abstract
Quantum gravity is expected to introduce quantum aspects into the description of reference frames. Here we set the stage for exploring how quantum gravity induced deformations of classical symmetries could modify the transformation laws among reference frames in an effective regime. We invoke the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ as a description of deformed spatial rotations and interpret states of a representation of its algebra as describing the relative orientation between two reference frames. This leads to a quantization of one of the Euler angles and to the new paradigm of agency-dependence: space is reconstructed as a collection of fuzzy points, exclusive to each agent, which depends on their choice of reference frame. Each agent can choose only one direction in which points can be sharp, while points in all other directions become fuzzy in a way that depends on this choice. Two agents making different choices will thus observe the same points with different degrees of fuzziness.

Indefinite probabilities in quantum spacetime: A deepening of unpredictability
Using the SU_q(2) quantum group for spin rotations yields non-commuting probability operators, implying indefinite probabilities and preventing sharp determination of relative observer orientations.

Doubly Quantum Mechanics
Replacing SU(2) with SU_q(2) turns measurement probabilities into operators and makes reference-frame alignment between two observers fundamentally imprecise even in the limit of infinitely many exchanged spins.

Bias in Local Spin Measurements from Deformed Symmetries
Local spin measurements on the U_q(su(2)) deformed singlet are biased unless observables are R-matrix-dressed; the claimed unbiased fix is not supported by the paper's own equations.
