Can a question create reality?

This is something I've been wondering lately:Can a question—or observation itself—bring reality into being, rather than just reveal it?

A recent paper I came across explores this idea from a scientific angle. It suggests that "reality" might not be fully real until there's a certain structural correlation between the observer and what is being observed.

That sounds abstract, I know. But in this view, observation isn't just passive—it helps stabilize what we call reality.

I wrote a short essay (in English) summarizing the idea:👉 https://medium.com/@takamii26_37/do-questions-create-reality-on-observation-reality-and-the-shape-of-consciousness-7a9a425d2f41

Would love to hear what others think. Does this resonate with any philosophical frameworks you know of?
