(Wigner’s friend → perspectival construal of readiness cuts)
At the edge of the grove stood a narrow observatory tower. Inside, Liora met a quiet scholar who had just witnessed a tiny readiness cut occur within a delicate apparatus. She described the event to Liora with certainty.
Moments later, Wigner himself arrived outside the tower and, not having looked in, spoke as if the system were still un-actualised.
To Liora, it seemed a contradiction—two descriptions of the same situation.
But the scholar shook her head gently.
“We are not describing the same readiness,” she said.
“We are making different construal-cuts.”
Inside the tower, the scholar’s constraints were tighter; she had more ability to discriminate, more interaction with the system’s structure.
Wigner, outside, had less.
No paradox.
Just two different relationships to the field of readiness—no collapse, no contradiction, just perspectival shifts.
Liora felt a subtle relief:
The world did not fracture under description.
Descriptions simply hold different cuts.
