Abstract

Any observation process can be considered as a decoding problem in the broad sense of this term, insofar as we are identifying an object of our real universe, which is encoded by a formal representation. In most cases, this observation involves subjectivity, the latter being considered the result of interactions between prior internal definition and posterior measurement. Our purpose in the present chapter is to derive a quantitative model for this subjectivity in the form of various weighting coefficients.
