Layman ruminations on quantum mechanics

Is HUP inapplicable to photons? Emit the photon and detect it, the
photon only travels at c so the straight line from the emitter to the
detection indicates its momentum, and the detection indicates its
position.

An idea here is to emulate the dual slit experiment with pachinko
machines. Then, there's the notion of adding extra balls, levers, or
pins to the replicate the effects as experimentally seen.

Another notion has to do with the particle as wave and the observer.
It's basically that the wave is a tangle that unravels and snaps,
basically, bursts like a bubble, it has surface tension of sorts and
why that is random, the snap, or infinite and so forth. That's similar
to a fluid model for electricity, where, you know, viscosity is
reversed and so on.

Measurement as activity, what is the interaction of these measurements?
To be detected, the photon reaches the eye. The cognitive machinery
and consciousness is way too much, besides it is objectivist, say an
alien star winks out and we see it a hundred years from now, for them
it happened a hundred years ago.

So that's against the Copenhagen interpretation, that the states are in
superposition, basically that the particle observes itself. Yet then,
how does this quantum computing go? That's confusing.

For the particles to be entangled, they're basically parts of the same
field, with tar-offs and so on, when the photon is evaluated it aready
was. What then are these off-kilter distributions in the Bell EPR
experiment? Those spins are degenerate axes to each other.

The diffraction pattern, the interference, when the particle is
detected in passing it generates its own interference as if it had
passed through the other slit, but, sometimes it does pass through the
other slit. So, it is entering the chamber, and totally filling the
space of the chamber, then why is it detected at one or another and not
both of the detectors as half particle?

Maybe it can be considered to have a virtual wavefront, ghosting and
concepts of ghosting. The wave function, collapses, but the momentum
of the wavefront carries its potential through and out.

This collapse, it's like the opposite of a rubber band separating: the
pieces of the band fly away from the separation. Instead, it's like
infinite surface tension, the sampler or detector draws in everything.
Again, then, why not half particles? Maybe it can only be broken in
one spot. If you cut a tight rubber band simultaneously at infinitely
many points, would each segment contract?

Yet, then, somehow the particle proceeds to the collector, and it is
back to being the wave and the particle. It catches up with its
wavefront, which was basically paused, because something is causing it
to make the interference pattern as if it went through both slits,
because the wavefront, or a potential indicator or something, did go
through both slits.

So, then there's the collector, it can provide information of where the
particle landed, and the detector, a different device, that only says
that the particle passed through. Are the actual mechanisms of those
as used in experiment affecting particle interactions on those?

So, I wonder if there's some kind of virtual wavefront, and what these
particles are doing, how the collapse of the wave function reforms back
to the wavefront.
