## 3.21 The observer / anthropic / fine-tuning
The constants permit complexity; the observer is entangled with what is observed. **Sources:** Carter; Barrow & Tipler; Rees (*Just Six Numbers*); Wheeler ("it from bit," participatory universe); Paul Davies. **Domains:** cosmology, philosophy. **Dual:** — . **Tier:** T3 (interpretation). **Falsifier:** hard — this is *why* it stays a priced, load-optional node. **Maps:** A₂'s carried metaphysical node, A₈, the cosmic loop. **Handle exactly as A₂ instructs: named, typed, carried — never smuggled in as T1.**
