Explain.
I explained it earlier, but here you are:
Methinks the nature of the reality is epiontic. If the objects and the properties that the observer universe contains exist independently of your cognitive apparatus (I mean independently of your perception and of your awareness), you should be able to comment about them without being aware of their existence. Can you do such a thing?
Of course, to ignore how exactly the reference-fixing mechanism of the observer universe works is not a reason to deny that the differ observers that make up “the reality out there that exists before being noticed” have not already collapsed the w/f by the time they are noticed by us and hence to conclude that they exist in a way that differentiates Them from You (and this way you can for example state: “I am not a car”, “You are not I” etc.). Now, kindly please explain how and by what means can you be able to state that this kind of reality exists Before your cognizance apparatus notices it.
However, in any case our mental and semantic content is grounded in linguistic and cognitive practices, and at this level of awareness the only thing we have is just correlations between mental symbols and mind-dependent objects set up. Therefore, when you insist that reality exists out there “as it is” before you have that very reality conceived, you assume that your asserted sentences have determinate meanings. But this just holds not in the case of the superposition; in order to comment you must establish correspondences between mental symbols and the items in the system to which they refer.
Now, kindly please explain by what means and which way can you attribute the bit the value 0 or 1 when the system is in superposition (0/1).
Also, leaving aside the quantum realm of existence, prey tell by what means and which way can you attribute the bit the value 0 or 1 prior to being aware of its existence and thus prior to establishing correspondences between mental symbols and the items in the system to which they refer
