[TO BE FILLED: List all prior axioms this depends on]
Formal Statement
Statement: Observers participate in actualizing reality, not merely measuring it.
UUID: [1ee55f10-6f3f-4cc0-a479-984ee8a4a2ff]
Definition: Integrated Information Φ ≡ measure of observer capacity (Tononi).
UUID: [2b6dd65a-b627-408f-86a6-47b7f0c8a581] | Definition | Integrated Information
Observer Capacity Spectrum:
| System | Φ Estimate |
|---|---|
| Electron | ~0 |
| Bacterium | ~0.1 |
| Mouse | ~1 |
| Human | ~10 |
| AI (current) | ? |
| Terminal Observer | ∞ |
Experimental Basis:
- Wheeler delayed-choice (Jacques 2007, Ma 2016) — observer affects past
- Quantum eraser (Kim 2000, Walborn 2002) — information determines outcome
