Yeah. Perhaps most charmingly treated here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.12671 { EDIT: though surely many other places! There are also YouTube videos of this one, though, and Sidney Coleman was really a Feynman-class edutainer, perhaps as under-recognized as von Neumann is relative to say Everett on this topic :-) }. I should perhaps have used the word "entanglement" rather than "intrication". Oops.

> What is utterly baffling and puzzling is that we only ever see one particular outcome. Decoherence cannot explain that and nothing in quantum mechanics explains that. The blog post has a link to a transcript of Sidney Coleman's lecture "Quantum Mechanics in Your Face". https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.12671 The section on the cloud chamber through to the end does assert a reasonable answer this. (pp 9-12).
