CHAPTER

Equivalence and Observers in Physics

The chapter explores the concept of equivalence and observation in the realms of quantum computing and physics, discussing how humans interact with multiple possible histories to create a singular thread of experience. It delves into the challenges of presenting complex quantum computations in a comprehensible manner and how human perception is influenced by sensory abilities and sizes in perceiving the physical world. The conversation highlights the role of observers in shaping our understanding of the universe and recent breakthroughs in linking observer characteristics to the precise laws of physics.
