Comment on On the Double-Slit Experiment and Quantum Interference in the Wolfram Model (2020)parent

It's an interesting question but matrix mechanics is already a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_mechanics

For me it's a reminder that physics describes how quantum systems evolve, but it doesn't (in a sense) tell us what those systems are. Are particles waves? Matrices? Excitations of a field?

Each of these descriptions works, so I can't exclusively say any one of them is what particles really are. Bring a macroscopic being is philosophically frustrating.
