We present a complete analysis of Relational Retrocausal Quantum Mechan?ics (RRQM), a spectral-wavefunction framework in which mass is treated as anoperator and retrocausal correlations are intrinsic. We demonstrate that RRQMexactly reproduces all standard QED scattering cross sections for electron-electronand electron-photon interactions, including the full relativistic dependence, with?out invoking second quantization or renormalization. Furthermore, we show thatthe anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and muon emerges naturally fromthe spectral structure and global correlation of the universal wavefunction. The g-2 shift arises from the interplay of the mass operator’s spectral width, photon propagator structure, and retrocausal correlations, yielding a finite, experimentallycorrect value. This work establishes RRQM as a structurally complete, finite, andempirically accurate framework for quantum electrodynamics, offering a conceptu?ally superior alternative to standard QFT approaches.

This work develops the mathematical structure of Relational Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics (RRQM) beginning from its mother-state formulation. Rather than revisiting theinterpretational foundations established in earlier work, we investigate the consequences of treating the mother state as the fundamental object of the theory within a rigged Hilbert space. Starting from the global spectral state, we construct the operator formalism governing spectral evolution and introduce the invariant mass operator as a derived observable actingon the mother state. This naturally leads to an operator formulation of mass expectation values and higher moments, providing a framework in which quantities traditionally regardedas fixed particle parameters emerge from the spectral properties of the underlying state.Building upon this formalism, we investigate the extension of the theory to spinorial wavefunctions, the structure of multiparticle realizations, spectral radiation reaction, and the role of conditional nuclear realizations in observable quantities. We further examine generalized derivative operators and show that their algebra naturally separates into symmetric and antisymmetric sectors, suggesting a possible geometric interpretation of gravitywithin the spectral framework.

We demonstrate that when absolute unitary evolution of the wavefunction is enforced alongside the requirement of a single, self-consistent world, the standard quantum measurement problem dissolves. The resulting framework, Relational Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics (RRQM), requires that the state of any system is strictly relational, and that measurement retroactively rewrites the entire history of the wavefunction. By extending RRQM to incorporate Quantum Reference Frames (QRFs) and mapping them onto a doubly non-commutative phase-space matrix algebra, we derive exact continuous causality. We prove that the spatial ([Xµ,Xν] = iθµν) and momentum ([Pµ,Pν] = iBµν) non-commutativities dynamically deform the phase-space integration measure. This rigidity generates localized geometric stress upon measurement, mathematically inducing the non-linear curvature of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Furthermore, we provide a complete, gapless algebraic derivation proving that gravitational binding energy—the classical mass defect—emerges purely from the relational interaction between non-commutative momentum operators, establishing macroscopic gravity as a thermodynamic shadow of retrocausal constraints.
In 1965, the Nobel Prize was awarded for the modern formulation of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) to R.P. Feynman for his diagrammatic method, J. Schwinger for the operator method, and S.-I. Tomonaga for his relativistic derivation. Subsequently, P. Kusch performed a precise measurement of the electron's anomalous magnetic moment, providing a critical test validating QED's computational methods, which proved to be extremely accurate. Nevertheless, QED is based on a physically unrealistic assumption—mathematically circumvented—that the electron is a dimensionless point particle endowed with physical properties "ex abrupto." This work, developed within a deterministic and non-local dBBZ (modified de Broglie–Bohm) theory, models the electron as an entangled and distributed structure, as proposed in previous studies. It enables the calculation of the electron's anomalous magnetic moment as a consequence of its intrinsic structure, without employing QED techniques. The method involves calculating, for each orbital, the anomalous moment modified to account for the influence of existing magnetic fields. Subsequently, entanglement is imposed on the sum of these moments, and from the total orbital anomalous moment thus obtained, the theoretical magnetic anomaly is derived and compared with the corresponding experimental value, yielding relative errors on the order of 10^-10. This procedure, which allows for greater theoretical precision , need a similar , albeit more complex, calculation of the muon's and tau anomalous magnetic moment. This is because a specific parameter, termed the "source parameter," selected within an allowable range requires , at least , dual verification to be adopted with high precision. The theoretical determination of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment is also presented in a subsequent document, employing analogous computational procedures.
The quantum reference frame (QRF) programme has demonstrated that the distinction between superposition and entanglement is observer-dependent: what appears as entanglement from an external perspective may appear as a definite relational state from within a quantum frame. However, QRF has operated primarily in the kinematic and spatial domain, leaving the temporal structure of observation unaddressed and providing no account of why each internal frame experiences definiteness. We propose a synthesis with Relational Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics (RRQM), in which measurement is the retroactive rewriting of an observer’s accessible history. The central result is the entanglement/measurement duality theorem: the temporal frame-change transformation from an external observer to an internal observer maps an entangled description onto a measurement-with-definite-outcome description, and this map is precisely the RRQM rewriting operator acting on history space. We formalize this through the introduction of temporal quantum reference frames (tQRFs), extending QRF from instantaneous Hilbert space into the space of observer-relative histories. The framework resolves Wigner’s friend, Bell correlations, and Schr¨odinger’s cat through a single mechanism: observer-relative temporal frames, each retroactively consistent.
The fundamental incompatibility between the linear, unitary evolution of quantum mechanics and the non-linear, deterministic geometry of General Relativity (GR) suggests a failure in our foundational assumptions regarding continuous spacetime and fixed macroscopic histories. In this paper, we demonstrate that the non-linearity of the Einstein Field Equations (EFE) and the apparent non-unitary collapse of the quantum wavefunction are dual manifestations of a single underlying principle: the preservation of relational algebraic rigidity across scales. We model spacetime usinga zero-dimensional Yang-Mills matrix framework where coordinates are non-commuting operators ([Xµ, Xν] = iθµν). We explicitly show how the failure of ultraviolet (UV) degrees of freedom todecouple—known as UV/IR mixing—dynamically forces the infrared (IR) effective action to adopt the non-linear curvature of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Extending this to Lorentzian signature introduces temporal non-commutativity ([X0, Xi] ̸= 0), which smears the effective propagator and inevitably violates strict time-ordering at the microscopic level. This non-local temporal smearing provides the exact mathematical foundation for Relational Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics(RRQM). Within RRQM, measurement is not a dynamical collapse, but a retroactive boundarycondition imposed upon the path integral, pruning the accessible history of the observer into global consistency. By synthesizing non-commutative geometry with RRQM’s Rewriting Postulate, we show that unitarity is equivalent to diffeomorphism invariance, successfully resolving the Wigner’sFriend paradox, Bell non-locality, and macroscopic superpositions without invoking many-worlds orhidden variables.
