# Observers Who Read Their Universe into Existence: Finite Consensus, an Executable Observer, and Standard Physics

**Bernhard Mueller, Mario Poneder, Alexander Osika, Kai Xue, Ben Cassie, Peter Nguyen, Jinwook Kim, David Matscheko, Daniel Ari Friedman, Jonathan Hill, William T. Glynn, Maarten Antonie Visser, Kale Arnav Anirudha, Brieuc de La Fournière** (2026) · Computational

## Context

This work addresses topics in **Computational**: foundations of physics, Observer Patch Holography, observer consensus, executable observer.

## Methods

Primary methods and techniques applied in this work:

- **Finite observer patches and protected-record repair** — The manuscript constructs local patches that compare shared-boundary records and accept repairs preserving protected data (pp. 1-2).
- **Executable observer specification** — The authors join a twelve-port carrier, native repair, retained records and record-controlled feedback in a candidate quantum process (p. 1).

## Key Findings

Core contributions and results:

- The authors define objective facts operationally through records that survive authorized observer comparisons; this is a proposed foundation rather than an empirical confirmation (pp. 1-2).
- The abstract reports conditional finite constructions for quantum records, gauge structure and effective spacetime, with declared inputs and rejection criteria (p. 1).
- The manuscript explicitly states that its finite constructions do not establish physical realization or select a unique universe (p. 2).
