Based on open quantum systems and non-equilibrium field dynamics, a unified physical theory connecting cosmic evolution and microscopic quantum decoherence is established. Two core axioms are proposed: the non-equilibrium field difference axiom provides the external rigid condition for the emergence of ordered structures, and the quantum intrinsic upward chemotaxis axiom describes the internal driving force for systems to evolve toward higher information integration and complexity. Using an ultra-low temperature global field and a local ordered microenvironment as an analog model, the underlying isomorphic logic of cosmic and life evolution is revealed. The theory is embedded into the open quantum system framework, and the intrinsic chemotaxis correction is introduced into the standard Lindblad master equation to construct a full quantum master equation at the density matrix level. The time-dependent effective decoherence rate Γₑբբ(t)=Γ−βαe⁻ᵅᵗ is rigorously derived, and the analytical solution of coherence decay C(t)=exp(−Γt+β(1−e⁻ᵅᵗ)) is obtained. The theory predicts that quantum coherence exhibits non-exponential stretched decay under ultra-low temperature and low noise conditions, which is falsifiably different from the mainstream pure exponential decay. The physical definitions and theoretical constraints of parameters β and α are clarified, and a semi-quantitative magnitude estimate is given (optimistic upper bound β≲10⁻⁶, to be determined experimentally). Four groups of controlled experiments are designed based on platforms such as superconducting qubits and ion traps, and four quantitative test criteria are proposed to evaluate the experimental feasibility. This theory defines the second law of thermodynamics as an effective law for macroscopic isolated systems, establishes intrinsic chemotaxis as the core driving force for directed evolution, and forms a complete logical closed-loop from unified physical framework and cosmic evolution model to microscopic experimental predictions.

This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework based on Contextual Coherence to model the evolution of open quantum systems without requiring traditional, restrictive a priori assumptions such as stationarity or strict process autonomy. By embedding environmental and contextual interactions into a unified scalar parameter, we derive an extended hybrid flow equation that naturally spans the entire continuum between microscopic quantum mechanics and macroscopic reality. We analyze the exact analytical solutions of this equation across three distinct dynamical regimes, demonstrating the seamless recovery of orthodox unitary von Neumann dynamics in the isolated limit, and the emergence of damped-oscillatory behavior in transitional states without relying on phenomenological operator adjustments. In the macroscopic asymptotic limit, the scalar damping parameter Γ is shown to directly assimilate established empirical environmental spectral densities through an integral transformation. Furthermore, in the pristine vacuum limit, this dissipation baseline collapses to a constant cosmic background value, Γ0. We provide a qualitative analysis demonstrating how this fundamental scalar constant offers a unified, geometric explanation for several large-scale cosmological phenomena, including the tired light redshift model, distant luminosity anomalies, the isotropic thermal profile of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and the preservation of photon propagation vectors across deep space. Ultimately, this framework establishes an unbroken analytical bridge connecting localized quantum decoherence directly to the global constants of spacetime geometry, offering a static alternative to modern dark energy paradigms.
Starting from the thermodynamic limit of information recording, this paper derives a complete, universal decoherence formula consisting of three linked equations: 1. A **non-zero lower bound on the decoherence time** of a quantum system: `τ_min = (ℏ / k_B T) · (1 / ln N_eff)`, where `N_eff` is the number of effective environmental degrees of freedom participating in the irreversible recording of the system's information. 2. A **quantitative criterion for the macroscopic–microscopic boundary**: `N_eff^(c) = exp( ℏ / (k_B T · T_sys) )`, where `T_sys` is the characteristic evolution time of the system. When `N_eff > N_eff^(c)`, decoherence completes before a single coherent evolution, and classical behavior emerges. 3. A **thermodynamic lower bound on interference fringe visibility**: `V ≥ exp( − ln N_eff / ln N_eff^(c) )`, derived from the first two equations without additional assumptions. The first equation predicts a *saturation effect*: the decoherence time no longer shortens indefinitely as environmental coupling increases. The second shows that for nearly all laboratory-accessible systems, `N_eff^(c) ≈ 1`, meaning any non-zero environmental coupling suffices to trigger the transition—explaining why macroscopic objects are inevitably classical. The third provides a directly measurable observable for the continuous quantum–classical phase transition. The framework is universal, applies to any quantum system in contact with an environment at temperature `T`, and its three core predictions are independently falsifiable. Based on the boundary criterion, wave–particle duality in double-slit experiments is reinterpreted as a special case of this phase transition occurring under the limiting condition `N_eff^(c) ≈ 1`. Three experimental schemes—a decoherence-saturation ratio test, a temperature-dependence test of the boundary criterion, and a direct observation of the continuous wave–particle transition via ultrafast electron diffraction or circuit QED—are proposed, all feasible on existing quantum information platforms without requiring new equipment.
