Agreed. But in so far as the standard experiment goes, if the slits lead
to separate compartments, does 'the wave' , to a greater extent than if
there is only one compartment, only enter one?

If you can somehow separate off the two paths at the slit exits, then
there is no way possible for the matter-wave to interact and you have
reduced the experiment to, again, a single slit. You will register the
electron in one or the other chamber.

I don't see that there would be a difficulty in having each slit lead to a
separate chamber. The idea is that there would be no way possible for the
matter-wave to interact. But I'm wondering if only one compartment would
register anything?

You don't seem to definitely imply that that test has been done?

Greysky:
*If you put the electron emitter on a movable track such that it moves
parallel to the slit material, you could control how successful the
electron will be in hitting the detector at the target by moving the
electron emitter along the track.. At some point directly in line with the
slit material, the probability that an electron will pass through the open
slit to be detected at the target is 100%, while at some other point along
the track the probability of passing through the slit decreases to 0%. *

This seems to imply that there is no partial registration- -detection.
