My idea on this is knowing that the interference phenomena is the telltale sign of waves. Two photons takes away the mistory. One photon interfering with itself is crazy thinking even in the quantum realm TreBert

That is the point. Mitch Raemsch

Probability theory based on random variables. But you didn't address the indeterminacy (ahem, generality) which is inherent to the very concept of "number". Why should I believe that probability theory is the only source of indeterminacy when numbers themselves are so nondescript (ahem, "general) that they might safely be regarded as employing indeterminacy themselves. |
