    "abstract": "Quantum mechanics states that a particle emitted at point (x_1,t_1) and\ndetected at point (x_2,t_2) does not travel along a definite path between the\ntwo points. This conclusion arises essentially from the analysis of the\ntwo-slit experiment, which implicitly assumes (as in the demonstration of the\nEPR paradox) that a property we will call Independence Property holds. This\npaper shows that this assumption is not indispensable. Abandoning the\nassumption allows to develop an ontology where particle motion is described by\nclassical paths and quantum phenomena are interpreted as a manifestation of a\ncontingent law, i.e., of a law deriving from the boundary conditions of the\nuniverse, such as the second law of thermodynamics. The paper also proposes an\nequation having a typical quantum-like structure to represent the contingent\nlaws of the universe.",
