GR–QM–CCC Interpenetrating Closure: Projection-Compressed Observability, Residual Coherence, and Realization Accessibility

Jimmy Chen

This work develops a GR–QM–CCC interpenetrating framework within Causal Cloud Cosmology (CCC). Rather than treating general relativity, quantum mechanics, and CCC as mutually exclusive systems, this paper interprets them as different observable layers of continuously accumulated realizable structure. General relativity is preserved as the observable-regime description of curvature geometry. Quantum mechanics is preserved as the predictive framework for observable quantum evolution, probabilities, interference, measurement outcomes, and statistical manifestation. CCC provides an interpretive layer for residual structural continuity, projection-compressed observability, and realization accessibility across observable manifestation regimes. Within this framework, entanglement, interference, decoherence, delayed-choice behavior, weak measurement, localization, temporal observability, cold atom localization, large-molecule interference, and classical emergence are interpreted as observable manifestation regimes under projection-compressed accessibility. Observable fragmentation does not necessarily imply structural fragmentation. Projection compression modifies observable accessibility rather than destroying accumulated realizable structure itself. Residual coherence may remain partially preserved even when local observable manifestation becomes strongly localized or decohered. The paper introduces and organizes key GR–QM–CCC concepts including observable quantum manifestation, residual coherence, realization accessibility, temporal observability, projection-compressed classicality, accessibility-stabilized localization, and unified observable closure. This work does not claim to replace general relativity or quantum mechanics. Instead, it proposes a conservative structural interpretation in which GR describes observable geometry, QM predicts observable manifestation, and CCC interprets residual continuity and realization accessibility across projection-compressed observable regimes.

Relational Composite Quantum Mechanics: An Information-Theoretic Interpretation Based on Local Observer Consistency

Abel Liu

We propose a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, the core idea of which is that quantum superposition states are not mysterious physical entities, but rather the joint distribution of classical information obtained by local observers in a composite system. We assume that all systems are equivalent, and there is no fundamental distinction between "observer" and "observed". When multiple local observers independently observe the same system, if their observation results agree, the composite observer obtains a classical particle-like fact; if their observation results diverge, the composite observer obtains quantum wave-like behavior (a superposition state). We demonstrate that this "persuasion theory"—namely, that only when local observers reach an agreement can they persuade the composite observer—can naturally derive the formalism of quantum mechanics and perfectly explain the wave-particle duality in the double-slit interference experiment. This theory interprets quantum mechanics as a theory concerning the classical information mutually possessed by physical systems and their compositional relationships, and this description is complete.
