What Schrödinger’s cat REALLY means

Take the next step. A room with 2 cat boxes and 2 observers. Each observer has a perfect poker face and can see the other observer but not what is in the other observer's box when it is opened.

Take your time. You'll wind up with at least 4 world lines, all of which have two observers that are simultaneously aware of at least two mutually exclusive worldlines. 

The simplest possible explanation for what follows is that different world lines exist, your state of awareness includes an enormous number of them, and when a split is forced by creating two or more unique states of awareness, it is not the universe's world lines that split, but your state of awareness, which is really another way of saying your state of consciousness.

Increasing your state of awareness does not divide the universe or create "new" universes, it divides your state of awareness,

And we all exist on our own unique worldlines that can overlap each other's. Just as waves do. Probably because space-time itself is a wave emanating from the so-called Big Bang event.

It can be taken a step further. Should two or more separate states of awareness become identical, there will no longer be two or more, there will only be one.
