Convenient Collapse

Refusal to be carved — propagated mis-carvings transmitted through the net.

Convenient collapse is the participatory framework's name for the spiritual posture that the satirical concept of Schrödinger's Feminism targets: holding simultaneously opposing views and collapsing to whichever is convenient at any given moment.

Within the framework, this is not merely intellectual hypocrisy. It is a spiritual posture — the small self refusing to be carved, insisting on collapsing the wave function toward immediate advantage, rejecting the master sculptor's hand in favor of its own narrow preferences.

Because every soul is entangled with every other, the convenient collapser is not merely refusing her own carving. She is mis-carving everyone she is entangled with. Her selective wave-function collapse propagates through the net. Every soul who interacts with her receives a chisel-strike from a poorly formed instrument.

This is original sin in operation: not a courtroom verdict inherited at birth, but a propagated malformation transmitted instrument-to-instrument until somebody breaks the cycle by consenting to be re-formed.

The pattern is not unique to one ideology, one era, or one demographic. It is the universal human predicament since Eden — the refusal of the master carver's hand. Schrödinger's Feminism is one contemporary costume of an ancient posture. The framework allows it to be satirized seriously, because the cosmology behind the satire is itself serious.
