I would call that an observer of some kind.

I actually have some ideas as I spend a rather unhealthy amount of freetime thinking of quantum mechanics. While not at all being a proper scientist but i have come to perceive the concept of a blended multiverse.

When you are in a room alone, there are tons of things you could be doing. You become slightly dis-entangled from the world. You only experience one slice, the thing you know you are doing, but actually exists in superposition from the perspective of the rest of the world. At the same time the rest of the world exists in a state of superposition towards you. When you break your isolation and interact with the world in any way your experienced slice of reality becomes entangled to a slice of reality that is the rest of the world.

But the entanglement is a spectrum. Even alone in a room you still know that you are on earth and that gravity exists. You are entangled to you awareness so whatever infinite amount of things you could do, flying is not one of them. Except in a slice reality where its normal for gravity to not exists. But you, nor the rest of the world can interact with that specific slice. Our consciousness has evolved to perceive reality as if it makes sense with our primitive capacity, we can not perceive reality outside of what we all entangled consciousness networks within a context system understand as shared coherent reality.

When a friend group splits up each member could lead many different lives, all of those exist in superposition . But when you get back together to talk about old times in that moment of that conversation most of those different version of their lives are unified and entangled into one slice again. Then when they start talking about the rest of their lives you entangle to that one slice of their multiverse lives.

Anyway this is oversimplified of my actual ideas and again i am not an accomplished scientist. I do not take myself too serious about these things but i love conceptualising all of It.

Penrose published a book on it in 1989.

For literal decades the only thing that ruled it out was the ability for quantum entanglement in the brain. Less than 2 years ago we proved not only was that possible, but quantum super position could be sustained for as long as we're awake.

It's a pretty safe time to be confident, even without accounting for Penrose being the literal smartest person on the planet.

Like, I'm not big on "appeals to authority" but if Sir Roger Penrose spends 37 years saying something is true, and just continually gets proven more right over the decades...

It's not as far reaching as you seem to believe.

Like, gravity is just a theory too, shit is harder than people realize it is to prove.

If they see the message arrive, it has already been sent (and received). Not seeing it get sent yet doesn't mean it hasn't happened yet. You're not accounting for the frame of reference translation involved. Some of the information in your example has travel time. None of that information starts traveling before the things that created that information occurred, though. Even if it might look like that from some perspectives. It won't look like that to others.
