This is only a problem if one interprets the Hilbert space as truth. If
one interprets it as a mental model made with limited information, the
curious intersection is actually an expression of an *observer's*
uncertainty about the organism being alive or dead or both or none.
QM is much less confusing if one adopts the internalist stance. The
superposition is a formalization of an observer's inability to decide
between multiple contingencies.
