The Quantum Ground: Sequenced Excitations, Information Emergence, and Cross-Scale Coherence

This paper introduces the Quantum Ground framework, an observational ontology extending the Imprint Hypothesis, Detector-Plane Imaging (DPI), and the Quantum Measurement Stack (QMS). The framework proposes that physical reality may be understood through the inseparable coexistence of spacetime, quantum fields, and energy, collectively described as the Quantum Ground. Within this substrate, particles emerge as localized excitation events, wave-like phenomena arise as contextual imprints, and information emerges through the sequencing of excitation histories.

The framework introduces the concepts of Sequenced Excitations, Information as Preserved Sequencing, and Cross-Scale Coherence as a unified vocabulary connecting quantum phenomena, measurement, and emergent macroscopic structure. No new physical laws are proposed, and the framework remains fully compatible with Quantum Field Theory, decoherence theory, the Imprint Hypothesis, Detector-Plane Imaging, and the Quantum Measurement Stack.
