Locality and Reality in Special Relativity: A Timelike-Boundary Reading

Axel G. Schubert

This manuscript develops a timelike-boundary reading of locality and reality within the established Lorentzian causal structure of special relativity and the standard record language of quantum measurement. The central object is a timelike boundary equipped with a boundary observer field and observer-adapted cuts. Such a cut is treated as the local comparison surface on which selected quantities are read relative to a coarse-grained reference structure. A local record appears when a boundary-relative deviation becomes resolvable on that cut. The framework separates two roles that are often compressed into one event statement. Lorentzian geometry supplies causal admissibility: it determines which prior data or contextual contributions may be relevant for a candidate event. The boundary comparison supplies record content: it identifies the deviation that becomes locally manifest. Thus the causal cone constrains the admissible domain, but it does not by itself provide a microscopic route or a measurement record. The proposed reading therefore assigns locality to cut-local record formation under Lorentzian causal admissibility. Reality is associated with stable, record-accessible deviations rather than with direct exposure of the underlying reference structure. The result is a compact assignment framework in which causal structure, reference structure, resolved deviation, and local record formation are organized on the same timelike boundary without replacing the established mathematical content of special relativity or quantum mechanics.

Locality and Reality in Special Relativity: A Timelike-Boundary Reading

Axel G. Schubert

Timelike boundaries provide a natural setting for organizing causal admissibility, reference structure, visible deviation, and local measurement content on the same Lorentzian surface. This manuscript develops a timelike--boundary reading of local measurement using the established language of special relativity and quantum mechanics as the reference framework. The central object is a timelike boundary equipped with a boundary observer field and observer--adapted cuts. Lorentzian geometry supplies the admissible causal domain of a candidate event. The boundary cut supplies the local comparison surface on which selected quantities are read relative to a coarse--grained reference structure. A local record appears when a boundary--relative deviation becomes resolvable on that cut. The analysis deliberately focuses on the shared interface rather than on the full individual dynamics of general relativity or quantum mechanics. The common structure considered here is the cut--level assignment of causal admissibility, reference structure, resolved deviation, and local record formation. The key distinction is between causal admissibility and measurement content. The causal cone constrains which prior data or contextual contributions may be relevant for a candidate event; it does not by itself supply the local record. The reference structure is specified internally by the boundary reading and is accessed in local records only through locally resolved deviations from it. Thus measurement does not expose the reference structure directly, but records a deviation relative to it. The resulting framework identifies the observer--adapted cut on a timelike boundary as a potential interface where Lorentzian causal geometry and quantum--mechanical record language can be organized together without replacing the established content of either theory.

Measurement-Based Estimation of Causal Conditional Variances and Its Application to Macroscopic quantum phenomenon

Kosei Hatakeyama, Ryotaro Fukuzumi, Akira Matsumura +2 more

We analytically investigate a quantum estimation method for a mechanical oscillator in a detuned cavity system based solely on homodyne measurement records, building on the framework developed by C.Meng et al. (Science Advances 8, 7585 (2022)). Estimation based only on measurement records is important because it enables state verification without assuming knowledge of the true system state. We construct a relative estimate operator from causal and anti-causal quantum Wiener filters and calculate its variance. The deviation from the causal conditional variance is defined as a reconstruction bias, whose magnitude is evaluated analytically. We show that, within experimentally relevant parameter regimes for typical quantum-state preparation, the reconstruction bias is sufficiently small to be neglected. As applications to state verification, we apply the method to proposals for macroscopic quantum entanglement mediated by electromagnetic interactions and for conditional momentum-squeezed states generated by homodyne detection, and clarify the conditions under which the bias remains negligible and when the reconstruction bias becomes significant.
