This is just a thought, and I want to see if people buy it or refute it.
Could quantum superposition be an indication of something becoming “less real”? Suppose you had a particle in a state of superposition. Consider its position. To be in a state of superposition with respect to its position, the particle’s position would not be anything in particular. You could not say that its at (x,y,z) or anything definite like that. One could therefore say that it doesn’t really have a position - or that its position is “less real”. You couldn’t say that it is fully unreal because there is still a certain probability that, when measured, it will be found in one position rather than another. You could say this of any of its properties when they exist in superposition states. So if we consider the particle to be the sum of all its properties, could we say of the particle itself that when it enters a superposition state, that it becomes “less real”.
No particle has a definite position. And even if we don’t know things about a particle in superposition, the double-slit experiment shows that both states of a particle in superposition can affect each other. So we could say that such a particle is less real (or more real, if you subscribe to the multiple-worlds school (more worlds=more real?)), but it isn’t useful. It would be an exercise in defining “real”, rather than an advancement in any sort of understanding.
Once again, man might be confusing these particles as “things” which can exist in and of themselves.
A point of a pen requires its metal backing…
Quantum concentration-points may be the result of some more subtle, difficult-to-observe, nature-controlling force, and the particle of any kind is merely a illusory side-effect.
Instance and formation are always supported by a changing-yet-greater force or multiplicity.
