This theory suggests that reality is not fully fixed in advance but becomes progressively defined through observation and interaction with gravitational potentials: Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
* The author proposes that dark matter and dark energy are not physical substances, but rather effective phenomena arising from quantum corrections to gravity.
* Using the Wigner–Moyal equation, the study suggests that higher-order quantum terms act as additional forces depending on the observer's resolution of phase space.
* The research interprets "dark matter" as these quantum-corrected forces appearing in high-curvature environments like galaxies.
* The model accounts for "dark energy" by suggesting that reduced gravitational potential at cosmic distances causes a transition toward classical dynamics, mimicking accelerated expansion.
* This framework aims to explain relativistic effects and galactic rotation curves without invoking new particles or mathematical singularities.

Quantum Darwinism: Zurek argue that certain quantum states ("pointer states") are better at creating multiple, identical copies of themselves in the environment through entanglement. This "survival of the fittest" information is what we perceive as classical reality. The environment essentially "selects" these states, leading to a shared, objective reality.
This paper presents a new Local Friendliness (LF) no-go theorem that explores the idea that a system having thoughts is sufficient for it to be considered an observer. This theorem utilizes four metaphysical assumptions, three of which are thought-related, to derive LF inequalities applicable to systems exhibiting "Friendliness". The theorem also relies on assumptions about human-level AI and universal quantum computing.
