This makes me think about Theravada Buddhism's idea of cittakkhana - it's like the smallest possible moment of conscious experience. The idea is that time isn't smooth and continuous, it just seems that way unless we can concentrate very very deeply. Then we'll notice that experience is a series of tiny moments, and conscious experience is the perceived aggregate of these blinking in and out instants of time.

We really need to stop using observation to mean a person looking at something. In this context its literally any physical interaction, juat think its important to highlight as some people get the idea agency is needed to collapse the wave function.
