Schrödinger got it wrong…

Schrödinger's Cat, Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment intended to explain the problem of measurement in quantum physics, is a very poor example.

Schrödinger got it wrong… The cat, like any entity conscious of its environment, is an observer. The experiment would have been valid if it had involved a non-conscious (and therefore non-observing) entity, such as a bacterium or a virus.

Our universe is not a universe of matter, but a universe of simulated matter, a rendering of code. Quantum physics would not exist in a universe of matter. Quantum physics describes the behavior of simulated matter at the limits of the simulation's resolution. In our universe of information, quantum physics describes in particular what happens in the infinitely small. Where, more often than not, there is no observer. And therefore just a calculation of interaction probabilities. No rendering if there is no interaction.

Any conscious entity is an observer or a remote observer (through a measuring instrument).

The wave-particle duality is much easier to understand when we realize that wave propagation is what is calculated in the simulation. And that the particle is what is rendered if there is observation/interaction.

The iconic experiment in quantum physics was fundamentally flawed. No wonder our physicists went round in circles a bit after that...
