What does "realized" mean? made real? Being real is a

real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”

The latter comment is ridiculous. Aren't protons, neutrons
and electrons real?
Ask Bohr. You never answer my questions; why should I answer
yours.

What questions haven't I answered??? AG

I explained what "realized" means by giving an example; S's cat, alive
and dead simultaneously.
That's a representation in the theory. Every measurement that
"realizes" its state finds it to be one or the other. So what's the
operational significance of "being realized"? Schroedinger's whole
point was that an alive and dead cat is never /realized/.

Also, I said I would get back to you about spin superpositions when I
have time to research the issue. Other than those items, I honestly
have no idea what you're complaining about. Try asking me again. AG
