Quantum mechanics is reformulated, in a way which eliminates its present dependence on the special treatment of observation of a system by an external observer.

The physical "reality" is assumed to be the wave function of the whole universe itself.

As an analogy one can imagine an intelligent amoeba with a good memory. As time progresses the amoeba is constantly splitting, each time the resulting amoebas having the same memories as the parent. Our amoeba hence does not have a life line, but a life tree.
