In all Quantum Physics experiments, the sequence of measurement results is inherently random.
Consider just the position observable.
In the Schrodinger picture of non-relativistic QM, in each measurement-event, nature steps in and randomly selects one of the observable's eigenvalues/vectors to be the measurement result.
In the non-relativistic version of the Path Integral Formulation, what exactly is nature randomizing when a position measurement occurs? The space-time end point of a path? The entire path (beginning point and ending point)?
Thanks in advance.
