    "abstract": "The relation between quantum measurement and thermodynamically irreversible\nprocesses is investigated. The reduction of the state vector is fundamentally\nasymmetric in time and shows an observer-relatedness which may explain the\ndouble interpretation of the state vector as a representation of physical\nstates as well as of information about them. The concept of relevance being\nused in all statistical theories of irreversible thermodynamics is shown to be\nbased on the same observer-relatedness. Quantum theories of irreversible\nprocesses implicitly use an objectivized process of state vector reduction. The\nconditions for the reduction are discussed, and I speculate that the final\n(subjective) observer system might even be carried by a spacetime point.",
