I think everything is, at least conceptually, quantum. Only that our perception range “matches” our macro world so that things look mostly like solid objects, but they are all actually superpositions that I’m “sampling” through my perception

This is truly fascinating, I hadn’t heard of this. I interpret it as “aliasing”. So even though aliasing is usually defined in terms of the limit of the resolution of a signal processing system. You could say it also applies to our perception of the universe. At some point we hit our sampling rate limit and so anything we perceive could also be the alias of something at a different frequency that we can’t perceive
Kind of how we do with ultraviolet light. We can’t directly see it, so then we add an additional color. Or how we alias infrared or x-ray for astrophotography
And this is also how neural networks work: they convert everything to embedding vectors of a certain (finite) size, so then all information is essentially being mapped to a limited number of meanings, whose combinations (superposition?) determine the overall meaning of something
