Hi nikaj, thank you I really enjoyed writing it that was kind of its own reward:) The observer as the observed reminds me of a limerick by a philosopher I really like Alan W. Watts; 

 “There was a young man who said though, it seems that I know that I know, but what I would like to see is the I that knows me when I know that I know that I know.”

Still I must agree the question you pose is quite hard to answer. The observer as the observed is like a knife that cuts itself or a fire that burns itself or a mirror that reflects itself.  Arhg this is not a satisfying answer either, I will think about this some more!:) Thanks for your reply<3
