Completion Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics
In the completion interpretation (due to Jonathan Gorard), a branching observer perceives a branching universe by corralling branches together — mathematically equivalating two branches to maintain the fiction that definite things happen — and causal invariance guarantees these branches will eventually merge so the observer's forced completions remain consistent; destructive interference occurs when a photon's paths land at opposite ends of branchial space so the observer cannot knit them together into a single photon.

Stephen WolframEvidence Quote
“the reason that you're getting destructive interference is that you as an observer simply can't knit it together, to say there really is a photon here, it's like the photon has been just smashed into pieces that are scattered all over branchial space.”
