Rubber Glove Sequence:
"So we find that complementarity is even more complex; that there had to be not only the keyhole, but that the keyhole had to be in something. The keyhole that was in something had to be related to the rest of the Universe. So then we had a rubber glove which was stripped off this hand, which we called the left hand, fairly ignorantly, and now it fits the other hand. So where has the other one gone? Then I strip it off here and there goes the other hand.
“Quite clearly, both were there all the time, but only one of them could we detect. So there is not only the glove, which could have a keyhole, and we could put the key in that, but it would have to be in something of the rest of the Universe as well as the system we can see by. There’s always a conceptual system, and there’s the rest of the Universe which is nonconceptual because it’s a scenario Universe and not a single frame Universe.”
