"It was a silly business, sir. Shut a cat in a box. Control whether or not
he is killed by decay of an isotope with a half life of one hour. At the end of

cat was neither alive nor dead until somebody opened the box; it existed instead
as a cloud of probabilities." Jane Libby shrugged, producing amazing dynamic
curves.
"Blert?"
"Did anyone think to ask the cat?"
"Blasphemy," said Deety. "Richard, this is 'Science,' German philosopher
style. You are not supposed to resort to anything so crass. Anyhow Pixel got the
