Here we derive the formalism of quantum theory from two intuitive principles: (i) inference is a physical process performed by physical systems, observers, which are part of the experimental setup--- this implies non-commutativity; (ii) experiments must be described from a first-person perspective--- this leads to self-reference, complementarity, and a picture of reality similar to that of some millenarian spiritual traditions . Quantum dynamics is the iterative construction of the observer's subjective state. Using available experimental data, we show the quantum of action is the result of the additional energy required to transition from unconscious to conscious perception.
