Persistence and nonpersistence as complementary models of identical quantum particles

Classical mechanics is based on the notion that matter consists of persistent particles that can be reidentified (or tracked) across time. However, the mathematical symmetrization procedures (due to Dirac (1926 Proc. R. Soc. A 112 661) and Heisenberg (1926 Z. Phys. 38 411) and Feynman (1965 Quantum...
