Here's what I understand about an electron in the double

There's your problem. You're insisting that the electron is
changing around because it "behaves" differently. The
behavior is in your interpretation. It's not in the
mathematics. So the fact that it seems to jump around in
ontology is the fault of your interpretation trying to impose
a medieval idea of substance.
And your interpretation is that the mathematics says the electron
has two positions or paths simultaneously, and goes through both
slits?
The wf goes thru both slits.
That's more or less what I said. AG
Where does the mathematics assert that unintelligible claim?
Waves can go through both slits, but not particles.
In your classical world view.
Not necessarily classical, but rather interpreting the "particle" as a
wave when we don't look; a quantum pov. My interpretation explains why
interference disappears in which-way experiment,
Your interpretation being what exactly? Does it work for the Buckyball
C60 experiment?
Brent
but what the hell, we can forget about that, and adopt an
unintelligible pov. AG

And here I thought you'd appreciate my interpretation. AG
Now please explain the form of the wf in S cat experiment,
applying decoherence before and after it completes, while
the box is closed. TIA, AG
There's in no "before and after it completes". The process
of transition from undecayed to decayed is continuous, at
least that's the MWI picture. When you open the box (or even
earlier) your brain becomes correlated, via decoherence, with
one or the other of the branches of the wf.
