Key Points

  • To unify the understanding of consciousness and observer-dependent measurement through a structural framework.
  • Proposes a unified structural interpretation rooted in The Relative Framework.
  • Analyzes consciousness and measurement through constrained relational systems with specific properties.
  • Redefines the observer concept as a bounded system rather than a privileged entity.
  • Demonstrates that conscious experience arises from interaction within relational systems.
  • Establishes that measurement outcomes are emergent rather than revealing intrinsic properties.
  • Arguments do not replace existing models but provide a new structural interpretation of consciousness.

Abstract

This paper proposes a unified structural interpretation of consciousness and observer-dependent measurement grounded in The Relative Framework. It argues that both phenomena arise from constrained relational systems operating under finite resolution capacity (ρ), cumulative irreversibility (K), and representational conflict/divergence (Δ). By redefining the observer as a structurally bounded system rather than a privileged entity, we demonstrate that conscious experience and measurement outcomes are emergent stabilizations of interaction, not revelations of intrinsic properties. The paper does not attempt to replace existing physical or philosophical models, but to provide a structural lens through which both domains can be coherently interpreted.
