Mixed states, 2 | Eigenstates 4
.
— This is my guess. —
If the position is indefinite, you can express it in terms of a pure quantum state[1] (of a superposition of position eigenstates);
if the quantum state is indefinite, you can express it in terms of a mixed state;
if the mixed state is indefinite, you can express it in terms of a “mixed mixed state”[2]; etc. until definite.
At that level, you can start to use classical logic.

If you cannot get certainty, you can get certain uncertainty.

[2]: Me@2019-03-22 02:56:21 PM: This concept may be useless, because a so-called “mixed mixed state” is just another mixed state.
For example, the mixture of mixed states
and
is
