A '''double-slit logic experiment''' is the use of [[probability]] to determine of there is an underlying logical basis for the surprising effect observed in the [[double-slit experiment]] in [[physics]].

+

The logical essence of the double-slit experiment is to have two levels of uncertainty in sequence. First, there is uncertainty about which of the two slits a "particle" passes through, and then there is uncertainty about where it lands on the distant screen. Resolving the uncertainty at the first level through observation then effects the outcome at the second level.

+

A logic or thought experiment could model this phenonemon by setting up a [[random variable]] at the first level, and then another random variable at the second level that is a function of the first random variable.