Quantum Energy: Confined & Oscillatory Dual Equilibrium Modes of the Quantum Field This paper takes the globally continuous quantum field as the fundamental carrier medium of the universe, and proposes the inherent collapse-attraction and repulsion-diffusion dual tendencies of all quantum energy units as the endogenous driving force of all physical phenomena. It defines two exclusive native eigenstates of energy: the confined state under low energy density and weak field potential, and the oscillatory state formed by persistent stress imbalance in high-density superimposed strong fields. All wave-particle duality phenomena, microscopic quantum behaviors and macroscopic cosmic evolution are uniformly interpreted as two modal transformations regulated by local energy density and field potential intensity, without introducing extra mathematical hypothetical constructs such as wave function collapse or superposition. The theory establishes a complete logical closed loop covering quantum field ontology, microscopic dual-state dynamics, double-slit interference mechanism, fundamental interaction origin and cosmic large-scale evolution. It fully matches all verified experimental observations, only reconstructs the underlying physical causal logic, and does not overthrow objective measured conclusions. Meanwhile, it distinguishes the computational practicability of hierarchical mathematical modeling from the natural unity of cosmic physical laws, and criticizes the cognitive bias of prioritizing mathematical description over physical ontology in mainstream research paradigms. This monistic energy framework serves as the general outline for the complete P1–P11 series of collapse-repulsion dynamic theories.

This paper presents a rigorous information-theoretic framework for analyzing quantum decoherence and the mechanism of inertial rest mass generation within open quantum systems. We model spacetime as a primary non-local informational continuum of pure states, structurally regulated by an intrinsic Planck-scale decoherence mechanism operating as a stochastic microstate filter. The transition to a discrete macroscopic reality is formalized via a linear, regularized quantum master equation in the Lindblad form, which successfully eliminates unphysical divergences at the informational saturation limit. We demonstrate that the emergence of inertial rest mass and macroscopic classical inertia is a direct thermodynamic consequence of the cumulative quantized algorithmic information deficit (Db), acting as an information debt quantified in Shannon bits. In accordance with Landauer's principle, this debt enforces a specific thermodynamic heat penalty during state reconfiguration against the invariant Planck temperature of the vacuum substrate. Furthermore, the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) is established as a fundamental physical substrate responsible for global phase synchronization and continuous local entropy calibration via the maximum Quantum Zeno Effect.
Standard quantum decoherence theory explains the loss of quantum coherence as arising entirely from the coupling between a system and its external environment. In that framework, the decoherence rate decreases as temperature drops and environmental coupling weakens, vanishing in the ideal limit of absolute zero. This prediction relies on the assumption that time is continuous at the most fundamental scale. We explore the consequences of relaxing that assumption. If physical time possesses a smallest unit τ, then each discrete update of a quantum state necessarily involves at least one irreducible phase refresh. From this we derive a lower bound on the decoherence rate that is independent of any environment: Γ_disc = 1/(2πτ). The bound is intrinsic to the discrete structure of time and cannot be eliminated by cooling or isolating the system. The value of τ is fixed by matching the kinetic term of a discrete U(1) gauge field to the standard continuum theory, yielding τ ≈ 29.7 Planck times. This gives Γ_disc ≈ 3.45 × 10^41 s^{-1}, on the order of the Planck frequency. A crucial difference from standard decoherence theory emerges: while the standard framework permits the decoherence rate to approach zero at absolute zero, the discrete-time framework forbids this convergence absolutely. The two theories thus make mutually exclusive predictions, offering a clear conceptual criterion for experimental distinction. We discuss experimental prospects with full transparency. Current environmental decoherence rates (kHz to GHz) lie many orders of magnitude above Γ_disc, so a direct measurement of the predicted plateau is not feasible with present technology. The falsifiability of the prediction rests on the qualitative, principle-level claim that a strictly zero decoherence rate can never be observed, no matter how perfectly isolated a system becomes. As ultralow-temperature techniques advance, a persistent non-zero decoherence floor would support the discrete-time picture. The paper is part of the Generative Discrete Action Principle series. All derivations leading to Γ_disc > 0 are self-contained and rely only on the three explicitly stated premises of a minimum time step, positive-definite state-update records, and S¹ periodicity of phase. Results borrowed from the broader framework, such as the numerical prefactor that fixes τ, are clearly labeled as citations.
Aiming at the inherent challenges of quantum decoherence and environmental thermal-noise interference faced by modern quantum computing architectures, this paper establishes a novel quantum state evolution correction framework based on the Ultimate Background Wave Field Theory. Taking the intrinsic spacetime distribution and energy density property of the cosmic background wave field as the fundamental physical premise, this study introduces a global background field coupling correction term. Through self-consistent mathematical physical derivation, a modified quantum state evolution equation is constructed, and a complete physical mechanism for active decoherence suppression is systematically demonstrated. The theoretical analysis indicates that the background wave field correction can effectively weaken the system-environment entanglement coupling strength, stabilize quantum state evolution, extend coherent lifetime, suppress computational noise level, and improve the overall state fidelity. The proposed theoretical framework is naturally compatible with superconducting qubits, ion trap systems, photonic quantum computing and other mainstream hardware routes. It requires no hardware reconstruction, no redundant physical qubits, and brings no extra computational or energy overhead. This work provides an original and logically self-consistent physical paradigm for noise suppression and decoherence mitigation in quantum information research.
