- In [L. De Carlo and W. D. Wick, Entropy 25, 564 (2023)], we considered the problem of wavefunction ensembles for spin models. To observe magnetization at finite temperature, we had to add macroscopic nonlinear terms that suppress macroscopic superpositions by energy conservation. The nonlinear terms were of the kind introduced in [W. D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278 (2017)] to block spatial cats by energy conservation, proposed as a solution to the Measurement Problem. Reviewing this theory, I derive commutation relations that these nonlinear terms have to satisfy to be physically admissible, and show that the ones confining the wavefunction in space do indeed satisfy these relations. I generalize the terms of [L. De Carlo and W. D. Wick, Entropy 25, 564 (2023)] for non-pure spin models and check if they also satisfy the constraints, concluding with a negative answer and possibly giving an interpretation of the previous results. With a toy model I present the main experimental idea, that is that forming spatial cats meets an energy barrier. A comparison with Collapse Models is at the end.
