Hi Stephen
Alas, I am a mere engineer, not a philosopher. The only author I can
point you to is John Locke who I was told had some view similar to the
ones I expressed. I have formed my opinions mostly independently in the
process of writing a book (unpublished :'( ) I think that science is
moving gradually toward first person - starting with Galileo's
relativity, then Einstein's relativity and finally with QM (MWI). As
science had progressed, the observer has acquired a greater and greater
importance. Extrapolating to the limit, "I" becomes central and its
existence anthropically defines (creates) the world where it resides.
