observation is in awareness. Awareness is where “the buck stops”. I believe that the experiment has been done, where the 2-slit experiment is done while checking which slit the particle goes through, thus forcing particle-not-wave, but then the observation is obliterated, … unfortunately I don’t know the result of that experiment ( been too many years: don’t remember )
?Jacob? or something, in one of Curt Jaimungal’s videos, explained that he’d been trying to convert QM to something comprehensible, & so that meant probability-theory … but what he ended-up-with worked too well: then he discovered that the ONLY difference between normal probability-theory & QM is that QM is non-Markovian: KNOWING is a fundamental-property of QM.
The knowing ALTERS probabilities.
Without knowing, “observation” is bogus.
& all the physicists who go on about how “information” is fundamental, but who simultaneously reject that knowing is physics-real … they’re just doing ideological-gymnastics, in my view.
IF knowing is altered, THEN observation has happened.
That elegant experiment, years ago, running a beam of particles through a superconducting-ring’s center, with a superconducting toroid-envelope around that ring, so IF there was any current flowing 'round-&-'round in it, THEN electromagnetism COULDN’T POSSIBLY affect the stream of particles going through the center: the envelope blocked all electromagnetic-action…
yet it DID affect the beam/stream…
proving that it isn’t the interactions-between-particles’ forces, it is the interaction through the underlying-field…
or, as another interpretation of it would be: “spooky action at a distance”.
Coherences are being formed & destroyed all the time: & Sabine Hossenfelder has stated so, too.
It isn’t something that only-sometimes exists, it is always existing, & always being impinged-on by collisions, collapsing the existing-wave-function, creating replacement-wave-functions…
the point of observation being rooted in awareness, though, is something that the Physicalism/Existentialism religion rejects, since it insists that awareness isn’t real, it is only an emergent delusion/mirage.
Only matter is real, in that religion.
& while “anomalies” may exist, they are powerless to falsify any axioms, of course.
Hofstadter’s “Godel Escher Bach” book was entirely on how axioms control what one cannot know, & what one can.
IF awareness doesn’t exist in a universe … THEN … who gets to claim that there are any “facts” in that universe??
