Essay Abstract
Quantum theory treats rigorously of observables while the term "observer" is hardly itself a rigorous notion. We argue that the uncertainty principle must be understood in the Gödel sense that: any given observer constitutes own practical definition of "the unobservable" (if superposition) or namely length scale, phase space, fundamental frequency etc. Conversely, the observable is definable strictly only in inverse-observer values as, that is, the "wave function collapse" or respectively, inverse-length, phase-point, harmonics. One has thus a picture of the observer that in being participant is also non-local as in Gödel's "consistency-is-undecidable" or Planck's "the-constant-is-the-uncertainty" or indeed Einstein's "speed-of-light-is-information-speed-limit". Definitive of these three cases, we assert, is Peano's (and Noether's?) notion of the constant (our "observer") as being for any gamut of events the meta-state ("conserved current"). Meaning now, it is the observer per se, and not his observables, which should constitute violation of Bell's inequality--say, as the infinitesimal/imaginary axis or as the dimensionless/infinite-dimensional etc. We posit: any given observer signifies the virtual exchange of standard model or space-time of GR or just the metric (norm)--defined by the singular trait that it is the de facto "superposition" i.e. natural unit and natural limit of physical information. Observables emerge quite directly thus as the perturbations if "decoherence" or "spontaneous symmetry breaking" of the observer. Now this status of/or the observer we call rather the entity as against hitherto the uncertainty; difference is that we have an ontic as the uncertainty per se. For a prediction we show here an exact value demonstrating man as the entity or "natural unit" for quantum gravity. The idea is that in being to ourselves the most authentic sample of the term observer we should also represent to ourselves the purest sample possible of the term wave function.

Chidi Idika trained in mass communication at the University of Nigeria and also has trained and worked in pioneer graphics, media and print studios in Lagos. He grew up a bit of a tinkerer, deeply inspired by physics and science in general. After attempting to event what he incidentally found out is conceived by modern science as a perpetual motion machine and an impossibility he has sought to devise for himself a notion of energy that in the least could soothe his curiosity. And here he is excited about a thing called wave function.
