Bob, all around wonderful presentation, Vega—clarity, just great stuff and very clear and profound. I'm sure you've heard of altervatives to quantum wave function collapse which was ironically invented by one of John Wheeler's grad students, Hugh Everett III. Here's an abstract from one presentation I gave about it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305045067_Many_World's_Interpretation_Wave_Collapse_and_Paranormal_Phenomena_Towards_Explaining_the_Unexplainable

Wheeler never supported this many worlds approach as he was a fan of Niels Bohr and the traditional Copenhagen Interpretation which says that quantum paths you don't observe somehow disappear (the "Disappearing Worlds Interpretation"). And there is an even more modern viewpoint from Wiseman, Deckert, and Hall that says you don't even need a quantum wave or "decoherence" at all to do quantum mechanics. It just emerges from lots of jostling particles. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7261-y#Sec1

Anyways, great stuff and looking forward to more. Cheers.
