when we have high measure.

I've always thought that QM offered great tools for social scientists, and
here's another example. Is it worthwhile to consider a life as the sum of
experiences along a given track of the world line, or can we borrow from
Feynman and view life as a "sum over histories?" If so, it might explain
false memories, love at first sight and coincidence.
