Resolving Schrödinger's Cat Paradox via Fractal Uncertainty Theory
Abstract
We present a resolution to Schrödinger's famous cat paradox using the Fractal Uncertainty Theory (FUT), a novel mathematical framework that redefines theconcepts of "0" and "1" as observer-dependent states relative to a "view-vector"(Schau-Vektor). By introducing the concept of uncertainty-distance d(vA , vB ) between view-vectors operating at different scales, we demonstrate that the apparentparadox of macroscopic superposition arises from the incorrect assumption of scale-independent quantum states.We show that the atomic and macroscopic systemsare fundamentally decoupled (K(vatom , vcat ) ≈ 0), eliminating the paradox withoutinvoking consciousness, many-worlds, or hidden variables. Our approach predicts atestable transition from quantum to classical behavior based solely on object size,independent of environmental decoherence.
