Probably not, honestly. A lot of quantum mechanics is really too unintuitive to make sense of without math. In any case, I don't want to mislead you into thinking that I'm enough of an expert to impart a serious understanding of quantum mechanics; I can clear up some basic misconceptions, but if you want to learn quantum mechanics, you should try to learn it from someone who's actually familiar with and uses the equations.
OK, thanx! but can you answer this? Are amplitude configurations the boundries in my analogy?
No, I can't answer that. I know next to nothing about branes, beyond the fact that they're entities posited in string theory which may or may not exist, so if I try to determine what they relate to in any analogy I'd be speculating in ignorance.
Am I the only one who really wants to make a joke about zombies here?
I'd like to hear it! Even if I am the brunt of the joke.
Well, I didn't actually bother to construct a joke at the time, but it would have been something on the order of:
"What does a zombie string-theoretician consider the fundamental non-perturbative features of string theory to be?"
"BRANES!"
