Meet Cat Sith (pronounced Cat Shee)! Originating from Celtic mythology, our very clever Alan Coyne put a quantum spin on the character, using the famous thought experiment of Schrödinger's Cat as further inspiration. Here's some insight from Alan about the site and Cat Sith.
What delights you about your corner of McLaren Park?
The Calibi-Yau bushes, with their holomorphic n-forms vanishing nowhere.
What surprises you about your corner of the park?
My inability to find it until suddenly I'm in it. It's almost as though my act of observing it causes it to spring into existence.
What do you admire about your psychopomp?
His ability to remain in superposition as both scientific thought experiment and modern-day myth.
What brings your psychopomp joy?
My psychopomp finds joy in moments of breakthrough, like when something seemingly inexplicable is suddenly understood. And vice versa.
Don't miss your chance to meet Cat Sith, Anubis, and the other guides of PSYCHOPOMP!
