Consider Zeno's paradoxes in light of the Einstein's thought experiment of the two lightnings hitting a train. The "paradoxes" show that we can't really talk about objects outside the context of observation and the problems that arise if we postulate existence of object outside of an observer's frame of reference and thus not subjected to the mechanics of perception.

To understand perceived objects we must understand how perception works because anything we think about as a real object is included in the scope of perception, is perceived and is absolutely subjected to it's mechanics.

Zeno's paradoxes are given in terms of what is seen or otherwise perceived, such as a race seen by the eye. When we observe a race where some fast moving object passes by [overtakes] a slower moving object at some point we can't tell who is ahead but after that point the faster moving object is perceived to be ahead, measurement is a matter of precision but is likewise an act of observation.

As I understand it, the wave function is a predictive model describing a to-be-perceived collapse of the function rather than an object's non perceived state.
