Hi Eric,
You are asking important questions which have been discussed by this
group but to which imo, no satisfactory answer was given.
First I'll widen the problem to place it in context. I can think of at
least five ways that QM manifest itself:

Thanks for the opinions. You have

mathematics can, in principle, be derived from the properties of the empty set,

Readers might be interested in a project group (which includes Hal and
myself) which is aimed at a systematic investigation of the fundamental

commitment to careful rational thought can join in.

Maybe.
But physical science can offer more than the old riddles.

If you *encode* the "welcher weg" information
you get decoherence.

How do we define (de)coherence? What makes interference

First, these are two separate questions.

So far so good, the problem starts when it is assumed that the

Taking the double-slit experiment in mind, with paths A and B,
