am somewhat familiar with quantum theory. How does it apply when that which changes is not being observed by the changer? Why is the change instant? If you were applying the Butterfly Effect I could more easily understand.
Merlin…The butterfly effect was borne of chaos theory. If I we are on the same page, the QM events in a closed reference frame or system (such as an dual slit (photon) experiment)the photon is said to be in a state of superposition. ie neither a wave or particle but an "neither or state"

But for real world ordinary sized events, and concering your query, the easiest way to envision it is to think of nothing changing until you make conicious decision, in other words the universe runs normally and by the rules and destiny that your last conscious decision or act caused.

Did I answer your question?
