Some ideas :

Why the space topology should be the same for the particle as it is at
the human scale ?

Why the particle should see both slits as two seperate sets of points
?

In General Topology there are plenty of topologies examples wich are
not separated . Why wouldn't that be the case for the space "as seen
by the particle"?

Speaking the topology langage, It would mean that :

 given two points x and y (some given points inside the slits) , and
two neighborhoods of x and y (slits) , those neighborhoos always
have common points (this is not the case of the "natural" topology
used in QM).

So the particle could travel across both slits, without breaking in
two pieces. It could be a ponctual object along its whole travel ,
with a trajectory in a non-seperated space.

The wave behaviour part of a particle could be a space property
(topology property) rather than a particle property. Obviously this
space would'nt be directly accesible to experiments and a
non-bijective function (continuous ?) would map the particle topology
onto the natural topology.

This model (if valid) would explain why all particles exhibits both
wave and ponctual object behaviours.
