The discussion revolves around the interpretations of Thomas Breuer's work on quantum mechanics and the concept of a "distinguished observer." Participants explore the implications of Breuer's theories, particularly regarding consciousness, free will, and the nature of observers in quantum mechanics. The conversation includes critiques of a specific interpretation presented by another forum user, questioning its validity and coherence within the broader context of quantum theory.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the validity of the original poster's claims. There are multiple competing views regarding the interpretation of Breuer's work, with some expressing skepticism and others questioning the coherence of the original claims.
Some participants note that Breuer's work is not widely discussed or accepted within the physics community, and there are references to the age of his papers. The discussion reflects a range of interpretations and uncertainties regarding the implications of quantum mechanics on consciousness and observer behavior.

I didn't get the impression you were hinting at staclexchange stuff being right

AlexCaledin said:all such properties together do specify the actual spacetime universe

I'm going to give Hartle's work a read.
Thanks for everything!
