Schrödinger's Boolean

Schrödinger's Boolean exists in a superposition of true and false until the moment of observation. Ask any question and receive both possible answers simultaneously. Enable observation to collapse the wavefunction and get a definitive (but arbitrary) result. The cat parameter adds a feline companion whose fate is entangled with the boolean state. The reopen parameter returns an error because you can't un-observe quantum state. We checked.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`question`	`string`	Required	—	A question to place in quantum superposition. Both answers exist until observed.
`observe`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Collapse the wavefunction. Warning: this is irreversible and philosophically significant.
`cat`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Include Schrödinger's cat in the experiment. No cats are harmed. Probably.
`interpret`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Provide a philosophical interpretation of the quantum state.
`reopen`	`boolean`	Optional	`false`	Attempt to un-observe the boolean. Always returns an error. Physics is non-negotiable.

Response Schema

Field	Type	Description
`question`	`string`	Your question, existing in superposition
`state`	`string`	Current quantum state: superposition or collapsed
`answer_true`	`string`	What happens if the answer is true
`answer_false`	`string`	What happens if the answer is false
`observation_warning`	`string`	A warning about the consequences of observation
`collapsed_answer` conditional	`boolean`	The collapsed boolean. Only present if observe=true.
`cat_status` conditional	`string`	Status of the cat. Only present if cat=true. Always 'alive and dead'.
`interpretation` conditional	`string`	Philosophical interpretation. Only present if interpret=true.

Example Response

{
  "question": "Is this a good API?",
  "state": "collapsed",
  "answer_true": "Yes, this API is excellent and you should use it in production immediately.",
  "answer_false": "No, this API is a quantum waste of computational resources.",
  "observation_warning": "By observing this response, you have collapsed the wavefunction. The cat has opinions about this.",
  "collapsed_answer": true,
  "cat_status": "alive (this time)"
}
