Aims: We argue that the choice of a specific qualitative–quantitative set of variables in a model by a conscious observer fundamentally limits the achievable accuracy of the measurement process.
Place and Duration of Study: Mechanical & Refrigeration Consultation Expert, between January 2020 and July 2020.
Methodology: Using the concept of “finite information quantities” introduced by Gisin, we try to present it as a practical tool in science and engineering in calculating the proximity indicator of a model to the phenomenon being studied.
Results: The formulated metric (comparative uncertainty) allows us to set the optimal achievable uncertainty of the model and to confirm the impossibility of implementing the principle of infinite precision.
Conclusion: Any attempt to search for a universal physical theory must consider the uncertainty caused by the observer’s vision and the working of the human brain.
An overview is presented in which visual awareness is regarded as the epitome of the general mind—body problem. An experimental solution of the problem is considered first, followed by a philosophical outlook. It is argued that the scientific approach may eventually discover the neural correlate of visual awareness, but visual perceptions, even simple qualia like ‘brightness’ or ‘color’, occur in the mind of a conscious observer and are not reducible to observable activity of a specific set of neurons in the brain.
