Abstract
Working from the Schroedinger's Cat paradigm, a series of experiments are constructed. The Bedford-Wang experiment is examined, and the ambiguity in its meaning is addressed. We eliminate this ambiguity by abandoning the idea of the triggering event, replacing the two-state system with a mirror that undergoes wave packet spreading. This creates an experimentally testable version of a modified Schroedinger's Cat experiment for which a null result is not the obvious outcome.
