The deep problem in philosophy of mind is "naive realism" - the idea that what we see is a direct image of the world. Rovelli does not address this problem but seems to assume that our Experience is on a direct route that simply funnels data through the brain and back out into the world (ie: he is a naive realist).
When you look at this screen there are two sets of things happening. The first is reflexes so that your pupils might constrict and you will have saccades to gather data from small areas. The second is that you integrate the saccadic data into a virtual reality. The virtual reality is at least 0.5 seconds late compared with the objective state of the image.
This means that our current Experience already contains decohered data. A wavefunction of electrons will decohere the moment a photon from it hits the eye, at least 0.5 secs before it is observed.
