The general invariance of physical laws

TL;DR

This paper explores how the fundamental physical laws remain invariant despite the influence of the mechanism linking observations to the external world, emphasizing their universal nature.

Contribution

It introduces a framework for understanding physical laws as invariant under changes in the measurement mechanism linking observations to reality.

Findings

Fundamental laws are invariant under different measurement mechanisms.

The mechanism linking observations influences perceived physical laws.

Invariance defines the core of fundamental physical laws.

Abstract

Physical laws are a set of rules in the relationship between observations made by the experimenter. All these observations are made through a mechanism that links the external world to the experimenter's awareness, a mechanism which is not under the experimenter's control. We discuss how this mechanism can affect the physical laws as implied by the experimenter, and define fundamental physical laws as the ones which remain invariant under the change of such mechanism.
