SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the Schrödinger equation for a particle in a one-dimensional box with zero potential, highlighting the quantization of energy levels. It concludes that the relationship between the number of boxes containing particles at specific energy levels is arbitrary if the boxes are independent of each other. The inquiry into whether this relationship is governed by a physical law remains unanswered, emphasizing the complexity of quantum mechanics.
