[Philip Benjamin] Wave equation? Of what? Wavy Particles? Or Wave-like Particles? Wavy particles is a paradox, a puzzle, a mystic mystery!! That is how a purely scientific theory such as Quantum Mechanics became so confounded with absurdities and speculations. Puzzle in, puzzle out!! There are and never can be wavicles, only particles that behave AS IF in wave forms. An AS IF Logic is all that is needed, not Both & Fallacy. The Schrodinger Cat was introduced only to show the absurdity of taking probability statistics seriously. Probabilities are not all possibilities. Some of these pioneers of QM were occultists, alcoholics and some other serious addictions. That is how the sorcerer-psychiatrist Carl Jung joined them. Worldviews determine scientific interpretations. Interpretations are not theories. CopenPagan Interpretation (a malaprop) is a pagan world-view, not scientific theory. That is how Albert Einstein strongly disagreed with Niels Bohr.

Only the latter leads to the paradox of a cat which is Alive and Dead simultaneously. AG Because the Wave equation in this setting leads to a pure state dead+alive, and twe know that such pure state leads to different prediction than any possible corresponding mixed states. (Assuming the SWE). That's true even if the box is open, but in that case, the pure state will be lifted to the observer of the cat, who will become itself in a pure state of seeing the cat dead and the cat alive, in parallel histories. In this case, the indeterminacy is explained entirely by the same indeterminacy occurring in, amoeba self-division, or in the infinite multiplication of all relative universal number state in arithmetic.
