HS: I guess I completely failed to get across in my paper the central point of orthodox (Copenhagen and vN) quantum theory, which is that it is explicitly about the conscious experiences of human beings, as they are described in the way that we normally describe our experiences to ourselves and to each other. The theory is about our experiences and our knowledge, without needing to define it any more than to say that it consists of our thoughts, ideas, and feelings ...
So I guess there is none of this quantum Zeno effect stuff going on in any organisms except H. sapiens. I swear I've never read anything about Copenhagen being explicitly about consciousness.
