I believe my Y-shaped model directly relates to "the collapse of the waveform".
With Einstein's warping of space around mass, it creates what I euphemistically call a "pothole". However, I envision this warp as being more like a funnel which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It may even be "cone" shaped (conical). The funnel shape, though, appeals more to me. Viewed from the side, it would look like a "Y".
Because of galaxy "lensing", photons are obviously affected by warping of space and will curve through a warp.
Now, the recent findings regarding two lasers "pointed" at each other producing an electron and a positron implies interaction of the photons. Perhaps "collide" was not a good term. But most experiments with light hardly compare with the intensity of lasers. The likelihood of a "head-on collision" without a laser is virtually nil. And even with a laser, it didn't sound like they created a fountain of electrons and positrons. So, even in the experiment, the critical interaction was extremely rare. Thus, the angle must need to be "perfect" as well as the sychronicity of frequency.
In any event, some rare interaction caused the production of 2 particles of matter of opposing polarity. Should the particles collide afterwards, 2 photons would be produced. This tells me that the photon configuration is preferred. It also would suggest that the splitting of photons might be common with the lasers pointed at each other. However, few turn into particles because, after a split, the pieces quickly line up again with a partner piece - positives linking with negatives. It is only when 2 of the same polarity meet and then spin off together does a particle appear. And as one pair spins off, it leaves a pair of the opposite polarity alone. Unable to find a partner, these two also spin off.
Of course, the interaction might be uglier. At the point of collision between the light beams, many photos might be split with millions of loose "postons" and "negtons' which furiously recombine as photons. But the are changing partners. "Bill" and "Mary" may have been one photon pair while "Jim" and "Alice" were another. After the splits, "Bill" may end up with "Alice" and "Jim" end up with "Agnes" and "Mary" may go off with "Juan". However, the sensitivity of our instruments do not allow us to see this. All we see are photons, photons, photons. And every once in a while, we see "Jim" and "Bill" exit the "dance" together (a positron), and "Mary" and "Alice" might leave together, too (an electron).
To me, either the angular momentum is key, and circumstances get photons to spin in tight circles creating particles. Or photons are complex (multiple features) which, when broken up, have differing behavior. As much as I hate new features, the latter is more appealing.
Somehow, going from photon to particle sends the particle "down the drain" of the Y-shaped "pothole" in space. If the spin a particle is accentuated, then it is more likely to collapse. Thus, if a photon has dual aspects with opposite spins (+ & -) and it "collides" with another photon, then if the photons split and the pieces reconfigure in the normal (preferred) configuration, the photons go their merry way.
However, when recongealing after a collision, the two "+" pieces get stuck together and the two "-" pieces get paired, suddenly the angular momentum is accentuated and this "spin" results in the warping of space creating the collapse and the particle.
