From Dale C. Ferguson

Splitting a wave function is no new trick. Every interference pattern splits
a wave function into many (even an infinite number of) pieces, with the
probability of finding a particle is zero at each minimum in the interference
pattern. Only measurement allows us to know where the particle really is in this
pattern. I suggest that the “electrinos” are merely parts of a split wave
function, and that no measurement can be made of a partial charge. When a
measurement is made, the electron is found to be whole at a certain place and
the other parts of its wave function are immaterial.
