The Problem of the Observer in Physics
Davide Bondoni

TL;DR
The paper proposes a novel approach to the measurement problem in physics by differentiating language and meta-language, viewing measurement as a meta-sentence on an entangled holistic event, potentially resolving the observer problem.
Contribution
It introduces a new conceptual framework that avoids the subject-object split and halts the von Neumann chain by using meta-assertions on holistic phenomena.
Findings
Measurement as a meta-sentence clarifies the observer's role.
Avoids the traditional subject-object boundary in quantum measurement.
Provides a new perspective on the meaning of measurement in physics.
Abstract
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I present a new approach to the problem of measurement, based on the difference between language (reality) and meta-language (meta-reality). This way, it will be shown as the measurement is a meta-sentence on a real event. It is no longer necessary to split up the world into subject and object with a shifty boundary, but starting with an holistic event (the phenomenon) in which everything is entangled and make meta-assertion on this. This possible way out stops von Neumann's chain and explains the real meaning of the concept of measurement.
