Long-form interlinear translations are available online, that is ones not having to do with biblical or scriptural texts. Fiction mostly, but there is some non-fiction to be found. The interlinear examples, many published for online or physical book reading, show words/phrases aligned with the source's text. This is a first step toward getting closer and closer to contextual meaning, e.g., based on historical understanding of language items, hermeneutics, etymology of a word, ngram (frequency of word usage over time), etc.

Which of the current tools included in the set of experiments shows promise for use in creating long-form interlinear translations (of course, here we refer to the softened understanding of interlinear here termed inter-linea). For discussion purposes, see https://jkm.free.nf/inter-linea/w4word.html.

A product of the above word/phrase approach based on character count limitation per line is below, without entirely correct alignment and no glossing, but serviceable I believe. If so, perhaps a more rigorous(?) translation service might be employed, something like DeepL? Then the word/phrase approach (versus others on the same site) might function as a prototype for long-form translations . . . to publish?

In essence, Bohr and Heisenberg argued that science had finally caught up with the conceptual problems involved in the description of reality that philosophers had been warning of for centuries. Bohr is quoted as saying: "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature." This vaguely positivist statement was echoed by Heisenberg:. "[W]e have to remember that what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning." 

Their broadly anti-realist "Copenhagen interpretation" "denying" that the wave function represents the real physical state of a quantum system quickly became the dominant way of thinking about quantum mechanics. More recent variations of such anti-realist interpretations suggest that the wave function is simply a way of "coding" our experience, or our subjective beliefs derived from our experience of the physics, allowing us to use what we've learned in the past to predict the future.

An enhancement to this display might be to show the target before the source, where one wanted to create an inter-linea for more than personal use. And one of the two might be in a smaller font or colored in some way to reduce distraction/dependence on one rather than the other language.

Word-for-word translation display

Here is an example of a word-for-word translation display. It is the (maligned) classic; it ignores context and other text attributes (e.g., correct word order in the target) in revealing the literal meaning of words, sometimes phrases. 

The reader may have to work hard at making sense of the target language, let alone how the source conveys its meaning to a source language speaker. However, this display has the advantage of almost precise mapping of the target to the source.

And the target language in this example is __________?

Sample paragraph-by-paragraph display

Here's an example of a paragraph-by-paragraph translation from English to German.

*What they found in our own branch of the evolutionary tree came as a shock—the complete opposite of a pattern found in other vertebrates. For Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and other vertebrate groups, as the number of species in a group went up, competition increased, and the rate of forming new species slowed down. In Homo, as the number of species went up, competition increased, and the rate of forming new species got even faster. The results, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, challenge previously held beliefs about the history of our species, and raise new questions about how competition formed us into the species we are today.*

Was sie in unserem eigenen Zweig des evolutionären Stammbaums fanden, kam als Schock – das komplette Gegenteil eines Musters, das bei anderen Wirbeltieren gefunden wurde. Bei Australopithecus, Paranthropus und anderen Wirbeltiergruppen stieg mit der Zunahme der Artenzahl in einer Gruppe die Konkurrenz, und die Rate der Bildung neuer Arten verlangsamte sich. Bei Homo hingegen stieg mit der Zunahme der Artenzahl die Konkurrenz, und die Rate der Bildung neuer Arten wurde sogar noch schneller. Die Ergebnisse, die in der Fachzeitschrift Nature Ecology & Evolution veröffentlicht wurden, stellen bisherige Überzeugungen über die Geschichte unserer Spezies in Frage und werfen neue Fragen darüber auf, wie Konkurrenz uns zu der Spezies geformt hat, die wir heute sind.

*For the study, van Holstein gathered location and carbon dating information for fossils from 17 hominin species, then used that data to model when a species originated, how long it existed for, and when it disappeared. Next, she ran a mathematical model to calculate and compare how competition—that is, having more than one species in the same location at the same time competing for the same resources—affected speciation and extinction of the three hominin subgroups.*

Für die Studie sammelte van Holstein Standort- und Kohlenstoffdatierungsinformationen für Fossilien von 17 Hominidenarten und verwendete diese Daten dann, um zu modellieren, wann eine Art entstand, wie lange sie existierte und wann sie verschwand. Anschließend führte sie ein mathematisches Modell durch, um zu berechnen und zu vergleichen, wie sich Konkurrenz – das heißt, mehr als eine Art zur gleichen Zeit am selben Ort, die um die gleichen Ressourcen konkurriert – auf die Artbildung und das Aussterben der drei Hominidenuntergruppen auswirkte.

Additional notes:
1. The scientific terms "Australopithecus," "Paranthropus," and "Homo" are kept in their original Latin forms, as these are universally used scientific names.
2. "Hominin" is translated as "Hominiden" in German, which is the accepted scientific term.
3. "Nature Ecology & Evolution" is kept in English as it's the name of the journal.
4. "van Holstein" is kept as is, assuming it's a proper name.
5. The German translation maintains the scientific tone and complexity of the original text, suitable for an educated German-speaking audience.

Additional notes:
1. The term "hominin" is translated as "homínido" in Spanish, which is the accepted scientific term.
2. "Van Holstein" is kept as is, as it's likely a proper name.
3. "Australopithecus," "Paranthropus," and "Homo" are maintained in their original Latin forms, as these are universally used scientific names.
4. The phrase "huge-headed" is translated as "de cabeza enorme" to maintain the colloquial tone while accurately describing the characteristic.

### Additional Comments
The context of the original English text deals with the evolutionary history and dynamics of species formation, particularly in hominids and related groups. The translation retains this scientific tone and terminology in Russian, while staying true to the original structure.
