From my understanding, average trajectories based on weak "measurements", obey the 'no-crossing rule'. These average trajectories strongly resemble the single-photon trajectories predicted by Bohmian mechanics:
For instance compare these average trajectories:

with Bohmian ones:
Since the trajectories were formed by connecting 'average' velocity vectors, does it then imply that some of actual individual trajectories (within any realist pilot wave model-Bohmian or otherwise) can cross the center line? I'm asking because in some pilot-wave analogs of QM (Couder-type walking droplet experiments), crossing over does occur. I'm guessing I messed this up, and in fact, crossing over at individual trajectory level is fully compatible with no-crossing over at the average level?
