Unice cogito, ergo quantum sum (I think uniquely, therefore I am quantum mechanical)
Karl Svozil

TL;DR
The paper explores the implications of universal quantum state evolution on measurement irreversibility and suggests that human perception may provide evidence against quantum jellification, highlighting the subjective nature of measurement.
Contribution
It proposes that human cognitive experience challenges the idea of quantum jellification and discusses the subjective interpretation of measurement in quantum mechanics.
Findings
Human perception does not exhibit quantum jellification.
Measurement irreversibility may be a subjective, practical abstraction.
Quantum coherence's ambivalence in cognition is weak and often ignored.
Abstract
If the unitary quantum mechanical state evolution is universally valid, quantized systems evolve uniformly, deterministically, and reversible; that is, one-to-one. Hence, what is considered an irreversible measurement might be a purely subjective, conventional, and convenient abstraction of the situation that, although in principal totally reversible, for all practical purposes (fapp), measurements cannot be undone. If this is granted, then Schroedinger's "quantum jellification" arises because of the inevitability of the physical co-existence of classically mutually exclusive states through quantum coherence. It is suggested to take the rather unique human cognitive and perceptive experience as evidence that, at least at the level of apperception, quantum jellification does not exist at all. Otherwise the problems of how to characterize the ambivalence of perception and cognition…
