God's genocide through the anthropic principle
NOTE: Don't read this if you don't understand what a superposition is.
If the anthropic principle is to be correct and explain god's influence on the universe then he is responsible for more death than imaginable. Whatever causes observation is controlled by some physical constant. If these constants where changed so observation was harder we would reside in a universe were we could be in superposition of states!! The richness of life in such a universe would be truly unimaginable since the complexity would be so much greater. So if the anthropic principle is a testament to god, then god has made a lousy choice.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're asking if what we consider macroscale events [or, if you will, if the mediation particles for, say, the electroweak force] would also have to be described as higher order eigenstates -- it'd be a better world because it'd enable greater complexity?
That's a bit anthropic yourself, isn't it, lol -- a question on the order of "what if more of the world of classical physics / evident human experience necessitated the use of eigenstates to adequately describe it?"
How would one go about knowing whether or not that were the case -- and when would that come up?
A pocket universe situation?
Incidentally, the concept of the eigenvector helps me in social scientific thinking as well -- another case where a scientific education leads to nonlinear approaches to knowledge. In short, the emergent wisdom in the method, no?
Oh, incidentally... the word you're looking for is "deicide".
