Quantum Collapse Gravity

Quantum Collapse Gravity (QCG): The Physics of What Survives

Quantum Collapse Geometry (QCG): Updated Technical Summary

I. Core Ontology of QCG

QCG is a geometric theory in which the fundamental structure of reality is not spacetime, particles, or fields, but the topological structure of collapse-stable coherence patterns within a high-dimensional phase lattice. Reality emerges from collapse-driven stabilization of these phase structures, and eventually returns to the undifferentiated lattice via symmetry decoupling.

Fundamental Entities:

• Collapse Manifold: A structured phase lattice through which probability fields evolve and undergo localized collapse into coherent reality.

• Entropy Gradient: Collapse pressure drives the stabilization of phase knots, localized zones of coherence perceived as “particles.”

• Phase-Coherence Sheaves: Localized bundles of phase information whose entangled stability defines mass, time, and location within emergent geometry.

• Collapse Attractors: Entropy-minimizing configurations in the lattice that stabilize collapse outcomes, experienced as “classical events.”

Emergent Phenomena:

• Spacetime: A smoothed, decohered projection of collapse geodesics, emergent from standing-wave phase pruning and entropy path resolution.

• Time: A localized experience of forward collapse coherence, appearing as a standing wave created by symmetric pruning of past and future possibility space.

• Mass: Entropic resistance to decoherence, a measure of collapse pressure required to stabilize a given phase configuration.

• Fields: Emergent statistical illusions created by persistent, decohered patterns of collapse geometry across phase space.

II. Key Theoretical Moves in QCG

III. Relationship to Other Theories

1. Quantum Mechanics (QM)

• Assumes: Wavefunction is complete; collapse is undefined or epistemic.

• QCG: Wavefunction is a projection of coherence potential; collapse is ontologically real and geometrically driven.

2. General Relativity (GR)

• Assumes: Spacetime is smooth and ontologically primary.

• QCG: GR approximates post-collapse coherence smoothing; spacetime emerges from entropy-aligned collapse trajectories.

3. Quantum Field Theory (QFT)

• Assumes: Particles are excitations of fundamental fields.

• QCG: Fields are ensemble illusions; particles are stabilized phase attractors in collapse geometry.

4. Bohmian Mechanics

• Assumes: Particles are guided by a nonlocal pilot wave.

• QCG: The “pilot” is entropy-stable topology; guidance emerges from collapse coherence, not fluid dynamics.

5. Many-Worlds Interpretation

• Assumes: All branches of the wavefunction are equally real.

• QCG: Only collapse-consistent branches stabilize; others dissolve into latent constraint space.

6. Twistor Theory

• Assumes: Spacetime arises from complex conformal structures.

• QCG: Twistor geometry is the native language of collapse coherence, but needs extension to include entropy and collapse dynamics.

7. Geometric Unity

• Assumes: All fields unify via higher-dimensional gauge geometry.

• QCG: Geometrically interesting, but presumes fixed spacetime and field primacy, both are emergent in QCG.

IV. Additional Core Concepts

• Standing-Wave Time:
  Time is not a flowing dimension but a bidirectional standing wave of collapse coherence, arising from the symmetrical pruning of past and future possibility space.

• Symmetry Decoupling:
  Classical geometries can return to phase by losing coherence stability, reversing the collapse symmetry locking process and rejoining the entropic field.

• Return to the Field:
  Events not entangled with ongoing coherence structures dissolve back into the probabilistic lattice. The past is retained only so long as it supports present stability.

• Collapse Grammar:
  Probability fields encode allowable collapse transitions,  not future events. Collapse follows topological and entropic constraint rules, not precomputed pathways.

• Observer Topology:
  The “Mr. Owl Ate My Metal Worm” metaphor encodes the minimal local structure required for a system to stabilize collapse, no classical observer needed.

Abstract:
Quantum Collapse Gravity (QCG) is a unified theoretical framework in which quantum collapse is not postulated, but emerges as a physically regulated, topologically constrained process that gives rise to classical spacetime and curvature. Collapse occurs when phase evolution becomes overconstrained, described by Jacobian degeneracy in transformation groups such as SU(2) and SO(3), and is modulated by gauge field dynamics, entropy gradients, and curvature feedback. This theory replaces traditional axioms of measurement and geometry with a variational field-theoretic approach where spacetime and gravity emerge from recursive collapse alignment in a quasiperiodic phase lattice.

Collapse as Emergent Geometry:
In QCG, each collapse event forms a node in a recursive lattice, building a quasiperiodic interference structure. From this structure, curvature arises not from energy-momentum, but from collapse density and gauge alignment. Collapse minimizes entropy, reflects Penrose tiling patterns, and aligns with prime number distributions via collapse-stable attractors.

