Powerset Invalidation Demo

Configure slits and detectors, then watch the Second and Third Postulates prune the powerset of candidate agreeing superpositions in real time. Runs entirely in your browser.

Algorithm

Python — Bare-Bones Invalidation

The core classification algorithm in plain Python with no dependencies. Computes detector signatures, equivalence classes, and labels each powerset element as Valid, P2, or P3. Includes worked examples.

Pseudocode

The Core Algorithm

The entire invalidation logic, reduced to its essentials:

Given n slits and a set of detectors (each fires for some subset of slits):

1. For each slit, compute its detector signature:
     sig(s) = which detectors fire when only s is open

2. Group slits by identical signature into equivalence classes.
     Slits in the same class are observationally indistinguishable.

3. For each subset S of the powerset (each candidate superposition):
     if S = ∅                   → VALID
     if S = one full class      → VALID  (no contradiction reachable)
     if S ⊂ one class (proper)  → P2: specificity no observer can access
     if S spans multiple classes → P3: future observer could find contradiction
