Particles simultaneously try all possible phase-space trajectories. Trajectories go directly (direct-channel) or indirectly (cross-channel) from one system energy level to another. The probability that the system reaches an energy level is the sum {sum over paths} {sum over histories} of renormalized path probabilities for direct-channel and cross-channel paths to that energy level.
