Feynman's Path Integral Technique Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Gribbin (1989: 241-2):

Feynman tells us that in the two–slit experiment we not only have to think of the electron going through both holes at once, but also as taking every possible path through both holes at once.  The conventional quantum view has it that there is no trajectory; from Feynman's point of view, we have to take account of every trajectory.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, Feynman's taking into account of every possible trajectory is the construing of experience as quantum system potential.

It is not true that one electron goes through both holes at once, since a singly fired electron is detected as having passed through one hole or the other.  The statistical distribution of multiple electrons is in line with the overall probabilities of the potential of the quantum system.

It is not true that there is no trajectory, but that, without observation, there is no construal of the experience as an instance of meaning, as a trajectory.
