  The Feynman path integral does not allow a "one real path" interpretation,
because amplitudes contribute to probabilities in a non-separable manner. The
opposite extreme, "all paths happen", is not a useful or informative account.
In this paper it is shown that an intermediate parsing of the path integral,
into realistic non-interfering possibilities, is always available. Each
realistic possibility formally corresponds to numerous particle paths, but is
arguably best interpreted as a spacetime-valued field. Notably, one actual
field history can always be said to occur, although it will generally not have
an extremized action. The most obvious concerns with this approach are
addressed, indicating necessary follow-up research. But without obvious
showstoppers, it seems plausible that the path integral might be reinterpreted
to explain quantum phenomena in terms of Lorentz covariant field histories.
