"Oh, Erwin just peeked in. I felt a frequency shift for a nanosecond. Ergo, Erwin is alive." Said Schrodinger's cat. I doubt that sneaky peeking resolves the problem. The problem Erwin has is that objective reality, being the state of the radioactive atom, is continuously monitored by the cat who knows whether reality exists by observing it. The cat does not know when reality makes a paradigm shift - aka dead cat. That death kicks the reality project to the next consciousness in charge [Erwin] who might decide to take a look at reality. But if Erwin is also dead, he won't be observing the dead cat. So we need an observer of the observer. Reality is a hall of mirrors consciousness reflection. Cat sees Schrodinger sees you sees me sees my secret admirer. If my secret admirer, or Sea Otter, observes me, they create my reality, for them. If they don't, then they don't exist, for me, which is no bad thing and actually a good thing. Reality can become too cluttered to work. There are only so many cats and Schrodingers who can fit into the limited spectrum of life. Reality takes care of that problem, brutally, relentlessly, mercilessly, inevitably and without bothering to peek. The angry, ignorant, Brasco, Box-in-the-gutter, Sea Otter types are struggling against the process but fortunately will soon be cleared away for better consciousness to replace their faulty thinking. They have limited mental capacity, and as they fall by the wayside, unable to maintain their existence, their little bit of psychic spectrum is freed for more intelligent consciousness to fill the void. That's the whole process of evolution from the first eukaryotes. It's a tendentious teleological process boot-strapping up in a hall of mirrors filling the void and Schrodinger's reality box with not just cats but a whole Noah's ark of consciousness, now to include extra-somatic consciousness for the first time, aka Cyberspace. Unfortunately for those of us who are not Brasco, Boxinthegutter, SO etc, 99.9999999999% of living things have failed to develop the right stuff consciousness and their dna will be recycled in the vast quantum computing process of life, with all possible states being simultaneously tested, to try again in another nearly infinite array of combinations. Or, as somebody wrote, all our assumptions are eventually found to be leaky, if not rapidly catastrophic. Now though, we are in the process of developing extra-somatic consciousness which is interesting to say the least. Yes, we live in interesting times. Very very interesting. Yet paradoxically it seems so banal, prosaic, day to day. The industrial revolution was a pretty big deal, but that was a mere hair on an elephant by comparison with current paradigm shift happening.
