Anthropic Modal Collapse

Abstract

The Anthropic Modal Collapse principle offers a potential resolution to this issue by introducing an observer-dependent collapse of the infinite possibilities into a structured system. The collapse occurs because only those worlds that are compatible with conscious observation are logically coherent or relevant in our modal reasoning. Thus, the number and diversity of possible worlds are constrained by the very fact that a conscious observer exists to perceive and interpret them.
