That could be really interesting and prophetic. The negative would factor out leaving 'i', the imaginary number, so the result would be i * sqrt(WTF). "sqrt(WTF)" seems like a really good way to represent the GOP, it could even be considered their wave function so you end up with a peculiar version of Schrodinger's wave equation. This is an apt analogy of Willard in that his beliefs appear to be a superposition of many orthogonal possibilities. Only by observing his presidency could we "collapse the Mit-waveform" into a single, observable result. For now, we have to be content with observing the interference patterns generated by the recombining possibilities.

The imaginary part lends further evidence that the waveform describing Mitt is, indeed, quantum in nature. Shrodinger's wave is complex in that it contains an imaginary part, and only b y squaring it can we get a real value for probability. In other words, Romney contains an imaginary component that cannot be ignored. It also implies that previous attempts to collapse Mitt have been "weak" measurements that could only get incomplete knowledge, but failed to collapse the wave into a known value. We must focus on making much stronger measurement.

Only then can we fully collapse Mitt.

and go with the more generic "decoherence" terminology. That said, Mit is obviously short for Mass, imagnary number and time (or rather sqrt(tt) of the correct reading of the function). This suggests that Mitt(R) has eaten and contains the GOd Particle aka Higgs Boson, which Standard Model expects to give Mass to particles.

What remains shrouded in supersymmetry mystery is the question, does Law of Identity apply to both times of Mitt and if not, should they be processed to decohere chirally left to right or right to left, both, or neither?

It seems a lot more likely that quantum effects are easily disturbed and become incoherent. Observing Mitt hasn't made him any more incoherent, so he might already be at maximum already. Of it may be related to entropy: he's already reached maximum entropy - heat death - and can't get any worse.

Or maybe he's just strongly entangled with a pile of bullshit
