I haven’t thought about it very deeply, Since I thing being an everettian is the way to go

I might be wrong, but I think thats the key point of our disagreement. Repeting experiments so that we can reconstruct known asymptotic stated may be inherently frequentists. While imagining paths from the particles point of view sounds very Bayesian to me.

Well I’m not sure about that, I try to keep my statements about QM independent of interpretation If I had to refine I would say: ‘there is no meaningful way to say a fundamental particle is in the state (x,p).’ Implying that it does not follow any trajectory

I am sure that you're familiar with the positive electron. Looking at fig1 of the Discovery paper I may be biased but that looks a while lot like a trajectory. And they understood their own magnets so well that they even measured the momentum of itpic.twitter.com/PSiWNHaPcs

You (and the cloud chamber, the room, the planet, etc.) get entangled with the particle. Once it interacts with the particles in the cloud chamber, it entangles with them (and you), which localizes the particle in some location given some environmental eigenstate.

Precisely, an electron in a cloud chamber does not retain quantum coherence

Well it’s both really, but yes it’s just an apparatus

Yes, if you'd like to go deeper look up the Von Neumann measurement process, or measurement theory in general
