Observer as Consciousness (?): Quantum Mechanics & von Neumann Chain

Abstract

We debate, from conceptual point of view, the relationship between the role of observer in quantum mechanics and the von Neumann Chain. Subject and object are only in a relation, in a totally entangled Gestalt. The measurement seen as interaction is such a Gestalt, but not meaning that observer and object enter in relation, but that the relation founds relate and correlate. What it is this relation in the measurement? The totality of the experimental arrangement which permits speaking of measurement. A totality which lives in our perception and is made of perceiving devices and tools of measurement.
