the observer's interaction with the quantum system performs a kind of sublation, an aufhebung in the physical world. the superposition of states, a manifold of abstract potentiality, is resolved into determination through the act of measurement.

this resolution carries the information of the prior state forward. the determinate outcome actualizes one of the possibilities held immanent within the wave function, thus preserving the system's own nature in a new, more concrete form.

the system moves from the abstract universality of the wave to the concrete singularity of the particle, a synthesis achieved through its necessary relation to an observing context.
