In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse, also called reduction of the state vector, occurs when a wave function—initially in a superposition of several...

wave function (or wavefunction) is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system. The most common symbols for a wave function...

Model synthesis a.k.a. wave function collapse or 'wfc' are names for a family of constraint-solving algorithms commonly used in procedural generation,...
