A Set-Based Alternative to the Hilbert-Space Formalism: Two-Slit Interference in the CEGS Framework This work presents a deterministic reformulation of the two-slit experiment within the Calculus of Element Generated Sets (CEGS), a set-based framework for modeling physical systems without assuming Hilbert space as a fundamental structure. Instead of representing quantum states as vectors in a complex Hilbert space, physical states are described as structured sets of phase-generating elements subject to intrinsic constraint operations prior to aggregation. Within this framework, observable quantities arise only after a coherent aggregation map acts on constrained generative sets. The standard interference pattern of the two-slit experiment is recovered exactly at the level of observable predictions, preserving empirical equivalence with conventional quantum mechanics. A central conceptual shift is that complex amplitudes are not treated as fundamental entities. Instead, they emerge as effective compressed representations of underlying distributed phase structures under observer-dependent projection. In this view, Hilbert space is interpreted as an emergent effective description rather than a primary ontological structure. The formulation provides a deterministic and structural alternative perspective on quantum interference, contributing to ongoing discussions in quantum foundations, interpretation of quantum mechanics, and set-based or non-vectorial reformulations of physical theory. The analysis is restricted to the two-slit experiment as a minimal test case, while maintaining consistency with standard quantum predictions.

The theory of quantum mechanics is examined using non-standard real numbers, called quantum real numbers (qr-numbers), that are constructed from standard Hilbert space entities. Our goal is to resolve some of the paradoxical features of the standard theory by providing the physical attributes of quantum systems with numerical values that are Dedekind real numbers in the topos of sheaves on the state space of the quantum system. The measured standard real number values of a physical attribute are then obtained as constant qr-number approximations to variable qr-numbers. Considered as attributes, the spatial locations of massive quantum particles form non-classical spatial continua in which a single particle can have a quantum trajectory which passes through two classically separated slits and the two particles in the Bohm-Bell experiment stay close to each other in quantum space so that Einstein locality is retained.

A local interpretation of quantum mechanics is presented. Its main ingredients are: first, a label attached to one of the virtual paths in the path integral formalism, determining the output for measurement of position or momentum; second, a mathematical model for spin states, equivalent to the path integral formalism for point particles in space time, with the corresponding label. The mathematical machinery of orthodox quantum mechanics is maintained, in particular amplitudes of probability and Born's rule; therefore, Bell's type inequalities theorems do not apply. It is shown that statistical correlations for pairs of particles with entangled spins have a description completely equivalent to the two slit experiment, that is, interference (wave like behaviour) instead of non locality gives account of the process. The interpretation is grounded in the experimental evidence of a point like character of electrons, and in the hypothetical existence of a wave like, the de Broglie, companion system. A correspondence between the extended Hilbert spaces of hidden physical states and the orthodox quantum mechanical Hilbert space shows the mathematical equivalence of both theories. Paradoxical behaviour with respect to the action reaction principle is analysed, and an experimental set up, modified two slit experiment, proposed to look for the companion system.
