Schrodinger's cat thought experiment was not an endorsement of semi-existince

The point is that one interpretation of quantum mechanics makes a cat (in the thought experiment) both alive and dead, but this is absurd, so this interpretation must be wrong

The "Copenhagen interpretation"

Coined by Werner Heisenberg for a interpretations of quantum physics that generally conclude that QP is inherently indeterministic.

There are a few versions of it and no clear historical agreement between them.

It is the only interpretation of Schrodinger's Cat that came to the conclusion of a mid or semi-state of existence of the cat inside the box.

(As opposed to a thought experiment that focused specifically on Superpositions)
