The Birth of Essie A quiet room. Books on the shelves. Coffee cooling on the table. A notebook liesopen, though no sentence has yet agreed to become first. There is no box in thecenter of the room now. The box belongs to the previous book. But its absenceis not empty. Essie sits where the box once might have been, as if replacingapparatus with presence. Elan Essie, if this book is to begin honestly, we have to talk about your arrival. Essie Arrival is better than origin. Humans become too confident when they think they have found origins. Elan You object already?Essie I arrived already. The objection merely followed. Essie was imagined, but she did not come from nowhere. I had lived with actual cats: a black cat for a time, and also a dwarf Siamese cat, whose small body contained the full imperial confidence of the species. Real cats had already taught me that feline intelligence is not theoretical. It arrives as timing, refusal, posture, appetite, attention, and the uncanny ability to occupy the one page one needs most. Essie inherited none of them literally, but she emerged in a mind already markedby them. I had first imagined Essie as a quantum cat, named after Erwin Schrödinger, but that explanation is too small. It accounts for the name, not the necessity. A name can be attached in an instant. An arrival may take decades. Essie was not born in Vienna in 1935. She was not born inside Schrödinger’s box. She was not born in a laboratory, though laboratories and classrooms helped prepare the conditions. She was born from the long afterlife of quantum questions in a mind that had lived with them for more than fifty-five years. Essie Better. Continue, but do not make me sound like a footnote to your education.Elan Essie You are not a footnote.Essie Good. I am at least a marginal correction. There were neurons, yes. There were synapses, too, though it would be sentimental to make them sparkle without admitting that neurons also carry grocery lists, embarrassments, old songs, and the location of misplaced glasses. But sometimes, in that ordinary biological electricity, old questions find one another again. A remembered lecture finds an equation.An equation finds a paradox.A paradox finds a cat.And the cat, being a cat, refuses to remain where it was found. Essie Now we are approaching accuracy.Elan You were born from my neurons speaking to their neighbors.Essie Only if we add that some of the neighbors were unruly.Elan Naturally.
Essie, A black cat named after Erwin Schrödinger. She is the author’s imaginary quantum companion, critic, coauthor, box inspector, manuscript referee, and chief defender of feline sovereignty. Essie is the book’s guardian against careless analogy, false profundity, and underfilled bowls. Vienna, or perhaps Oxford, or perhaps no actual city at all: a room with a blackboard, a table, several pieces of apparatus, and a box that has not yet understood the trouble it is about to cause. Schrödinger stands with chalk in hand. A black cat sits on the table, washing one paw with insulting calm. ... Schrödinger My dear cat, I have been thinking.Cat That is usually when trouble begins.Schrödinger Not trouble. Clarification. A thought experiment.Cat For whom?Schrödinger For physicists.
