Dramatic, isn't it, I mean, superposed macroscopic magnetic fields, the
exact real status of which is difficult to interpret with any great
sureness, also cryptic statements about relationships being real while
the related things are themselves unreal? I think maybe I'll just get
out and enjoy life before I am deleted by virtue of some outside
observer erasing my external state vector representation from his hard
drive?
Actually, really, just kidding about that last concern :^)
