The hermeneutics of our Heavenly Father's persons being His "superposition" is a complex one. Some possible interpretations include:
The persons of the God (principally, the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit) are all equally present and active in all things, but they are also distinct from each other. This can be comparable to the way that light can be both a wave and a particle.
The persons of the God are not literally superimposed on top of each other, but they are so interconnected that they are able to share knowledge and experience with each other. This can also be comparable to the way that the human brain is made up of billions of neurons that are all interconnected. The capability of us to connect to God is part of human's image of God. Many of us have taken this for granted. "What conditions we need to connect to Him?", is the fundamental question.
The persons of the God are not clear-cut three different beings, but they could be three different aspects of the same being. This can be compared to the way that a single person can be a father, a husband, and a friend.
Ultimately, the question of whether or not our Heavenly Father's persons are His superposition is a matter of faith. There is no clear scientific evidence to prove or disprove this theological concept, just like other mathematic conjectures that really works. A mystery this is, so it is up to each individual to decide what one want to have faith in, at one's own peril, or "bracket" this.
Here are some additional thoughts on this topic:
The concept of superposition is a relatively recent scientific discovery, so it is possible that it could provide a new way of understanding the nature of God.
The concept is also associated with quantum mechanics, which is a field of science that is clearly still not fully understood, similar to the attributes of God that is beyond our capacity of full understanding. The natural world does reveal us attributes of God as sort of deducible, as the Bible has indicated. So powerful as the biblical UBUD, Ultimate Being of Ultimate Dimension, does have to do evil Himself, is what we can have faith in. All narratives in the Bible that have appearances that He did them Himself should be seen under the illuminations of multifacet truths of the Logos/Language Incarnation, as well as He let's all thing works synergistically.
The hermeneutics also can be seen as a way of reconciling the seemingly contradictory qualities of God. For instance, God is said to be principally both one and three, both eternal and temporal, both transcendent and immanent. The concept of "superposition" suggests that these qualities are not mutually exclusive, but can coexist in a single being. Furthermore, there're other aspect of the biblical God is that He is the UBUD, who's always 'NOW', as He's introduced Himself as 'I am who I AM'.
These are by no means aimed as ontology or grand narratives of our Heavenly Father, just part of fragmented suggestions, as He is omnipresent.
I shared the idea on Facebook, just passed it to AI and moderated the results.
