'Wave functions', string theory, etc., is just an If-Then-Else loop. A particle keeps vibrating, representing endless possible outcomes, until variable 'x' changes indicating the act of observing and then the loop reaches a conclusion and the particle assumes the state represented by the condition it's in when observed. Endless possibilities until the particle is observed, loop is exited, and a final determination is made.
