reformulate it. Yet it would be refreshing to approach the concept from another side (another framework), - maybe a new one??????
