An Ontological Completion of Geometric Quantum Mechanics

Decades of work in geometric quantum mechanics and decoherence theory have clarified how quantum behaviour arises from underlying symplectic and dynamical structures, yet both leave unresolved why measurements yield definite outcomes with |ψ|² frequencies. This paper proposes a deterministic geometric account that retains the strengths of those approaches while eliminating the need for stochastic collapse or multiple-world postulates. The result is a unified description in which observed statistics follow from conserved geometry rather than from probabilistic axioms.

Physical reality is represented by a single trajectory ω(t) evolving under Hamiltonian flow on a compact symplectic manifold Σ. Interaction with an environment imposes new constraints that dynamically partition Σ into isolated outcome regions {Ωᵢ}, whose invariant volume ratios μ(Ωᵢ)/μ(Ω₀) reproduce Born weights. Outcome definiteness arises from trajectory confinement within an isolated region, and the framework predicts a quantitative correspondence between interference visibility and system isolation (V = I).

The paper establishes a complete ontological basis for deterministic quantum measurement, defines how isolation and re-isolation govern the appearance of classicality, and clarifies compliance with Bell, Kochen–Specker, Fine, and PBR constraints. It shows that a finite, measure-preserving geometry can reproduce the statistical structure of quantum theory while remaining open to empirical refutation. This framework, termed Constraint-Surface Dynamics, thus offers a deterministic and falsifiable alternative foundation for quantum mechanics.
