Abstract

This document is a response to a previous article discussing the Wigner's friend experiment and the FR experiment. It introduces a no-go theorem that states that no physical theory can accurately model the FR experiment while following certain reasoning rules. The document also presents a simple experiment called the Learned Prediction Experiment to illustrate these reasoning rules. However, recent works have criticized the validity of these reasoning rules. The text explores the concept of reasoning rules in the context of thought experiments and proposes restrictions on their use. It also suggests a list of criteria for modified reasoning rules and encourages further research using computational and theoretical tools. [Extracted from the article]
