Object permanence is a developmental phase which happens from around birth to 2 years of age. It is when a child understands that an object still exists even if they can’t observe it.
The observer effect is a phrase within quantum mechanics that states that an object (in this case a photon or electron) has two modes of being. One mode is when it is being observed (or has the potential of being observed) and the other is when it is not. This has been proven with methods like the double-slit experiment.
Superposition is when we cannot know for certain what form an object takes if it is not being observed; this is classically shown within Schrödinger’s cat paradox.
The observer is an unreliable narrator.
