Here can “either” mean now or it can mean spatial location. It usually always means “both”.
In a virtual classroom, you can answer “present“ (regardless of spatial location, as long as there is temporal hereness) because it crosses the distance to where you are, no matter where you are in the universe.
That of course is mediated by the speed of light. Does that hold true at the quantum level?
There is a certain plausibility to what you say, but you really ought to address the Springsteen hypothesis, which asserts that the perceiving consciousness may experience a higher level of awareness by interaction with the presence of an ancillary consciousness.
