Mark--"You stick something (i.e. a screen) in the way, you observe a
pattern. No matter where you put it, you see what the theory predicts.

That means the _potential_ for the patterns to exist is there whether

you put the screen there or not."

Yes, the 'potential' does exist, I would not argue that point, but
does that 'potential' manifest as a real diffraction pattern if there
is no atomic medium for the wave interference to deposit energy in?
Without the screen, do the waves just pass through each other without
real interaction?
