Hypothesis 3: An atom is a semi-static wave function.

Hypothesis 3:  An atom in an interferometer is running through the device as a wavefunction.  When applying another wavefunction, the structure of the wavefunction can be determined on either side at half the value, as the wave is still in motion.  Therefore, "particles" are nothing more than the way we observe the wavefunction of all things... atoms are merely waves of dark energy contained to a semi-static state, where they interact within their own atom more easily and readily than within the wavefunction of another, until forced to do otherwise (such as in the event of electrons moving through a cable). 


An aside:
In answer to the issues of Schrodinger's theory: (I.E. - The stick a cat in a box with a radioactive-isotope-triggered-poison-machine experiment)

1 - Why is it that we never see superpositions of such macroscopically distinguishable states (such as cats being dead and alive at the same time) and instruments both recording and not recording signals?) After all, we do see the effects of such superposition in the interferometer when the porthole is closed, and of course in the two-slit experiment, but there the states involved were microscopic ones involving individual atoms.

A:  - Atoms are quarks and by their very nature, 'semi-static' wave functions.  Though they can be predicted, their state does fluctuate in relation to the wavefunctions around it.  However, a macroscopic object will constantly be surrounded by other wavefunctions, and therefore, stable.  Schrodinger cat will die, will die once, and it will be irrelevant whether or not this consciously observed.

2 - Even if there was a way of getting Schrodinger cat states out of the way before we look, is there not still further wavefunction collapse necessary to remove all the remaining possible options bar the one we actually end up observing?  Thus, Schrodinger's cat could be dead, alive, or both.  Removing the both option still does not tell us how one of the other two possibilities is discarded when we open the box.

A:  - The cat was never in two states at once.  Again, a macroscopic object will constantly be surrounded by other wavefunctions, and therefore, stable, unlike it's atomic counterpart.  Again, Schrodinger cat will die, will die once, and it will be irrelevant whether or not this consciously observed.
