Thanks, understood- the metaphor wasn't intended to imply the registers themselves were quantum objects, more that the process of observation / measurement of some quantum phenomenon- metaphorically- could be a creative/derivative process. That metaphor/mental model would conflict, to some degree, with the centralized/cache coherency metaphor you cite, that aligns more with colloquial understanding of "measure." Whether one is more appropriate than another I don't know. But I find the decentralized model produces more interesting naive questions for me to puzzle over. Of course those questions likely lead in a completely wrong direction. Cheers, thanks for engagement.
