Comment on Evans (2025): Relational Realism and Finite Informationality in the Context of Subjective Physics
Description
This brief scientific comment addresses the conceptual overlap between Peter W. Evans’ article “Is Quantum Mechanics Merely a Theory for us?.” (Foundations of Physics, 55, 77, 2025, DOI: 10.1007/s10701-025-00887-6) and the previously published Subjective Physics framework (Khomyakov, 2025).
The note clarifies that key elements of Evans’ “agent-centric” interpretation — such as relational ontology, finite informational capacity of observers, and consensus through shared sensory structures — were already formalized in the Operational Quantum Foundations and Cognitive Phase Law papers (Zenodo DOIs: 10.5281/zenodo.17139825, 10.5281/zenodo.16917758).
This comment is published to ensure scientific transparency and to document the precedence of formal theoretical work defining finite informational alignment and observer consensus.
Keywords: quantum foundations, relational ontology, subjective physics, finite informationality, observer consensus, cognitive phase law, research ethics, priority clarification.
