The Redundancy and Natural Dissolution of Decoherence Theory within the Framework of Chen's Superstring Theory (CST) — A Unified Quantum-Classical Description Based on Planck-Scale Phase Transition and Three-Dimensional Euler Energy Strings
Abstract Quantum decoherence is the mainstream paradigm in contemporary quantum mechanics foundations and quantum measurement theory for explaining wavefunction collapse, the disappearance of quantum superposition, and the origin of macroscopic classical reality. Its core idea is: a quantum system becomes entangled with its environment, leading to an irreversible attenuation of coherence, thereby transitioning microscopic quantum behavior into macroscopic classical behavior. This paper rigorously proves within the unified framework of Chen’s Superstring Theory (CST) that decoherence is not a fundamental physical process but rather an apparent phenomenon and theoretical patch based on the ontology of point particles and the ultimate theory of linear quantum mechanics. CST takes the three-dimensional Euler spiral energy string as the most fundamental entity of the universe, takes the Planck scale as the dynamic phase transition boundary between the Gravitational string (G) and the Repulsive string (R), and takes logarithmic periodic oscillation as the cross-scale unified dynamical characteristic. From the bottom ontology and dynamical level, CST directly provides a unified quantitative description of quantum coherence, superposition, the measurement process, and classical reality. Through formal derivation and physical image reconstruction, this paper systematically demonstrates that within the CST framework, traditional "decoherence" is completely dissolved, naturally replaced, and entirely redundant. This paper simultaneously presents a micro-macro unified dynamics that requires no decoherence assumption and is self-consistently compatible with existing experimental facts (high-energy scattering, quantum entanglement, celestial orbits, fluid vortices).

Abstract: The quantum measurement problem has been the deepest conceptual difficulty since the birth of quantum mechanics. Standard quantum mechanics accepts wavefunction collapse as an independent postulate but never provides a physical explanation. The decoherence approach attributes collapse to the interaction between the system and its environment, but faces two fundamental limitations: the “infinite regress” problem and the “insufficiency of decoherence” problem. Within the framework of the Self-Construction Theory (SCT), this paper provides a complete resolution of the measurement problem. The core thesis is that quantum measurement is not a fundamental process independent of the laws of physical evolution, but rather a local manifestation of constructive renormalization—the scale evolution of the spacetime complex field K from microscopic degrees of freedom to macroscopic effective descriptions. The origins of wavefunction collapse, decoherence, and the Born rule receive a unified first‑principles interpretation in this framework. SCT’s spontaneous decoherence mechanism is the key to the resolution. Constructive renormalization inherently involves information loss—the integrated‑out microscopic degrees of freedom no longer exist in the macroscopic effective description. During a measurement, the measuring apparatus possesses a huge number (∼1023) of microscopic degrees of freedom. When the apparatus interacts with the measured system, constructive renormalization triggers information compression of these degrees of freedom—the apparatus can no longer distinguish which branch of the superposition it is in, and quantum coherence is thus spontaneously lost. No “external environment” is needed—the constructive renormalization dynamics of spacetime itself is the ultimate source of decoherence, thereby completely solving the “infinite regress” problem. Among the probability distribution given by the Born rule, the weights of non‑maximal probability branches are further suppressed by information compression under the huge number of microscopic degrees of freedom, so that macroscopic observers can perceive only a definite outcome in the effective description. The information loss caused by constructive renormalization is ontological—it does not rely on any approximation or truncation, thus fundamentally solving the “insufficiency of decoherence” problem. The Born rule—that measurement outcomes occur with probabilities given by the squared amplitudes—is directly derived from the constructive integral structure in SCT. In the constructive renormalization limit, interference terms between different configurations are naturally suppressed by off‑diagonal phase randomization, and the system automatically switches to a classical probabilistic description. In the diagonal density matrix representation, the squared amplitude is the only natural weight that is simultaneously real and non‑negative. Hence the Born rule is not an additional postulate of quantum mechanics but a necessary and unique manifestation of the relative frequencies of the constructive integral in the constructive renormalization limit. This derivation is rigorous within the mathematical framework of constructive renormalization—it does not rely on any approximations or truncations. SCT’s quantum measurement theory is deeply unified with the black hole information paradox. The “collapse” in quantum measurement and the “information loss” in black hole evaporation are different manifestations of the same core mechanism—the redistribution of information due to constructive renormalization—in two extreme physical situations. In quantum measurement, information is redistributed into the degrees of freedom of the macroscopic apparatus; in black hole evaporation, information is redistributed into the time‑point configurations on the horizon. This unification is the strongest proof of the universality of constructive renormalization as an information‑processing mechanism.

