[Rephrased] Can we describe, via the double-slit experiment, when a photon's wave information is known, its local information is conserved on a 5th axis of freedom in space-time, giving us a glimpse of a classical view of this particular phenomenon?

The model for a moving particle is a wave packet. Then, why the eigenfunctions for a quantum particle in a box are standing waves instead of wave packets? I know superposition, but often physicists refers to the particle being in a single eigenstate
