On the simultaneous pumping and napping of a cat in a cardboard box

Abstract

We report a cat, enclosed in a kraft box on Monad, that remains pumped and napping at the same time for as long as nobody opens the chart. Attempts to look reliably collapse the cat into one state, and the observer into a mood. The creator fee of every trade is paid 100% to the holders, in MON, whether or not anyone is watching. We recommend keeping the box closed. It's comfy in there.

§2 Theory: the wavefunction of a memecoin

Unobserved, $SCHRO is not at one price. It is spread over two outcomes at once, a pumped peak and a napping peak, both oscillating with every new Monad block. Fig. 2 plots that state live. Hover to probe it, or press Measure to collapse it.

P(pumped) = 0.50 · P(napping) = 0.50

§3 The experiment: go on, open the box

Right now the cat is pumped and napping at once. Pressing Observe forces the universe to pick one. The lid then closes and the system returns to superposition. Observations are recorded in this browser, by hand.

The box is closed. The cat is both. Everyone is happy.

§4 Lab notebook: hover to collapse

Some words on these pages are still in superposition. Hover (or tap) the blurry ones to make them pick a state.

The thought experiment

In 1935, physicist Erwin Schrödinger described a cat in a sealed box to show how strange quantum superposition looks if you scale it up to everyday things. Nobody ever put a real cat in a box. It was only a thought experiment.

The box

Kraft cardboard, THIS SIDE UP, one atom stamp. Inside: one cat, one blanket, and a tiny screen showing the chart, face down. The cat has never turned it over. It knows better.

p. 003classified

Daily routine

Naps 16 hours a day, in two states at once. Wakes up only for a new holder, a treat, or both. When the timeline panics it just says "you looked, didn't you".

The plan

Stay in the box. Keep the chart closed. Pay 100% of the creator fees to the holders, in MON. Collapse into exactly one state: comfy.

§5 Historical context: ninety years in a box

  1. The EPR paper

    Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen publish a paper arguing quantum mechanics is incomplete. Schrödinger reads it closely.

  2. Letters with Einstein

    Einstein and Schrödinger trade letters about how odd superposition looks for everyday objects. Einstein's example is a keg of gunpowder.

  3. The cat appears

    Schrödinger's paper in Naturwissenschaften describes a cat in a sealed box. Purely a thought experiment, meant to show the absurdity.

  4. Many worlds

    Hugh Everett proposes that every outcome happens, each in its own branch. Somewhere, you sold the top.

  5. Schro moves to Monad

    The cat picks a faster chain: a block every ~0.4 s. Still in the box. Still both. Now paying holders.

§6 Key findings

  1. Superposition

    In quantum mechanics, a system can be described as a mix of states until it's measured. Schro took that very personally.

  2. Since 1935

    Schrödinger's cat first appeared in a 1935 paper[1]. It's been in the box ever since.

  3. Measurement

    Measuring a quantum system gives one definite outcome. Opening the chart does the same to your mood.

  4. One box

    Kraft cardboard. This side up. The comfiest place on Monad.

  5. 100% of fees

    Every creator fee goes to the holders, in MON. In every universe.

  6. Zero cats harmed

    It was always a thought experiment. Schro is a fan of naps, treats and holders.

§7 Peer review: three reviewers, one box

Reviewer 1Accept

A clear, well-supported result. The authors kept the box closed for the entire study, which I find both rigorous and relatable. Minor: please define "comfy".

Authors: Comfy (adj.): the state of a cat in a box with a blanket. Added to the glossary.

Reviewer 2Reject

I opened the chart to check the claims. The cat is now asleep. I consider this a failure to replicate.

Authors: You looked, so it picked a state. Napping is a valid result. Please close the chart and try again in another universe.

Reviewer 3Both

I recommend accept and reject simultaneously, pending observation. I will not be observing. Strong paper.

Authors: Thank you. This is the most accurate review we have received.

Editor's decision: accepted, on the condition that nobody checks.

App. A Collapse: catch the cat, both of it

The cat shows up in two boxes at once. Tap either one before it fades to collapse it there: +1, or +2 if you're quick. Red candles hide in some boxes: don't tap those. A cat that fades costs a life.

●●●0

Collapse

Three lives. Two boxes per cat, pick either one. It gets faster every 10 cats.

App. B Method: get in the box in a minute

  1. Get MON

    Any wallet on Monad works (MetaMask, Phantom, Backpack, Rabby…). Fund it with MON.

  2. Open nad.fun

    Use the button on this page, or paste the CA on nad.fun. Check the address.

  3. Buy $SCHRO

    Pick an amount, confirm. Then close the lid.

  4. Don't look

    Every trade pays MON to holders. Claim it anytime on your nad.fun profile.

App. C Questions from the litter

Is the cat okay?

Always. The worst outcome is a nap. The original was a thought experiment: no cat was ever put in a box, and Schro is very comfy in this one.

How do holders get paid?

Every $SCHRO trade on nad.fun pays a 1% creator fee. 100% of it goes to the holders' dividend vault, in MON. Claim it from your nad.fun profile whenever you like.

Is there a team cut of the fees?

No. All of the creator fee goes to holders. Table 1 counts it live from nad.fun's own numbers.

Where's the contract address?

At the top of this page once the coin is live (it says "coming soon" until then), and on our X. Always check the address, and never trust a DM.

Why shouldn't I look at the chart?

Because then it has to pick a state. Up or down, the cat's fine either way. Your mood, less so.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a cat in a box. Memecoins are risky: only use what you can afford to lose.

§8 Conclusion

Pumped. Napping.
Comfy either way.

Conflict of interest

$SCHRO is a memecoin with no promises, no roadmap and no financial advice. The corresponding author is a cat in a box. Only buy what you can lose. Schrödinger's cat (1935) was a thought experiment; no cats were ever boxed. The notebook is fiction, except p. 001.
