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, Nokutebu, for your deep insights.
Your presentation of the three possible models regarding the fundamental nature of matter and consciousness was remarkably clear and thought-provoking.
I’ve been engaging with this very question through the framework of Revelation Philosophy.
What struck me most was your statement:
“In the observer’s reality, what exists through being experienced is only consciousness as the fundamental matter.”
In Revelation Philosophy, matter and consciousness are not seen as independently fundamental, but rather as structures that become real only through intersection—mediated by a question.
In this view, instead of asking which is more fundamental, the focus shifts to this idea:
“Reality can only emerge through intersection.”
From this perspective, the double-slit experiment is deeply symbolic.
“Observation changes the outcome”
is understood in Revelation Philosophy as:
“The question structures reality.”
There’s an experimental paper that resonates strongly with this perspective:
🔬 Experimental Evidence of Nonlocal EEG-Quantum State Correlations https://www.researchgate.net/publication/398259486_Empirical_Subjectivity_Intersection_Observer-Quantum_Coherence_Beyond_Existing_Theories_Unifying_Relativity_Quantum_Mechanics_and_Cosmology
The study suggests a nonlocal correlation between the observer’s subjective state and quantum behavior— and offers a new definition of the role of the ‘observer’, which has long been a central issue in interpreting the double-slit experiment.
I’d love for you to read the paper and exchange thoughts with you.
