Gribbin (1990: 251):
According to my interpretation of the many–worlds theory, the future is not determined, as far as our conscious perception of the world is concerned, but the past is. By the act of observation we have selected a "real" history out of the many realities, and once someone has seen a tree in our world it stays there even when no-one is looking at it. This applies all the way back to the Big Bang.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, by the act of observation we have construed experience as one instance of meaning out of the many potential meanings. Whether or not experience is construed as a tree depends on an observer doing so.
