"But it seems clear to me the universe has not been constructed according to such observational processes, for the stupid simple reason that human observers did not emerge until quite late in the evolutionary process. Therefore the origin and evolution of the universe must be independent of human beings."

Briefly then, the 'Observer Problem' is the observer's problem; not a problem for the universe?

Briefly, I'd say that is the case, YHAOS. FWIW. But details will have to wait for another time. I'm so tired, tomorrow's another workday, and so I must go to bed.

Thank you so much for writing, YHAOS. God bless you, and good night!!!
