[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7732346, member: 6775031"] If something exists within the game world, then there is a definite height which it has [I]within the game world[/I]. As the GM and setting-designer, you know what that height is. You [I]must[/I] know it, in case it becomes relevant. If one of the PCs uses [I]any[/I] method to measure it, then you need to know what to tell them, based on the reality which is known to you and the uncertainty involved in their method. What you are describing is not an objective reality. It is not a world like our own world, or like any conceivable world. It is Schroedinger's world. It is a meaningless story construct, for perpetuating meaningless stories. The truth of the situation must be fixed, regardless of the quality of the observation. That is how [I]any[/I] reality must operate. A fluctuating quantum reality, where you can [I]causally[/I] change the fundamental nature of a wall by attempting to climb it, would be an absurd place and is not worth discussion. You may have been playing games for longer than I have, but I doubt that you've been role-playing for any significant period of that.
