This piece took me an embarrassingly long time to name. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look and what I wanted it to represent, but the name (unbelievably) eluded me for days.

Schrödinger's cat is a famous 1935 thought experiment by physicist Erwin Schrödinger to show how weird quantum mechanics gets when scaled up: imagine a cat sealed in a box with a radioactive atom that has a 50/50 chance of decaying in an hour—if it does, it triggers poison and kills the cat; if not, kitty lives. Until you open the box and look, quantum rules say the atom (and thus the cat) exists in "superposition"—both decayed/not and dead/alive at once—highlighting the absurdity of applying tiny-particle weirdness to everyday objects like cats, questioning when/why reality "collapses" to one outcome upon observation.

CT (CAT) brain scans, short for computerized tomography, are quick medical X-ray tests that spin around your head to create detailed slice-by-slice pictures of the brain, skull, blood vessels, and tissues, spotting issues like tumours, strokes, bleeds, swelling, or fractures way better than plain X-rays. The machine fires low-dose X-rays from all angles while a computer stitches them into 3D views—often with dye contrast to highlight vessels—taking just 5-10 minutes, making it a go-to for emergencies like head trauma or headaches. Invented in 1971 by Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack (Nobel winners), they revolutionized diagnosis by revealing hidden brain damage without surgery.

I can confirm from first-hand experience that a cat scan is considerably more pleasant than an MRI. Thank you Godfrey & Allan.

And yes, I do realise that the scan itself becomes an ‘observer’ meaning that the collapse would occur into one state or the other, but let’s not get too hung up on scientific accuracy and just enjoy this visual metaphor. Feat. The death motifs from piece number 92.
