But inarbuably: you do *not* need to invoke consciousness to explain quantum measurements! We have multiple viable counterexamples. We don't know which one is right - science plods on at its pace, sorry - but it's entirely possible to understand QM with no special place for consciousness. (7/7)
Would it be wrong to define this “measurement” as simply the moment probability becomes reality? The die lands on one of its faces. Each “tick” in time this must surely happen everywhere.
