    Division of Quantum Morality, Festive Field Report

    Superposition of Gratitude

    SUMMARY:

    In response to repeated questions about whether unpurchased gifts still generate gratitude fields, the Division conducted a controlled holiday simulation.  Observers recorded measurable joy in recipients once the possibility of generosity was acknowledged, regardless of actual follow-through.

    FINDINGS:

    1. Recipients both possess and do not possess presents until opened.
    2. The presence of thought, when measured, alters emotional outcome.
    3. Intention collapses the social waveform; packaging is optional.
    4. The ethical collapse of good intentions under observation is inevitable.

    RECOMMENDATIONS:

    Future gift exchanges may be conducted through implication alone.The Bureau approves non-physical generosity as a sustainable practice.


    ADVISORY NOTICE TO STAFF:

    Schrödinger has been advised to stop testing on cats and interns.
