By "knowledge", I include any kind of record. Anything. Something different in the universe. Even if nobody actually looked at it, even if it wasn't actually recorded. Not magical human minds indeed; just that the measurement happened. Information created. However we like to word it. English isn't a great language for this. I suspect no language really suits.

Which isn’t very magical in itself.

Well, it's also supremely magical. That's the whole weirdness of it all.

I don’t think decoherence is magical, indeed it’s what happens every day all the time such that we never perceive quantum effects in our everyday lives!
You do realise the definition is "beautiful or delightful in a way that seems removed from everyday life"...seems like you're set on defining "magical" as "related to druids" lol, when nobody is using the term in that way.
