Not exactly "as if". You missed the word "parallel". IOW the two wave functions share some properties in common, but not necessarily all. In fact he says "collective" properties, IOW those properties which can be shared by a collection. That doesn't include position.

What are the parameters of the system state >that you believe the paper considers are pertinent? For that I would have to read the whole paper, and I am not so inclined at the moment. But if you find something to support your position, and post it here, I'll be happy to discuss it with you. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
