This document discusses modeling observers as physical systems that represent the world from within. It argues that quantum theory can be derived from two principles: inference as a physical process performed by observers, and experiments described from a first-person perspective. This leads to non-commutativity, self-reference, complementarity and an iterative construction of the observer's subjective state. The approach provides insights into conceptual issues in quantum foundations and suggests experimental conjectures regarding the quantum of action and single photon observation.
