Quantum Collapse on Simultaneity Surfaces: A Framework for Relativistic Measurement Geometry

Time-Surface Collapse Principle proposes a geometrically localized interpretation of quantum measurement collapse. Instead of treating collapse as an abstract or timeless event, the model defines it as occurring at a specific point in spacetime — precisely where the observer’s simultaneity surface intersects the quantum probability distribution.

 

The approach draws from both quantum theory and special relativity, formalizing collapse localization using a surface integral. It introduces a frame-dependent interpretation of collapse, compatible with Lorentz geometry, and reframes the measurement event as embedded in the observer’s own coordinate system.

 

The paper includes a comparative analysis of existing interpretations (e.g., Rovelli’s relational quantum mechanics, Kent’s models, GRW) and proposes that this framework may complement — rather than replace — current views. It concludes with testable implications and possible relevance for quantum gravity research.
