Our propositions are also made explicit on the basis of quantum mechanics with proper quantitative analysis to support the correctness of the physical mechanisms proposed herein, which obey the wave-particle duality. Apart from that, the microscopic propositions constructed herein can be treated as guidelines in setting up the future experiments such that one can unambiguously support or oppose this strange notion—a quantum particle behaves differently depending upon the number of slit, and where we place the detector such that the particle can sense the detector and the number of slit, before physically interacting with them.