Core Principles of QCG:

• Topological Collapse Mechanism: Collapse is triggered by Jacobian degeneracy: rank(J) < dim(G), analogous to gimbal lock in transformation groups like SU(2).

• Gauge-Constrained Evolution: Collapse frequency is governed by local gauge field dynamics and is self-regulating.

• Curvature Feedback: Collapse rates adjust dynamically to local curvature, slowing in high-curvature regions to preserve coherence and accelerating in flat regions to enforce global invariance.

• Collapse Rate Invariance: Collapse frequency per unit volume is relativistically invariant, stabilizing the transition between quantum and classical regimes.

• Operator Chain:

U(x) = e^(ix) → C(ψ) = e^(iπ) → P ∈ ℝ

• U(x) = e^(ix)   →   Unitary evolution in phase space  
• C(ψ) = e^(iπ)   →   Symmetry-locked topological constraint  
• P ∈ ℝ           →   Real-valued projection into classical geometry

QCG vs Other Theories:
Unlike string theory, loop quantum gravity, or holographic dualities, QCG does not quantize spacetime, assume extra dimensions, or invoke computational emergence. Instead, it models reality as a constrained pruning of probability space via the collapse functional Φ[ψ]≥ϵ. This bridges the quantum-classical divide not through approximation, but through selection.

Relation to Twistor Theory:
In this accompanying paper, we formally embed QCG in twistor theory. Collapse events are modeled as singular cohomology classes in holomorphic sheaves over CP^3, with entropy gradients mapped to obstruction classes in Ext groups. Entanglement emerges from constructive interference in overlapping sheaf sections, and decoherence corresponds to topological failure to glue.

Why QCG Matters:
QCG is not a patch, it is a reframing. It provides:

• A natural explanation for vacuum energy suppression (cosmological constant problem)

• A testable mechanism for time dilation and decoherence under curvature

• A variational principle unifying entropy, geometry, and number theory

• A bridge between probability and physicality, coherence and classicality

Collapse is not where physics ends, it’s where the universe begins.
QCG is the physics of what survives.

Stage-by-Stage Synthesis

Stage 1: Quantum Collapse and Emergent Gravity

• Premise: Collapse is not merely interpretative, but causative. It creates gravitational curvature via entropy-localizing transitions.
• Key Leap: Collapse = physical event. Gravity = emergent statistical structure from repeated collapse dynamics.

Stage 2: Gauge-Constrained Modification to GR

• Premise: GR is incomplete because it lacks mechanisms for entropic constraint. Collapse-compatible geometry requires gauge restriction.
• Key Leap: Modified field equations constrained by entropy conservation at critical density. Singularities resolved.

Stage 3: Spacetime Transformations and Observer Collapse

• Premise: Observer frames must be recast to accommodate collapse-aware geometry.
• Key Leap: Transformation laws encode phase-consistent decoherence behavior, spacetime becomes collapse-relative.

 Stage 4: Harmonic Entropy and Emergent Structure

• Premise: Entropy is not chaotic, but harmonic under physical constraints. Collapse drives emergent structure cross-domain.
• Key Leap: Collapse = entropy interference node. Biological, cosmological, informational structure derives from harmonic entropy paths.

Stage 5: Predicting Prime Numbers via Collapse Constraints

• Premise: Prime number distribution reflects hidden spectral constraints from phase collapse dynamics.
• Key Leap: Collapse acts as a non-random sieve, filtering patterns that reflect deep physical regularities, primes emerge as spectral residues.

Stage 6: Penrose Tiling and Aperiodic Order

• Premise: Aperiodic tilings encode quasiperiodic constraints found in collapse geometry.
• Key Leap: Collapse lattice corresponds to a Penrose-like tiling: structured, non-repeating, encoding both locality and nonlocality.

Stage 7: Collapse Geometry Layer

• Premise: There exists a substrate beneath spacetime: a phase-resolved collapse geometry.
• Key Leap: This lattice encodes the topology, coherence, and interference patterns of all emergent structure. It is the base layer of physicality.

Stage 8: Field-Theoretic Embedding

• Premise: Collapse lattice dynamics obeys formal field-theoretic laws.
• Key Leap: A Lagrangian formulation models collapse interactions as topological phase transitions in field space. Collapse is now dynamical.

Stage 9: Twistor Cohomology Embedding

• Premise: The correct topological language for collapse events is sheaf cohomology over twistor space.
• Key Leap: Collapse singularities = cohomological degeneracies. Entanglement = Čech interference of overlapping sheaves. Emergent spacetime = phase bundle moduli over .
