“The observing mind is not a physical system, it cannot interact with any physical system.”
Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961) Austrian physicist
Nature and the Greeks (1954)
Context: The observing mind is not a physical system, it cannot interact with any physical system.

The trick-mirror of finitude was smashed, Bruno laughed, the starry realms were a jewelled bracelet in the hand.
