Welcome to Catland!

**Catland** aims to present a simple, but accurate, view of how quantum particles behave.

This is a work in progress. We'll start with the basics, and (hopefully) build up to a coherent picture of how familiar classical reality emerges from the quantum world.

The name *Catland* is a reference to both Schrödinger's cat, and to Edwin A. Abbott's novella *Flatland*. Whereas *Flatland* provides intuitive illustration of ideas related to spatial dimensions, here we try to illustrate through examples the many-dimensional quantum world of Schrödinger's cat, who is famously alive and dead at the same time.
