Why the Double-Slit Experiment Does Not Ask "How": A Configurational Comparison of Quantum Interpretations

This article examines the double-slit experiment from a configurational perspective and compares it with the standard quantum-mechanical, Bohmian, and Many-Worlds interpretations. Rather than focusing on microscopic trajectories or wavefunction collapse, the work argues that the central question posed by the experiment is not “how” individual particles behave, but “why” a stable interference pattern emerges with overwhelming statistical certainty. By framing the experiment in terms of constrained configuration spaces and typicality, the article shows that interference can be understood as an inevitable macroscopic outcome, not a mysterious dynamical process.
