Addendum: An Entropic Bridge Model (EBM) Connecting Geometric Entropy (FPISBS) and First-Passage Dynamics (EDFPM)

An Entropic Bridge Model (EBM), that outlines a minimalist theoretical model designed to bridge two novel, independently developed frameworks for the quantum to classical transition: the Finite Path Integrals on Stochastic Branched Structures (FPISBS) model and the Event Driven First Passage Model (EDFPM). The former provides a geometric and entropic basis for why collapse occurs, while the latter offers a statistical and operational description of how and when it manifests. We demonstrate that the core statistical functions of the EDFPM can be derived as emergent properties of the foundational entropic principles of the FPISBS, suggesting a deep and compelling synthesis between the two approaches.
