system. The modified wave function is... unpredictable before the impression... has entered our consciousness it is the entering of an impression into our consciousness which...modifies our appraisal...for different impressions which we expect to receive in the future. It is at this point that the consciousness enters the theory unavoidably and unalterably.

The consciousness is defined as "that element outside the physical universe that collapses the qwiff, producing the observed result from its range of possible situations".5
A pop is a sudden, discontinuous change brought on by observer's act of observation. This change is sudden and noncausal. It cannot be predicted even by quantum mechanics. Therefore it is outside the ability of Quantum Physics to predict the capricious behaviour of nature.
It is the thought that creates the qwiff. Qwiffs obey the law of cause and effect. A mathematical description has been constructed to explain qwiffs Schrodinger's equation was invented to give us that description.
It is the qwiffs, which represent these objects, that change in a continuous, flowing and causal manner. Quantum mechanics predicts with certainty the behaviour of qwiffs. Qwiffs predict with uncertainty the behaviour of matter. Schrodinger also discussed the entanglement and multiplication element in qwiff in words:
By the interaction the two representatives (or qwiffs) have become entangled. To disentangle them we must gather further information...although we know as much as anybody could possible know about all that happened."
The laws of quantum mechanics are not so much statements of our physical reality, as of our ability to acquire information about that reality. Quantum mechanics does not so much describe the state of a physical system as it describes our knowledge of the relative frame of reference of mind, or our state of mind. It has no means of probing beneath the symbolism, and it can only
