I figured it out. The reason why quantum mechanics seems to work is because we make measurements with imprecise instruments and imprecise no mater how precise we make them. Our entire mathematical perception of the universe including mater and energy happens to be schematic which is in a sense coded so we can perceive and make sense of what we observe. What we observe comes from our senses which are highly imprecise but are corrected by our brains that take raw data that is very fuzzy and imprecise and assign schematic code to the details. It is like our best ,most number of pixels, digital cameras assigning a pixel from the visible spectrum to a tiny area that is just averaging or assigning a color to a microscopic zone that may be much more highly complex and/or fuzzy. Our eyes have retinas that see in their own cellular pixelating way and the brain interprets that accordingly often seeing what we think we see and not what we actually see which is why optical illusions are so easy to find that fool the eyes. It is true of touch where we have difficulty deciding weather something is cold or hot without finding other clues to put it into context. It is true with smell where we can be totally confused about what smells like what with our eyes closed. It is true with how we hear sounds. All the senses are modified data from our biological sensors that categorize and label codify and schematize. So Yes the perfect is not really what we sense or perceive but how we process it. When we are confused things seem fuzzy.
That is the analogy not the empirical evidence. The empirical evidence is that our detectors whether the biological senses, the precise scientific detection devices or the super precise scientific detection devices are all material objects made of mater that have to interface with energy or photons that represent energy in order to process the detection of anything / each photon or electrons in motion.
Fuzziness of reality of quantum mechanics theory comes into play precisely because of this. We don't have detectors that grasp a direct relationship with mater. No there is a translation from mater as energy usually in the electro magnetic spectrum. photons imprint information from the behavior of atoms and relay that to our detectors. At the moment this relay happens what is the angular momentum imprint of the electrons or photons hitting the detection device we have a concurrence of several different kinds of angular momentum at one time. Say our detector is made of solid gold and that gold is at room temperature so it's atoms that act as the detection interface have an angular momentum reflecting that temperature of that metal and may have impurities in it that add even more fuzziness because gold may be 99.999 percent gold and not 100 percent gold. The relay then puts one faint source of relayed imprinted photon angular momentum into contact with that of the gold in the detector and that relays to a copper wire behind the apparatus that takes it to something like an oscilloscope of the old fashioned kind which makes a schematic pattern with it. So you really can forget about dead cats in boxes. If the cat is warm the box is detecting that and can relay it to the exterior if the cat is dead and cold inside less of that will relay to the exterior of the box and what ever relays is only picked up by the detection device because some photon or electron relays or imprints some other electron or photon with it's particular angular momentum plus what is residual in the relay electron or photon. Fuzzy everything becomes with precision instruments thus.
Why angular momentum? It is at the scale of the electron and the photon imprinted by conditions of the mater and type coming from earlier interactions with energy as such. Now if you want the proof it is angular momentum that comes directly from a proper understanding of how Young's double slit experiment actually works. The only reason there is apparent interference from a uniform source of light on the surface behind the double slits is because of atomic angular momentum imparted on to the photons passing though but that imparted angular momentum is really all encapsulated in the detector making the detection and the material wall it is projected on. nothing in space is photons interfering with each other. the interference is within the electrons of the material surfaces of the projection screen which have atoms combining various rates of acceleration form imprinting that happens at the point of the double slits that intervene between the source of light and the projection screen. Nothing happens in space in a vacuum there if the experiment is preformed in a vacuum tube.
At the microscopic level none of the material surfaces are smooth. There is plenty of room for fuzziness.
