You turned into a cat! A SMALL cat! You violated…
““You turned into a cat! A SMALL cat! You violated Conservation of Energy! That's not just an arbitrary rule, it's implied by the form of the quantum Hamiltonian! Rejecting it destroys unitarity and then you get FTL signalling! And cats are COMPLICATED! A human mind can't just visualise a whole cat's anatomy and, and all the cat biochemistry, and what about the neurology? How can you go on thinking using a cat-sized brain?””
About This Quote
This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance. It is one reading of the quote, not the author's own explanation.
Transforming a human mind into a cat‑sized brain violates physics, making coherent thought impossible and breaking quantum unitarity.
In simple terms: Turning a human brain into a cat brain breaks physics and logic.
