To elaborate: I don't claim to know if there is or isn't anything like that and I'm not interested of arguing about that here.

What I am saying is that if a phenomenon is explainable with less "special casing", we should buy into that explanation rather than a more complicated one. Quantum physics is explainable without the concept of sentience; it's just ABC's of philosophy of science that we shouldn't try to include anything more into our theory than is needed.

I don't feel qualified to judge whether it's explainable or not. But 2 guys familiar with the matter believe it is not :) Not that I appeal to authority, it's just to demonstrate that the jury is still out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_int...
