Schrödinger's Cat
The Mystery: How can a macroscopic object be in a superposition of states? What constitutes a measurement?
Timothian Model's Short Answer...
The cat is always in a definite state. "Measuring", or opening the box to observe, is simply an interaction with a subset of the chunk medium.
Details
Eliminates the paradox through chunk mechanics:
No superposition of macroscopic states; the cat is always in a definite state.
"Measurement" is simply an interaction with the chunk medium.
The apparent probabilistic nature emerges from complex chunk interactions.
Resolves the paradox without invoking observer-dependent reality or multiple worlds.
Provides a deterministic, mechanistic explanation for quantum measurement.
