In our path integral constraint-based account, the wavefunction in
configuration space is not even used, so our account is trivially
psi-epistemic.
Essentially, the mystery in both experiments is caused by a
dynamical/causal view of QM, e.g., time-evolved states in Hilbert space,
and as we show this mystery can be avoided by a spatiotemporal,
constraint-based view of QM, e.g., path integral calculation of probability
amplitudes using future boundary conditions.
What will become clear is that rather than furiously seeking some way to
make dubious deep connections between quantum physics and conscious
experience, the kinds of 4D adynamical global constraints that are
fundamental to both classical and quantum physics and the relationship
between them, also constrain conscious experience. That is, physics
properly understood, already
is psychology.
