Wheeler cleverly illustrated his viewpoint using a variation of 20 questions dubbed “negative 20 questions.” In this version, the questioner Bob interacts with Alice, who has not pre-selected an object. Alice’s answers construct a reality based solely on Bob's inquiries, showcasing how the act of questioning defines the state of existence. Thus, the universe becomes an extensive interactive game, where the reality we perceive aligns with the questions we pursue.
This leads to the notion of a “participatory universe,” where reality is interwoven by the intricate dance between observers and the observed. In this realm, interaction is not merely a visual act but rather a fundamental force that shapes existence.
