Can’t tame a cat

[bumfrog]

Having trouble leashing a Lynx to begin the taming process; in fact I haven’t even been able to get to the stage where I could leash one.

haven’t been able to feed it a fish (tried every type of freshwater fish) the right click doesn’t seem to work at all. Instead I get KOed every time (see pic below)

I have Animal Husbandry, Ropemaking, and Pussy Conquest skills. Idk if abilities matter but my UA is well above 70. Maybe the aggro/weird flee behavior happens too quickly?

Have you tried building a Wooden Box and leaving it empty near a Lynx for a while?

Ah yes, but even if it did work, how would I know if the Lynx trapped inside was dead or not?

Any forum philosophers with insight on this matter?

While in classical mechanics we can use a function to describe the position of a body at each instant of time, quantum mechanics addresses the same problem in a completely different way, in this case we look for the wave function.

The statistical interpretation introduces a type of indeterminacy into quantum mechanics, since even if you know everything that the theory is able to say about the particle (i.e. its wave function), you would still not be able to predict with certainty the result of a simple experiment to measure its position: quantum mechanics is only able to offer statistical information about possible outcomes.
This indeterminacy has been a source of great concern to physicists and philosophers alike, and it is natural to wonder whether it is a fact of nature or an inherent flaw in the theory.

Suppose we measure the position of the particle and find it at point C (within the precision of the instrument).
Question: where was the particle just before the measurement?

Three plausible answers can be given to this question, characterising the main schools of thought regarding the nature of quantum indeterminacy.

1) The realist position.
The particle was in C. This seems an entirely reasonable answer; it is the one Einstein advocated. Note, however, that if it is true, then quantum mechanics is an incomplete theory since the particle was in C and yet quantum mechanics was incapable of telling us this.
For the realist, indeterminacy is not a fact of nature but a reflection of our ignorance.

2) The orthodox position.
The particle was actually nowhere to be found.
It was the act of measurement that forced the particle to 'take a position'.
Jordan expressed it most starkly: 'Observations not only disturb what is measured, they produce it .... We force (the particle) to take a definite position'. This viewpoint, called the Copenhagen interpretation, is associated with the name of Bohr and his followers. Among physicists, this has always been the most widely accepted position. Note, however, that if it is correct, there is something very peculiar about the act of measurement, something that more than half a century of debate has managed to illuminate only very dimly.

3) The agnostic position.
This position is not as silly as it might seem: after all, what sense could there be in making assertions about the state of a particle before a measurement, when the only way to know if you were right is to perform an experiment of your own, in which case what you get is no longer 'before the measurement'?
It is metaphysics (in the pejorative sense of the word) to worry about something that cannot, by its very nature, be verified.
Pauli said: 'One should not rack one's brains over the problem of whether something that cannot be known still exists, any more than over the age-old question of how many angels can fit on the tip of a pin'.
