Unfortunately that link does not display the image . . . just a 401 error.

Another first year linguistics seminar question too. As well as physics 3rd year / 4th year discussion of ‘mixed states’ in general rather than Schrödinger’s cat specifically.

I love ambiguous language things like this. Dog for sale / v loveable / will eat anything / loves children.
