Intermolecular Forces and Observational Coherence

The force exerted by a gas on a piston is the result of individual molecules bouncing off the surface of the piston, transferring momentum to it. The piston moves as a single rigid object due to the strong intermolecular forces inside it. This phenomenon repeats in different scenarios where transduction couples the elements being observed to the observer, aggregating their effects. In the case of vision, photons hitting photoreceptor cells generate electrical signals sent to the brain.
