This then means the measurement process is self-referential and could be said to be not computable by quantum means. In this way we have on some fundamental level a failure of any axiomatic description of so called collapse, or eigenbranching in MWI or all mechanisms proposed by quantum interpretations. In this sense I see self-reference in physics; it is what takes place with any fundamental decoherence of a wave function, which if some IGUS or intelligent being is involved we call it an observation.
