All actions are performed in a subjective context. Contingent absolutes, possibly.

    IMHO Wheeler was mistaking causation for a foundation of reality.

Conceptual coin flip. One could counter by challenging the notion of "causality". A choice to be made is a Given. :)

Do multiple observers confound both scenarios? For the first, there is an inescapable (even predictable) rhyme in experience, and for the second, who's choice?

You mean multiple subjective sentients? Apparently depends on their "moral character".

    Godel felt that this key "would give a person who understood it such power that you could only entrust the knowledge of this philosopher's key to people of high moral character."
