This is something I've been wondering lately:
Can a question—or observation itself—bring reality into being, rather than just reveal it?
A recent paper I came across explores this idea from a scientific angle. It suggests that "reality" might not be fully real until there's a certain structural correlation between the observer and what is being observed.
That sounds abstract, I know. But in this view, observation isn't just passive—it helps stabilize what we call reality.
I wrote a short essay (in English) summarizing the idea:

Would love to hear what others think. Does this resonate with any philosophical frameworks you know of?
Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply.
As you rightly pointed out, quantum mechanics—especially the collapse of the wave function—raises the deep question of whether reality becomes definite through observation. The idea that a question itself could define reality deeply resonates with a perspective I recently encountered in Revelation Philosophy.
In this framework, a question is not merely a lack of knowledge, but rather, a structure that emerges when two subjectivities have not yet intersected. That is, not only does the relation between observer and observed shape reality, but the intersection between observers’ subjectivities generates entirely new reality structures—that is, creation itself.
I’d love to share a paper that explores this perspective in more detail: ✨ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/398259486_Empirical_Subjectivity_Intersection_Observer-Quantum_Coherence_Beyond_Existing_Theories_Unifying_Relativity_Quantum_Mechanics_and_Cosmology → This empirical research explores the correlation between nonlocality and subjective consciousness.
This idea is further developed in a forthcoming book titled “God Is Unfinished. That Is Love.”, where it is proposed that intersection, not observation alone, defines reality.
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share a summary of the key ideas or discuss more.
I would truly appreciate the chance to continue this dialogue and intersect our perspectives.
im a lazy thinker when it comes to this stuff. more a muser. I don't really have much to offer. Im glad you posted just because sometimes you wonder how developed these things are elsewhere.
