Reinterprets photon duality and measurement in quantum theory, suggesting improved clarity in concepts.

The aim is to clarify the conceptual issues in wave-particle duality and the quantum measurement problem.
Reexamined wave-particle duality and the quantum measurement problem.
Defined observation as the fixation of ongoing processes into discrete records.
Distinguished between existence (continuous processes) and record (discrete outcomes).
Reinterpreted the wave nature of photons as their mode of propagation.
Defined particle-like properties as aspects of detection and recording processes.
Proposed that wave function collapse is an update of recorded information rather than a physical change.
