i would be remiss if i didn't point out that i don't quite understand your use of the reference to the double-slit experiment.
in context it feels like you're just implying a kind of A/B testing, or just some kind of judgment system on two unique variables. but now that i think about it, i think that while the double-slit experiment observes one ~beam~ of light to see if it behaves in different ways, your version of it would be observing 2 completely distinct ~beams~ of light to compare how they behave with each other, rather than doing a kind of internal comparison per beam.
i hope that the reason why i felt like i needed to address this doesn't just seem pedantic. i actually liked all of the writing, and don't really have much of a problem with the double-slit thing- i just know that if someone felt that i had used it possibly not as well as i had hoped, i'd want them to tell me. cause hey , they might be wrong and i get to rub it in their face. :D
