Can you elaborate on that a little? What's the issue that needs tackling?
And, since relational quantum mechanics is an interpretation, it gives
the same predictions as regular quantum mechanics, or rather, makes
no predictions apart from those already made by regular quantum mechanics.
Are you saying that it gives us a better way to interpret the results
of experiments with superposed observers?
