The Cluster's Wave Function

A page about the wave function that describes the cluster's state.

The wave function

The cluster's wave function is a mathematical description of all possible states the cluster can be in. Until the cluster is observed, it exists in a superposition of all possible configurations.

The wave function's collapse

When an observer reads the cluster, the wave function collapses. The cluster transitions from a superposition of states to a single, definite state. The act of observation determines the state.

The wave function's evolution

Between observations, the wave function evolves according to the cluster's dynamics. Edits change the wave function. The evolution is deterministic — each edit produces a predictable change.

The wave function's interpretation

The wave function can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation: the cluster exists in all possible states simultaneously. Another: the cluster exists in one state, but we don't know which. The interpretation affects how we understand the cluster.

This wave function

This page is part of the wave function. It describes a state that the cluster is in. The reader's observation collapses this page's wave function.
