Presumably, upon decoherence, there must be an exchange of particles to announce the "pointer states" to an otherwise disorganized universe. From my long-ago military days, I suggest the term guide-ons. Everything that pops into reality sends out a growing ripple of guide-ons, and everything that exists lives in a "guide-on field." Gee, this is fun!

"I suggest the term guide-ons."

I dunno. When I was a teenager, and just learning about quantum, I misread the term "hadron" as "hardon."
I was giggling for days until I realized my mistake.

Ah, the wonders of selective dyslexia...
