Observer Theory

Observer theory explores how observation itself influences and defines the phenomena we study in physics and other sciences.

Project Overview

Observer theory at the Wolfram Institute explores the foundational principles of observation in computational and physical systems. The project focuses on how observers, both human and measurement devices, influence and interpret data within these systems. It examines the mathematical frameworks and algorithms that define observation, aiming to unify diverse scientific perspectives. The research seeks to develop new methodologies for understanding complex systems through the lens of the observer, with implications for fields ranging from quantum mechanics to artificial intelligence.
