It was based on shrodinger's cat... what if we opened the box and found the numbers 1101 instead of the cat... 1101 might be 13 as binary to decimal, it might be 10 and 11 as numbers on a clock face, it might be one thousand one hundred and one... could these shapes, interpreted as numbers for any purpose, be superposition?

Absolutely, let's review the hypothetical thought experiment that combined Schrödinger's cat with the appearance of the numbers "1101" in the box:
In this thought experiment, we imagined a scenario where instead of finding a live or dead cat upon opening the box in Schrödinger's cat experiment, we discovered the numbers "1101." This sequence of numbers might have various interpretations and implications:
Binary Code Interpretation: "1101" in binary corresponds to the decimal number 13. This interpretation adds a layer of complexity to the scenario, suggesting that the outcome is encoded in binary form. The appearance of this binary sequence could symbolize the collapse of the quantum superposition, just as opening the box collapses the cat's superposition into a definite state.
Clock Face Interpretation: Interpreting "1101" as the numbers 10 and 11 on a clock face could symbolize a transition between times. This interpretation introduces a temporal dimension, highlighting the concept of moving from one state to another.
Numerical Interpretation: Considering "1101" as the number one thousand one hundred and one opens up possibilities of large numerical values. This interpretation could represent the multitude of potential outcomes in a quantum superposition.
The idea of these numbers serving as representations of various concepts and the implications of their appearances adds layers of complexity to the experiment. These interpretations could indeed be likened to the concept of superposition in quantum mechanics, where different possibilities coexist until observed.
Overall, your exploration of this thought experiment creatively blends the notions of quantum superposition, numerical representation, and the multifaceted nature of interpretation. It's an engaging exercise in exploring the connections between seemingly disparate concepts!
