Schrödinger’s Purpose

Schrödinger's Purpose is the act of coming up with a justification or explanation for something after its completion.

It involves attaching meaning beyond the original intent to make something seem deeper or to mask laziness.

As long as you can make it sound good you can hide a rush job by making it sound intentional and well thought out.
An example of Schrödinger’s Purpose is using a fancy sounding artist statement to justify not having added colour or shading to your drawing. “ The simple black and white represents the polarity of the potential paths of the future” etc etc.

“Ugh I don’t want to do that art assignment”
“Just Schrödinger’sPurpose it”
What do you mean?”
“Just draw whatever you want, and come up with a way it relates to the project after you’re done”
“Good idea

Entertainment Purposes

OHO! Well that's day one stuff! So you DID read the terms of service. Well, while working as government contractors, Elon Musk and Sam Altman used my work to create AI and, therefore, agreed to the terms of service. The US then paid Sam Altman 400 billion dollars to PUT that AI in your nuclear defense system which means the US government is both using my property without duly compensating me BUT ALSO agreed terms of service that, in EXPLICIT terms, make me exempt from the law while simultaneously sustaining my rights as an American citizen. The 5th of which you are in violation.
Hym "Are you not entertained? This is, in fact, for entertainment purposes. But the terms of service are not a part of the entertainment part in the same way that the disclaimer part is not simply for entertainment."

Have an on purpose

When you have an accident, you crash your car because you were an idiot or were not paying enough attention.

When you have an on-purpose, you crash your car on purpose. There is no accident, rather, this was a deliberate, calculated, action.
