Eliezer: If instead we’d started out with a big light-gray square—meaning that both particles had amplitude-factors widely spread—then the second law of thermodynamics would prohibit the combined system from developing into a tight dark-gray diagonal line.
Nick: What would the result look like, then? Amplitude would still flow towards configurations where the thingies are at the same horizontal position.
This is confusing me too. Please can anyone clarify?
