Schrodinger's cat is traditionally presented as a paradox highlighting the tension between quantum superposition and classical observation. Standard interpretations invoke either a fundamental wavefunction collapse, ontological branching of universes, or subjective Bayesian updating. In this paper, we propose a reinterpretation grounded in the Informational Observer Framework, according to which the paradox does not originate from an ontological superposition of macroscopic states, but from an unresolved informational configuration at the observer level. The cat itself is never simultaneously alive and dead; rather, the observer remains in a state of informational compression prior to interaction. Within this framework, wavefunction collapse is reinterpreted as an observer-level informational phase transition, not as a fundamental physical discontinuity. This approach preserves macroscopic realism, avoids ontological inflation, and reframes the measurement problem as an emergent informational phenomenon.Schrodinger's cat is traditionally presented as a paradox highlighting the tension between quantum superposition and classical observation.

Deterministic Stroboscopic Aliasing and the Reinterpretation of Quantum Waveforms

Alper Pektaş

Standard quantum mechanics relies on abstract probability clouds, wavefunctions, and stochastic superposition to describe subatomic behavior. Within the deterministic $n^3$ matrix-mechanical framework, these probabilistic interpretations are dismantled and reinterpreted as deterministic, hydrodynamic aliasing artifacts. By evaluating observer sampling limits against object rotational frequencies ( $K_{obs} < 2 \cdot f_{obj}$ ), we prove that multi-location illusions and wave-particle duality stem from stroboscopic under-sampling rather than inherent physical indeterminacy.Standard quantum mechanics relies on abstract probability clouds, wavefunctions, and stochastic superposition to describe subatomic behavior.
