contents <p>This paper provides a self-consistent explanation of Schrödinger's Cat paradox within the framework of Time Field Theory (TFT). Starting from the axioms of conservation of local intrinsic total speed and spacetime flux conservation, TFT derives the core proposition: Mass as Observer. A massive entity carries its own local time benchmark and possesses the definitional power of physical quantities, while the wavefunction serves only as a background probability description without definitional power. In the Schrödinger’s Cat setup, the cat, Geiger counter, and poison bottle are natural observers; once the radioactive atom couples to the counter, its state is locked to a definite value, so the cat’s life or death is determined before the box is opened. The paradox arises from inverted definitional priority: using a massless background to describe a massive observer. TFT unifies the description of gravity and quantum measurement within flat Euclidean space, without introducing consciousness, parallel worlds, or hidden variables.</p>