The framework of classical physics includes the well-established Helmholtz wave equation, which accurately describes the propagation, interference, and diffraction behaviors of steady-state time-harmonic waves such as acoustic and electromagnetic waves at the macroscopic level. Verified by centuries of experiments, it is a universally recognized deterministic formula in fundamental physics. However, traditional physics has long operated within fixed boundaries: academia has always matched the Helmholtz equation with one-dimensional real scalar coordinates, applying it only to macroscopic matter wave fields, and never attempting to use it to describe the microscopic quantum world or the underlying ontology of the universe. Meanwhile, Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics, starting from the microscopic mathematical properties, derived the uncertainty principle based on the non-commutation relations of matrices, directly proving that microscopic mechanical quantities cannot be completely represented by real scalars. The microscopic universe is inherently adapted to matrix-dimensional structures, which is the fundamental cause of the proliferation of paradoxes in quantum mechanics under the real-coordinate framework.Addressing these dual shortcomings of the existing physical system, this paper presents original research: it fully retains the differential operators, wave constraints, and steady-state solution rules of the classical Helmholtz equation, introduces no new physical constants or artificial ad-hoc assumptions, and only replaces the real-space coordinates X and Y within the equation with second-order two-dimensional linear matrix coordinates, independently constructing a theoretical system of two-dimensional linear two-dimensional waves adapted to the microscopic ontology of the universe. It must be clearly defined: classical physics only has real-coordinate Helmholtz waves, used to explain macroscopic waves; the Helmholtz wave model based on two-dimensional linear matrix coordinates is an exclusive original theory of this paper, forming a dedicated new classical system to describe the true microscopic ontology of the universe.Drawing on rigorously verified traditional mathematical and physical tools such as the classical Helmholtz wave principle, Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics, the uncertainty principle, the linear projection theorem, and the principle of wave field superposition, this paper systematically elaborates the mathematical structure, dimensional characteristics, and evolutionary laws of two-dimensional linear two-dimensional waves, and reveals the ultimate physical nature of quantum observation collapse: all material entities in the microscopic world are two-dimensional linear two-dimensional Helmholtz waves, while the human macroscopic perceptual world and detection devices can only carry one-dimensional real information. The essence of the observation process is not the random collapse of the wavefunction as defined by quantum mechanics, but rather the observation system actively extracting one degree of freedom from the two-dimensional matrix wave, with the remaining single dimension completing dimensionality-reduction projection and mapping into the one-dimensional real physical space, ultimately forming the observational illusion of localized particles.This original theory can explain the two core experimental puzzles that have plagued quantum physics for a century without contradictions or ad-hoc patches: First, when observing the interference pattern throughout the double-slit experiment, this observation mode collects the steady-state information of the global superposition of two-dimensional waves without performing dimensional extraction, and thus does not trigger collapse; Second, when a single photon enters the human eye’s retina or a single-point detector completes fixed-point detection, the observation system imposes localized boundary conditions to force the extraction of the wave field dimension, realizing the "screen projection" imaging of two-dimensional waves onto one-dimensional reality, which macroscopically manifests as wavefunction collapse. This study breaks down the barriers between macroscopic classical waves and microscopic quantum phenomena, providing a unified explanation for microscopic phenomena such as wave-particle duality and quantum observation collapse with an original classical model, and offering a new underlying perspective for the grand unification research in fundamental physics.
Abstract This paper takes quantum coherence as a unifying framework to establish a streamlined physical model that spans microscopic quantum phenomena, macroscopic motion, the four fundamental interactions, and conscious perception. Changes in an object’s motion state are fundamentally the transition and reconstruction of the system’s overall coherent mode. Electromagnetism, gravity, friction, contact forces, and the strong/weak interactions are all forms of coherent coupling at different scales. Macroscopic continuous motion is a sensory illusion of high-speed transitions between discrete coherent states, synthesized into a smooth temporal sequence by consciousness. Decoherence corresponds to the release of phase constraints, accompanied by energy release. From a dimensional perspective, the high-dimensional quantum coherent field is the underlying reality, and the macroscopic classical world is its low-dimensional projection after decoherence and conscious integration. Macroscopic physics is a simplified version of quantum physics, just as conventional calculus is a simplified version of its deeper mathematical foundations. This framework achieves a unified explanation of matter, force, energy, consciousness, and spacetime dimensions, with rigorous logical simplicity and self-consistency.
We propose a unified physical framework in which four-dimensional spacetime vacuum is the unique physical reality, and all quanta are its localized topological excitations. Matter particles correspond to stable knot-like configurations, while radiation quanta correspond to weak propagating ripples of the same substrate. From this single ontological commitment, we derive: (1) wave–particle duality is resolved—particle behavior belongs to the localized excitation, wave behavior to the disturbance field it generates in spacetime; (2) double-slit interference arises from coherent superposition between a quantum's newly sourced disturbance and its own historical disturbance field, not from ontological self-superposition; (3) the wave function is a statistical tool encoding ensemble distributions of trajectories modulated by disturbance feedback, and collapse is epistemic convergence rather than a physical process; (4) quantum entanglement corresponds to Planck-scale topological connectivity (microscopic Einstein–Rosen bridges), preserving relativistic causality; (5) gravity is the macroscopic accumulation of universal but individually weak quantum–vacuum couplings, explaining both its microscopic weakness and macroscopic dominance without requiring a graviton; (6) the four fundamental interactions are differentiated coupling modes of quanta to one spacetime vacuum field; and (7) apparent dark matter and dark energy are reinterpreted as collective topological curvature and large-scale vacuum self-relaxation, respectively. We formulate falsifiable predictions at both laboratory and cosmological scales, including disturbance–corpuscle separation interferometry, tunable decoherence threshold measurements, and galaxy rotation–topology correlations. The framework compresses the conventional axiomatic structure of quantum mechanics and cosmology into one master axiom and eliminates at least twenty-eight independent interpretive assumptions.
