Which is another way of saying that reality is invented.
"Measuring" is applying our sensors onto the external reality and producing a map of what is observed in the form of thoughts, ideas, imagery - 'perception'.
But since the sensors are also part of reality, which does not exist before sensing it, it can be postulated that what is perceived is not a consequence of reality hitting the sensors, but the result of a new thought about reality being perceived, or simply - an invention.
That is, reality (including your body, brain and you) is the product of a thought process, but (here's the interesting part) the thinker is you and not you at the same time, or rather - the thinker is you and every other being.
That thinker is called God. Or Universe or whatever you want to call the thing or being that is the eternal recursive loop of self-invention / self-perception.
Of course very hard to put into language, but easily grokked under psychedelics.
It's interesting that science (and math) is slowly pointing towards this conclusion too, a thing that many great scientists arrived at intuitively.
