    "abstract": "We study the process of observation (measurement), within the framework of a\n`perspectival\u0027 (`relational\u0027, `relative state\u0027) version of the modal\ninterpretation of quantum mechanics. We show that if we assume certain features\nof discreteness and determinism in the operation of the measuring device (which\ncould be a part of the observer\u0027s nerve system), this gives rise to classical\ncharacteristics of the observed properties, in the first place to spatial\nlocalization. We investigate to what extent semi-classical behavior of the\nobject system itself (as opposed to the observational system) is needed for the\nemergence of classicality. Decoherence is an essential element in the mechanism\nof observation that we assume, but it turns out that in our approach no\nenvironment-induced decoherence on the level of the object system is required\nfor the emergence of classical properties.",
