Observer effect modulates classification in a quantum epistemic framework (opens in new tab)

The observer effect in quantum physics states that observation inevitably influences the system being observed. This work introduces an epistemic framework that treats the observer as an integral part of sensory information processing within entangled quantum systems, leading to subjective and probabilistic observation and inference. We propose fuzzy instance classification by encoding sensory input to align with the observer’s pre-existing beliefs in a feature–attribute–truth value hierarchi...
