That the perception of reality we exist in has different truth's than the 'true' reality? That the cat may be dead in the real world, but in my perception of the real world, it could be alive or dead, and only by opening the box to see, I effectively make it dead in my perception of the real world, as well.
re concept vs. real, we only experience concepts, because everything we interact with/know is just a data version of it stored in our brain.
No, schroedingers cat was a caricature of quantum mechanics, a specific interpretation of quantum mechanics, that attempted to communicate the absurdity of what was proposed to be present at the quantum level by reference to objects and relationships at the classical level. So, instead of referring to quantum superposition, it was the superposition of the state of a cat in a box. People have since -used- schroedingers cat in reference to perception, of a great deal of strange things where not even the caricature applies, lol.
