Quantum Mirror Theory: A Unified Framework for Observer, Observation, and Reality

We present Quantum Mirror Theory, a novel interpretive framework for quantum mechanics that reconceptualizes the observer-observed relationship through the metaphor of reflection. Unlike prior interpretations that treat measurement as collapse (Copenhagen), universe-splitting (Many-Worlds), or hidden variable guidance (Pilot Wave), Mirror Theory proposes that observer and observed are the SAME ENTITY viewed from different perspectives across a "mirror boundary." We introduce the Mirror Equation |Ψ⟩ ≡ M|Ψ'⟩, where the identity operator ≡ indicates ontological sameness rather than mere equality. The Mirror Operator M satisfies M²=I (reflecting twice returns identity), M†=M (Hermitian/observable), and [M,Ĥ]=0…
