'quantum mechanical' expression via 'ontological design' will be considered 'witch-craft' (like holly - wood), unless better sense-making is available for the incredible minds, who are otherwise equipped (and unencumbered) to 'do the work' required, to figure it out... with the support of their 'elders' (akin to indigenous considerations, therein).
