Stephen: Thank you very much.

Would you say the swapping properties of the degrees of freedom could be viewed as the fundamental "cause" of the differences between the situations, or merely one property, among others, that shows up differently in the different situations?

That is, would you say the swapping properties is the essense of "illusion of seperate particles" vs "illusion of one particle with multiple degrees of freedom"?
