“Wave function” is a cross-genre category for books that treat reality as a field of overlapping possibilities, where observation, choice, and connection determine what becomes real. It gathers fiction with nonlinear or branching structures, multiverse and time-loop tales, puzzle-box mysteries, and character arcs built around superposition and collapse, as well as relationships portrayed through “entanglement” across distance and time. It also includes nonfiction and hybrid works that explore quantum theory, probabilistic thinking, and the philosophical or poetic implications of uncertainty, often using scientific ideas as metaphor rather than hard exposition. Ranging from cerebral and speculative to intimate and lyrical, the unifying thread is reader participation: texts that invite the observer to collapse meanings, turning ambiguity into insight.
