TV–TIC Dynamics IX: Quantum Paradoxes Reinterpreted as Correlation–Selection Phenomena

Vostrikov, Valeri

Published Dec 14, 2025• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This preprint develops the TV–TIC framework by reinterpreting canonical quantum paradoxes — including delayed choice, interaction-free measurement, and observer paradoxes — as manifestations of correlation–selection dynamics rather than fundamental measurement-induced collapse. Within this approach, paradoxical behavior arises from the stabilization and suppression of global correlation modes under local interaction constraints. The work is theoretical and exploratory in nature and has not undergone peer review.

Foundations of Quantum Computing: I-Demystifying Quantum Paradoxes

Federal Reserve Bank Of New York, USA, M Syrkin ‎

Speedy developments in Quantum Technologies mandate that fundamentals of Quantum Computing are well explained and ‎understood. Meanwhile, paradigms of so-called quantum non-locality, wave function (WF) “collapse”, “Schrödinger cat” and ‎some other historically popular misconceptions continue to feed mysteries around quantum phenomena. Arguing that above ‎misinterpretations stem from classically minded and experimentally unverifiable perceptions, recasting Principle of ‎Superposition (PS) and key experimental details into classical notions. Revisiting main components of general quantum ‎measurement protocols (analyzers and detectors), and explaining paradoxes of WF collapse and Schrödinger cat. Reminding ‎that quantum measurements routinely reveal correlations dictated by conservation laws in each individual realization of the ‎quantum ensemble, manifesting “correlation-by-initial conditions” in contrast to traditional “correlation-by-interactions”. We ‎reiterate: Quantum Mechanics (QM) is not a dynamical theory in the same sense the Classical Mechanics (CM) is – it is a ‎statistical phenomenology, as established in 1926 by Born’s postulate. That is, while QM rests on conservation laws in each ‎individual outcome, it does not indicate how exactly a specific outcome is selected. This selection remains fundamentally ‎random and represents true randomness of QM, the latter being a statistical paradigm with a WF standing for a complex-‎valued distribution function. Finally, PS is the backbone of a quantum measurement process: PS can be conveniently viewed ‎as a composition of partial distributions into the total distribution – similar to classical probability mixtures – and is ‎effectuated experimentally by the analyzer part of a measuring device. ‎

Resolving the Measurement Problem via Observer-Relative Information

Greco, Giuseppe Junior

The quantum measurement problem is traditionally framed as a conflict between unitary dynamics and the emergence of definite outcomes. A wide range of quantum paradoxes—including Schrödinger’s Cat, Wigner’s Friend, Bell nonlocality, delayed-choice experiments, and the Quantum Zeno effect—are commonly interpreted as manifestations of this conflict. This paper argues that these paradoxes share a common origin: the assumption that quantum states represent observer-independent physical reality. Building on an Observer-First Interpretation (OFI), quantum states are instead treated as observer-relative informational constructs constrained by evidence accessibility and record stability. Within this unified framework, definite outcomes, nonlocal correlations, temporal ordering, and measurement-induced stabilization emerge consistently without modifying quantum mechanics or introducing additional dynamics. The quantum measurement problem is thus reformulated as an informational consistency condition rather than a physical inconsistency.

From Quantum Collapse to Coherence: A New Framework for Wigner’s Friend and the Frauchiger-Renner Paradox

Hutan Ashrafian

Wigner’s Friend and the Frauchiger-Renner paradox explore fundamental tensions in quantum mechanics, particularly how measurement, observer perspectives, and entangled states yield contradictory or paradoxical conclusions when extended universally. Conventional treatments prioritize wavefunction collapse or large-scale entanglement, often neglecting the role of partial decoherence. Here, I develop a “Wigner’s Buddy” framework that refocuses these thought experiments on quantum coherence, treating measurement as a continuous, environment-driven process rather than an abrupt collapse. By systematically quantifying off-diagonal terms through measures such as the ℓ1-norm or relative entropy of coherence, and employing techniques that measure coherence such as tomography, interferometry, and ultrafast spectroscopy, I highlight how gradual phase damping reconciles local classicality with residual global coherence. This approach surpasses limitations of fragility in entanglement-based protocols, addresses nested-observer inconsistencies without invoking universal collapse, and accommodates real-world noise in biological systems such as photosynthesis, magnetoreception. Coherence thus bridges theoretical paradoxes and practical phenomena, demonstrating a scalable mechanism by which quantum effects can persist in macroscopic or dissipative environments.In doing so, it aligns Wigner’s Friend and Frauchiger-Renner analyses with a broader spectrum of interpretative frameworks—including Copenhagen, Many-Worlds, relational, Bayesian perspectives, and pilot-wave views—while underscoring the adaptability of quantum mechanics across multiple scales and contexts. Moreover, this perspective resonates with quantum Darwinism, which posits that the environment redundantly encodes pointer states, promoting effective classical objectivity from purely quantum substrates. By clarifying how partial decoherence can stabilize measurement outcomes, the “Wigner’s Buddy” proposal enhances our understanding of quantum theory’s capacity to describe itself without logical contradictions. It also has implications for quantum computing, where maintaining and controlling coherence amid noise is pivotal for scalable information processing. Furthermore, analyzing coherence measures can, in principle, distinguish gradual phase suppression from hypothetical non-unitary collapse if robust empirical tests are devised, though interpretation remains context-dependent. Ultimately, this modification unifies theoretical paradoxes with real-world systems, suggesting that coherence-based approaches can illuminate the transition from micro-level superpositions to macro-level classicality and guide future developments in both foundational studies and emergent quantum technologies.

TV–TIC Dynamics I: Trigger Wave as the Fundamental Mechanism of Reality

Vostrikov, Valeri

This article introduces the TV–TIC framework, a minimalist informational ontology in which spatial and temporal structure, geometric relations, and gravitational analogues emerge from a correlation-driven dynamical cycle. Local quantum evolution is combined with a global Trigger Wave update that stabilizes large-scale correlation modes. We investigate how distance, curvature, causal order, and effective gravitational response can arise without assuming spacetime as a primitive concept. This work forms Part I of the TV–TIC Dynamics Series.

TV–TIC and the Emergence of Physical Reality

Vostrikov, Valeri

This preprint presents a philosophical and conceptual synthesis of the TV–TIC (Trigger–Wave / Transport-Induced Correlation) framework, adopting a correlation-first ontology in which space, time, matter, physical law, mathematics, and classical reality are interpreted as emergent features of dynamical stabilization. The work is presented as a foundational and interpretive contribution, not as a technical or formal development.
