Nature makes the choice."

(1) Free will and Quantum Mechanics with Henry Stapp see min 33:44 "Nature makes the choice."
[Which is locality.The observer is Nature, not the experimenter nor the electron.]


(2) That is straight Neo Platonic thought--the observer is the Logos--not the individual.
(3) What the individual sees is  representation of reality. Pixels on a screen. What do the pixels represent? Hermitian matrices on a Hilbert Space..

That is a kind of matrix that stays the same if you flip it over and every "i" you turn to a "-i." And the Hilbert Space simply has a linear inner product defined on it.

The hermitian matrix is really a tensor. It has different values according to which direction it is pointed. So it is not a vector. But it might be made up of lots of vectors (forces whose value depends on direction). [Think of a corner stone in a building. At a single point the stresses and strains with will be different depending on direction.]
Anyway--these are the things that are real. What we see are merely representations. As Kant said the dinge an sich is hidden. But Schopenhauer thought there is only one real Ding an sich the Will. The rest of reality is a representation of that Ding an sich.
 (4) And that brings us to Hegel that there is a hierarchy with each level being a representation of the previous one. [Not thesis anti thesis synthesis which appears no where in Hegel and is not even an accurate representation of his thought. Rather he thought the concept internally had some self contradiction in potential that needed resolution. Not some anti thesis coming from without.]
