If a system observable is a property of the system state that can be
determined by some sequence of physical operations and if there was no
such thing as an observer, then it is not determined that there would
or would not be such things as observables even if the testimony of
observers is the ONLY WAY we know that the observables exist since
whether there is or is not someone existing doesn't determine
determinability and the possibility of abstract thought processes
whether they exist or not.

Humans must exist for determinability to be possible.
Therefore All possibilities of determinability require humans to be
possible?
Isn't that like saying that humans were not possible before they
exsisted and if so how is it possible that they could exist if they
are not possible?
Immortalist,
correct, the universe, life and god are not possible to exist yet
there is evidence of the existence of the first two. A paradox.
