Announcement: Welcome. I have now added labels so you can filter according to level of difficulty. This is based on how I think a layman might view them. Please find the labels on the right hand column (of web version).

The Observer Effect
The observer effect is a phenomena in physics where just from the act of observation, the experimental results are changed. It is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. The instruments used to measure the data, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some way. I want to use this effect as an analogy of how, human being as actors, modify the situation, since we, like the observer, insert ourselves into the space of action, hence changing the space of action. The elements in that space react to us, as we react to them.