This work presents a unified, realistic, and mechanically grounded interpretation of fundamental physics across all scales, from quarks and elementary particles to atoms, macroscopic bodies, planetary motion, and black holes. The proposed framework provides a single coherent physical description capable of reproducing and explaining, within a common dynamical structure, the full range of phenomena traditionally treated separately by general relativity, quantum mechanics, and quantum electrodynamics. Within this approach, long-standing conceptual problems such as wave–particle duality, quantum interference, entanglement, and wavefunction collapse are not postulated as fundamental features of nature, but emerge naturally as dynamical properties of a physically real medium. The apparent dual behavior of matter and radiation, as well as nonlocal quantum correlations, arise from coherent and topologically constrained excitations of this medium, without invoking probabilistic ontologies or nonphysical abstractions. The theory is based on a revised physical concept of space, treated as a real superfluid medium endowed with density, elasticity, viscosity, permittivity, permeability, and a very small but non-zero electrical conductivity. In this model, space is no longer a passive geometric background, but an active physical system capable of storing, transmitting, and dissipating energy.Mass is interpreted as an isotropic compression of the superfluid, electric charge as an oriented torsional configuration, and fields as elastic stress and vorticity distributions of the medium itself. Electromagnetic and gravitational waves are described as propagating perturbations of the superfluid, while particles correspond to stable solitonic configurations sustained by the medium dynamics.At the microscopic level, starting from classical fluid equations (continuity and Euler equations) and applying the Madelung transformation, the Schrödinger equation is shown to emerge as a compact complex representation of the underlying real fluid dynamics, rather than as a fundamental postulate. Quantum phenomena such as quantization, tunneling, spin, and exclusion principles follow from stability, coherence, and topological constraints of solitonic wave structures. On cosmological scales, the same framework provides a unified interpretation of redshift, large-scale expansion phenomena, and the cosmic microwave background as cumulative dynamical and dissipative effects of wave propagation within the superfluid medium, rather than as consequences of metric expansion alone. Effects commonly attributed to dark matter and dark energy are reinterpreted as emergent manifestations of spatial density gradients, elastic stresses, and dissipative properties of the superfluid, without introducing additional unknown components. A wide range of experimentally verified phenomena—including the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, Zeeman–Stark effects, the Aharonov–Bohm effect, Casimir effect, Unruh radiation, and cosmological attenuation effects—are consistently described within this unified framework. The proposed model offers an alternative foundational paradigm for physics, in which space, matter, and interactions emerge from a single physically intelligible dynamical system, restoring a continuous and causal description of nature from microscopic to cosmological scales.
The mainstream interpretation of quantum entanglement and its derivative phenomena has long relied on concepts such as non-locality and superposition, leading to a lack of dynamical mechanism description for wave function collapse and creating profound conflicts with physical causality. This paper, based on the "Great Tao Model" and its "Existence Field Theory," proposes a systematic and unified interpretation of quantum entanglement phenomena, exemplified by the experiments recognized by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. First, it analyzes the erroneous presuppositions in the derivation of Bell's inequality based on Existence Field Theory and establishes a general classical interpretation framework grounded in "static initial correlations" and "local interactions." Subsequently, through a classical physical reconstruction of milestone experiments such as Aspect's, it demonstrates that this framework is sufficient to explain all observed phenomena self-consistently, without introducing "non-local superluminal action." Building on this, the paper successfully extends this interpretative framework to core quantum phenomena such as quantum decoherence, teleportation, and many-body entanglement, revealing that they also originate from classical conservation law constraints and local field interactions. Furthermore, this paper compares the Great Tao Model with hidden variable theories, finding that although both belong to the classical realism camp and oppose non-locality, the Great Tao Model requires no introduction of any hidden variables. Instead, it explains phenomena directly based on the specific physical properties (charge, mass) of elementary particles and the local dynamics of their existence fields, thus providing a more physically realistic and unified theoretical framework. This study offers a unified, causality-compliant classical explanation for a series of quantum phenomena claimed to exhibit "non-locality," fundamentally challenging the conceptual foundation of related quantum information technologies and providing a new path for physics to return to a theoretical paradigm based on realism, locality, and clear dynamical mechanisms.
