Schrödinger’s Cat Reexamined through the Consciousness Physics Framework: A Triadic Analysis of Quantum Superposition and Observer-Dependent Reality

The Schrödinger’s Cat paradox is one of the most enduring thought experiments in the philosophy of quantum mechanics, raising deep questions about measurement, observer influence, and the nature of superposition. This paper applies the Consciousness Physics Framework (CPF), a contemplative-analytical model grounded in the triadic axes of Observer, Time, and Oscillation, to reinterpret the paradox. Rather than resolving the paradox through a specific ontological stance (e.g., Copenhagen, Many-Worlds, QBism), CPF reframes it as an encounter with the boundaries of perceptual conditioning. The analysis identifies key observer-dependent flips that render the paradox meaningful, and ultimately dissolve its apparent contradiction. CPF's unique contribution lies in its phenomenological emphasis on pre-conceptual awareness and reflexive cognitive structuring, distinguishing it from existing observer-centric models like QBism. The paper grounds speculative claims such as the “Naming Collapse Switch” and “cognitive oscillation” with reference to predictive coding theory and Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception. It also expands comparisons with major quantum interpretations, clarifies CPF’s non-dual metaphysical foundation, and strengthens its relevance to contemporary debates in quantum foundations.
