For example, it is possible to create pairs of photons with correlated polarization states, such that, while neither photon is in a definite state of polarization prior to measurement, they must be discovered to be in opposite polarization states when a measurement takes place, no matter how far apart they are when the measurements occur.
Because of Corollary V, when Newton wishes to attribute a definite state of motion to the center of mass of the solar system in Book III, he must introduce the hypothesis that "The center of the system of the world is at rest".
The model posits so called "objective collapses" which involve the quantum system moving from a superposition of multiple possible states to a single definite state, but without the intervention of an observer or measurement as in most quantum mechanical models.
In our construction |Ψ›OBJECT is the quantum state of an object in a definite state and position.
The key is that a measurement "projects" a particle into a definite state -- just as the measurement of a photon collapses it into either vertical or horizontal polarization.
According to Bohr and his supporters it is the act of observing a particle that "forces" it into a definite state.
According to the definition of a world we have adopted, in each world the cat is in a definite state: either alive or dead.
When we refer to the "definite classically described state" of, say, a cat, it means that the position and the state (alive, dead, smiling, etc). of the cat is maximally specified according to our ability to distinguish between the alternatives, and that this specification corresponds to a classical picture, e.g., no superpositions of dead and alive cats are allowed in a single world.
9 00 P.M. E.T.: Polls have just closed in another big batch of states, including one definite swing state — Colorado — and a couple of marginal ones, Michigan and Wisconsin.
If one adopts the position recommended in the answers to the Aristocles passage's first two questions, one will not hold any definite beliefs, about any object or state of affairs, to the effect that the object or state of affairs really is good, or valuable, or worth seeking or, on the other hand, bad or to be avoided.
Definite answers as to the disordered state of PNT and NTAIL domains in the context of the full-length N and P proteins require however additional experimental work that will be the focus of future studies.
