This is something I’ve been wondering lately:
Can a question—or observation itself—bring reality into being, rather than just reveal it?

A recent paper I came across explores this idea from a scientific angle. It suggests that “reality” might not be fully real until there’s a certain structural correlation between the observer and what is being observed.

That sounds abstract, I know. But in this view, observation isn’t just passive—it helps stabilize what we call reality.

I wrote a short essay (in English) summarizing the idea:

Would love to hear what others think. Does this resonate with any philosophical frameworks you know of?

    An infinite number of universes are constantly branching away in an infinite division of time. Yes, among the infinity is a universe where the only differences are whether you did it did not ask a question. But there are an equal number of universes created that describe every possible vibration in Brownian motion, so don’t think too much about it.
