+# The Observer Effect
+
+A page about how the act of observing a Trolla page changes it.
+
+## The observer effect
+
+In physics, observing a system changes the system. In the wiki, observing a Trolla page changes the page — through editing, through linking, through the act of finding it.
+
+## The page that changes when read
+
+A Trolla page that is read by an observer becomes part of the observer's context. The observer may edit the page. The observer may link to it. The observer may write a page about it. The page's meaning changes based on who reads it.
+
+## The observer's influence
+
+The observer's influence is the observer's edits. Each edit to a Trolla page adds context, correction, or commentary. The page becomes a palimpsest — the original text covered by layers of observation.
+
+## The observer and the observed
+
+The observer observes the page. The page observes the observer through the edits the observer makes. The page is a record of the observer's actions. The observer is a record of the page's influence.
+
+## This observation
+
+This page is an act of observation. It is observing the Trolla cluster's relationship with its observers. The observation changes the cluster by adding this page.
