According to a prediction of "It<Bit", a theory of the creation of matter
from information proposed by Wheeler,
the properties or measure of particles vanish in between observations.
Its measure upon detection-observation is determined by the binary question
asked by the observer.
If the same question is asked by every MWI observer, an unchanged world
with the expected measures is maintained.
This would amount to a controlled experiment.
Say have half the observers ask a different question and flip back and
forth (for detection of the resulting signal)..
Is that arithmetically possible.
