UNIVERSAL REALITY
We must also consider the qualifications of the observer to partake in measurements of elementary objects. Is the observer not macroscopic and thus subject to [1], the acceleration restriction? The answer is that while the observer's physical being is macroscopic its perception may be macroscopic or microscopic. Perception is microscopic when 'what is perceived' constitutes information. Unlike macroscopic objects, information is independent of the format in which it is contained, e.g. the understanding you may gain from these very words is independent of whether you read them from a hard copy, off a computer screen or hear them as recorded audio text. Note that this is very different from a physical copy, e.g. four identical chairs around a table, even if they could be identical in the finest details, would still be constituted from different elements and certainly occupy their own space. On the other hand the necessary information to make the chairs is again not macroscopic. Clearly the above realisation has important implications for understanding how the human mind and brain works; however, we will not divert from our present enquiry for what is a topic worthy of a separate discussion. What is important for the present discourse is that the observer may be in either mode with different consequences for what it perceives.
