You will rapidly expose my amateur knowledge of these matters! I am interpreting the HUP just as a limit example of the observer effect, meaning that while causality must operate, the act of looking for it obliterates the trace. I will leave it to the physicists to discuss hidden variables as that is beyond my competence. Is it correct that this apparent limit to our perception creates a blockage regarding the integration of the four forces into a grand unified theory?
