(15.2KB, 474x355) Hypothetically speaking, if you were to have a large box and put inside it a catgirl such that the box contains within it a device that creates the superposition of a quantum particle with two equally probable outcomes and furthermore these outcomes directly ensured the survival or demise of the aforementioned catgirl, then the Copenhagen interpretation implies that once the superposition has begun and until the state is observed, the catgirl is both dead and alive. A similar question, however, emerges from this thought experiment: if I were to download an image of a catgirl with intent to use it as a stimulatory aid, but simultaneously you were to show me an image of the same catgirl deceased, would the catgirl be alive or dead? Understandably, this hypothetical scenario has profound ramifications with regards to online file-sharing forums and their users.
The prevailing theories are that catgirls, as shared concepts, are inherently in an eternal superposition and multiple states are therefore valid, or that a catgirl is not a singular entity and therefore the thought experiment involves multiple catgirls. Naturally these theories both have their advantages and criticisms, which zero or more Erisians claim is evidence of the superposition of all theory, and ultimately Truth [sic] itself.
