Decoherence acts as the agent protecting our daily-life experience from too much quantum weirdness, resolving the conundrum of how classical experience emerges in a quantum measurement.

Consequently, from the perspective of the local observer, who can’t oversee the entire universe, information is dispersed into her unknown environment.
