Observation Dharma is the idea of one's purpose being to act as a lens and recorder into existence through experiencing it. Even failure at one's proximate objectives meet observation dharma, though ideally such failures are visible for intelligent beings so that they can make informed choices about the Universe. At the least, others with this purpose can more efficiently cover the space of things possible.

At least one kind of participant in Multicellular Mankind has observation dharma explicitly: explorers. But all actions that one can take could be this since all actions explore the space of things possible in the Universe. The geneto-memetic ecosystem does mean that chronicling sensitive information in a proximate effort to be observable can lead to an ultimate defeat in the objective of exploration. Therefore, strict adherence to complete transparency isn't required.
