This work investigates physical realization as a system-dependent process rather than a consequence of forces or intrinsic object dynamics. Using both quantum hardware experiments and force-free computational simulations, it is shown that identical initial states may lead to different realized outcomes when only the structural properties of the surrounding system are modified. In the quantum experiment, identical quantum state preparations are implemented on IBM superconducting hardware while the realization structure of the system is altered through controlled ancilla coupling and reset operations. Statistical analysis based on repeated runs demonstrates that outcome distributions differ systematically despite unchanged quantum state preparation, indicating that realization is not determined solely by the quantum state itself. In parallel, a force-free trajectory simulation illustrates how inertial motion, directed fall, orbital stability, and capture behavior can emerge through recursive selection of admissible trajectory continuations. No forces, potentials, or acceleration laws are introduced; observed motion arises entirely from system-imposed structural constraints. Together, these results support a unified structural perspective in which quantum measurement and gravitational-like motion are understood as manifestations of the same underlying mechanism: system-dependent realization through selective admissibility rather than dynamical interaction.

This work reports experimental evidence that physical outcomes in quantum hardware depend on the interaction structure realized during execution rather than solely on the intended logical circuit description. Using four-qubit experiments on superconducting quantum processors, we demonstrate that nominally equivalent circuits may be compiled into distinct physical interaction graphs, leading to markedly different correlation patterns in measurement outcomes. The results support a structure-dependent realization perspective, in which global system constraints select admissible physical outcomes from a space of formally defined possibilities. The findings provide empirical grounding for realization-based theoretical frameworks and complement independent evidence obtained from temporal-coherence studies and gravitational systems. This work is not intended as a performance or optimization study, but as an experimental investigation of structural selection in physical systems.
The Born rule is usually introduced as an axiomatic postulate of quantum mechanics, assigning outcome probabilities as squared wavefunction amplitudes without an underlying physical mechanism. While recent theoretical work has suggested that Born statistics may emerge dynamically from a pre-locking regime in quantum measurement, direct experimental validation on physical hardware has remained an open question. In this work, we present hardware-empirical evidence that Born statistics arise as a stable fixed point of recursive quantum realization. Using real superconducting quantum processors (IBM Quantum), we implement a discrete analogue of continuous measurement based on recursive weak probing with ancilla qubits, while keeping the prepared quantum state strictly fixed. By varying the number of weak probe interactions prior to final projective measurement, we observe a systematic evolution of outcome statistics. As probing depth increases, the measured probabilities converge toward the Born prediction for the prepared state. Crucially, this convergence is suppressed in control experiments that remove probe coupling or scramble relative phase, despite identical circuit depth and gate counts. These results rule out explanations based on instantaneous collapse, circuit depth, classical noise, or readout bias. Instead, they support a physical picture in which quantum probabilities emerge dynamically through coherent, recursive stabilization of competing realizations during measurement. This work provides a direct hardware counterpart to earlier theoretical models of emergent Born statistics and demonstrates that probabilistic quantum outcomes can be experimentally traced to a structured, pre-realizational process rather than postulated as fundamental.
This work presents empirical evidence that quantum measurement is not an instantaneous, structureless collapse, but a multi-stage recursive realization process governed by coherence, weak predictability, and global structural constraints. Using real superconducting quantum processors (IBM Quantum), a sequence of controlled experiments probes four distinct stages of realization:(I) pre-realizational structural orientation,(II) weak predictive bias accessed through ancilla measurements,(III) recursive stabilization via repeated weak probing, and(IV) topology-dependent anti-locking that suppresses locally stable but globally inconsistent configurations. The experiments demonstrate that weakly coupled ancilla qubits acquire statistically significant information about final outcomes prior to projective measurement, that this information disappears under controlled decoupling and phase scrambling, and that repeated probing progressively stabilizes outcome tendencies. Crucially, closed-ring circuit topologies exhibit significantly stronger suppression of locally “locking” configurations than open-line controls, despite identical gate parameters, depth, and hardware backend. This topology-dependent anti-locking effect cannot be explained by local noise, readout bias, or marginal statistics, and instead indicates the presence of a global coherence constraint acting during realization. The results support a physical interpretation in which quantum states represent pre-realizational structure, analogous to an architectural plan, while measurement corresponds to the completion of a recursive, globally constrained selection process rather than an abrupt collapse. Beyond foundational implications, the work demonstrates that contemporary quantum hardware can function as an experimental platform for probing the internal structure of quantum theory itself, opening new avenues for empirical studies of realization, consistency, and emergence.
