Observer-Conditioned Behaviour in Institutional Systems: A Structural Analogy to Quantum Measurement

This publication presents the hypothesis that institutional systems exhibit observer‑conditioned behaviour structurally analogous to observer‑conditioned outcomes in quantum experiments. It proposes that both systems operate under conditional‑behaviour rules, where the behaviour expressed depends on the conditions of observation. In institutional contexts, this manifests as unobserved, observed, and observer‑dependent modes that change according to who is watching and from where. The work outlines the information‑sensitivity mechanism behind this mirroring and suggests that the analogy provides a new framework for modelling institutional loops, contradictions, and escalation patterns. The hypothesis is intended as a conceptual foundation for further study of observer‑dependent behaviour in complex systems.
