They seem of similar magnitude to me. Remember I'm asking for an > explanation of *this*.

Simple rule linking observers to observations. X can only experience worlds (collections of observations) whose existence is consistent with the observer's existence. Let me drill down a bit more into this. We can take for granted that when we observe some X, we are also observing ourselves in the act of observing X. It is a Lob theorem kinda thing. Prof. Standish was right about ants! There is no consciousness without self-awareness! Also, disallowing ghost prohibits the possibility of observing a world "from the outside".