This paper examines the limits of quantum control from a structural perspective and explains why classical-style control strategies necessarily fail when applied to quantum phenomena. Despite major advances in experimental precision, noise suppression, feedback, and phase stabilization, direct control over individual quantum outcomes has not been achieved. We argue that this limitation is not technological but fundamental. Within a global realization framework, quantum outcomes do not arise from local physical processes evolving in space between emission and detection. Instead, they occur as discrete realization events constrained by the global experimental configuration. As a consequence, local dynamical interventions that leave the configuration unchanged cannot alter the probability distribution of outcomes. They can only improve the statistical estimation of that distribution. We formalize this limitation as a no-go result for classical-style quantum control: at fixed configuration, neither noise reduction, phase control, nor classical post-processing can steer quantum realizations. Control must therefore be redefined. Rather than selecting individual events, meaningful control operates by reshaping global realizability—enabling, suppressing, or excluding entire classes of outcomes through configuration-level manipulation. Minimal toy models are introduced to demonstrate how changes in experimental configuration modify realization admissibility without introducing signaling, determinism, or additional dynamics. The framework preserves quantum indeterminacy and standard no-go theorems while clarifying why many contemporary quantum control strategies stagnate. This work provides the control-theoretic extension of a broader global realization program, complementing earlier conceptual, modeling, and empirical studies. Quantum control, in this view, is architectural rather than dynamical: it consists in shaping the structure within which outcomes may occur, not in determining outcomes themselves.
Black holes are conventionally described as gravitational objects defined by spacetime geometry and event horizons. This geometric picture, while successful, leaves open fundamental questions concerning irreversibility, information isolation, and the universality of horizon-like behavior across physical systems. In this work, we propose and experimentally test an alternative framework: that horizon-like structures emerge as a consequence of realization dynamics, independent of gravity or spacetime curvature. By realization we mean the physical persistence of quantum structure under ongoing dynamics, as distinct from its mere mathematical existence in Hilbert space. Quantum structure that cannot be dynamically realized must be structurally excluded from the realizable domain. We implement a realization-based dynamical protocol on real superconducting quantum hardware provided by IBM Quantum, using sampler-native circuits without mid-circuit measurements or post-selection. A small quantum “world” subsystem is coupled to a non-realizable sink via a controllable realization barrier. Population of the sink qubit serves as an empirical signature of horizon-like absorption. Three regimes are experimentally compared: a fully realizable regime, a control regime with strong dynamics but no realization barrier, and a horizon regime in which unstable quantum structure is coherently redirected into the sink. Strong absorption is observed exclusively in the presence of the realization barrier, while the realizable and control regimes remain statistically indistinguishable. Control tests rule out noise, circuit depth, or strong driving as alternative explanations. These results constitute hardware-executed evidence that black-hole-like horizons can emerge purely from realization dynamics. We conclude that black holes may be understood as structural residues of completed realization rather than objects requiring gravitational collapse, opening a new experimental route to horizon physics grounded in quantum realization rather than geometry.
We formulate a constraint-based framework for quantum outcome realization in which realization is treated as a physical, observer-embedded process implemented by admissible quantum channels. Without modifying unitary dynamics or introducing collapse mechanisms, we impose minimal admissibility conditions—complete positivity, compositional closure, observer consistency, record accessibility, and variational selectability—on realization channels. Under these conditions, standard Born-rule measurement statistics are not postulated but are enforced as a necessary consequence of physical admissibility. We further show that multi-agent contradictions of the Frauchiger–Renner type are non-formulable, as the joint observer inferences required for such constructions cannot be jointly instantiated as admissible physical records within a single realization channel. Existing approaches to quantum measurement are thereby exhaustively classified according to whether they deny physical realization, avoid outcome selection, or admit physically selective realization subject to admissibility constraints. The framework does not advance a new interpretation of quantum mechanics; rather, it classifies the space of physically admissible realization mechanisms once outcome definiteness is assumed to be physical. Within this classification, probability assignment, global observer consistency, and the exclusion of certain paradoxical constructions follow as structural consequences rather than independent assumptions.
