Popis: Quantum mechanics describes the relation between different measurement contexts in terms of superpositions of the potential measurement outcomes. This relation between measurement contexts makes it impossible to determine context independent realities. Here, I illustrate the problem using three path interferences that implement the three box paradox and show that the representation of the final measurement outcome as a superposition of intermediate paths describes well-defined coherences between seemingly empty paths.
