What is an observer?
We have long assumed
that “an observer observes the world.”
But what if—
observation itself is not something we do,
but something that only appears
when certain conditions are met?
Two independent systems
align only at specific moments.
Yet this alignment cannot be explained
by causality, correlation, or measurement.
So who is observing?
Or rather—
does the observer emerge
only when observation becomes possible?

What do you think about this perspective?
I don’t think there is an observer. There’s just consciousness and its content. Obviously I have a subjective point of view but that doesn’t mean there’s a centre to my counsciousness where the self is located.
By the way, you already asked this question 4 times.
I’m asking because I want to hear perspectives from different people.
Sure, I mean you phrased it a different way. But I think it’s roughly still the same people around here in the philosophy community as it was 1 week ago. Just sayin… But maybe there is more perspectives around…
That’s a fair point. Thanks.
What is ‘observing’? Building an abstracted model based in things that imply the thing, like reflected photons?
