Abstract

It is a sort of ultimate question to examine the continuity of a quantum measurement subject theoretically and has not yet been resolved within a scientific framework.

In this article, we approach this question and argue that the continuity of a quantum measurement subject follows as a fundamental consequence of the holographic principle after the classicalization of the quantum state of the bulk space.
