observables
Things we measure
Observable things are those that can be observed—seen, measured, or detected.
In physics, observables are quantities that can be measured: position, momentum, energy.
The term is central to quantum mechanics, where the act of measuring an observable affects the system being measured.
In programming, observables are data streams that emit values over time, allowing code to react to changes: The component subscribes to the observable and updates when new data arrives.
