So any sane person will immediately recognize this sounds crazy.
However, epistemologically it might be sound, I've been thinking about this for a while now. Mainly because of the simple potential well problem and considering Hegelian epistemology.
The particle form isn't determined until it is measured, this is okay in regular epistemology and transcendental idealism. Not an issue, all appearances are human activities anyways created by our limited senses and tools.
But the amazing thing is that the particle still complies with our concept of causality despite not yet existing (its probabilities are completely dependent on potential energy)!
There are several theories to try to reconcile this. Real many-worlds theory, holographic universe, superdeterminism, single-electron etc. But all of these have either epistemological issues or cannot account for all phenomena.
This has led me to what I think is the most satisfying interpretation so far, which I call retroactive superdeterminism (RS).
In RS in order to resolve the problem of maintaining causality for an object which does not exist, on information of the appearance of the particle which may otherwise contradict causality, the mind changes the entire history of the world so to be that the particle existed the entire time with defined position and momentum, thereby producing causality. Thereby saving the mental framework we have on all things (phenomenology).
In this way the universe 'learns' but of course it is merely the ensemble of the appearances of the world and their properties that are changing as a result of that mental activity, which from one perspective can be argued that the universe is learning.
