THE BOUNDARY OF WORLDS: Experimental Protocol for Detecting the Transition from the Quantum to the Classical reality

Mikhail Nitsberg

This paper presents a formal experimental protocol designed to detect and measure the precise boundary between the reversible quantum world and the irreversible classical macro-world. Based on Andrei Sakharov's concept of metric vacuum elasticity, we propose that the quantum-to-classical transition is governed by a strict yield strength of the vacuum, occurring at a critical mass of 27 picograms. For a monodisperse silica (SiO₂) microsphere, this threshold corresponds to a critical diameter of 2.863 microns. Below this threshold, the vacuum undergoes purely elastic, reversible deformation, preserving time-reversal symmetry (t → −t). Above it, the vacuum experiences plastic flow, triggering energy dissipation and the objective emergence of the arrow of time. We outline the optomechanical infrastructure, a 5-point scanning grid using levitating microspheres, a comprehensive noise budget, and explicit falsifiability criteria to distinguish this model from the smooth decoherence models of Diósi and Penrose.

The Ontological Roots of Human Science: the Message of Evolution—The Physics of Freedom (Choice)

András Balázs

The original proposal of H. H. CitationPattee (1971) of basing quantum theoretical measurement theory on the theory of the origin of life, and its far reaching consequences, is discussed in the light of a recently emerging biological paradigm of internal measurement. It is established that the “measurement problem” of quantum physics can, in principle, be traced back to the internal material constraints of the biological organisms, where choice is a fundamental attribute of the self-measurement of matter. In this light, which is shown to be a consequence of Pattee's original suggestion, it is proposed that biological evolution is a gradual liberation from the inert unity of “subject” and “object” of inanimate matter (as “natural law” and “initial conditions”), to a split biological existence of them and, as a consequence, the “message of evolution” is freedom, rather than complexity in itself. Some classical philosophical systems are brought into context to show that the epistemologies of several strictly philosophical systems of the social sciences are well acquainted with the problem and their solutions support our conclusions.

Quantum Unified Adaptive Resonance Principles (QUARP): A Theoretical Framework for Quantum-Driven Dynamics in Human Biological Systems

Rudransh Kashyap

Abstract Quantum Unified Anatomical Research Principles (QUARP) is proposed as a coherent framework for integrating quantum-mechanical phenomena with human biological processes. The framework aims to establish a principled bridge between foundational quantum effects—such as superposition, coherence, entanglement, tunneling, uncertainty, and decoherence—and their potential roles in biomolecular dynamics, cellular processes, neural systems, and whole-body physiology. By treating each principle as a modular axiom, QUARP provides a structured pathway to analyze how quantum signatures may emerge, persist, or be constrained within living systems. Superposition reflects the coexistence of multiple conformational states in biomolecules; coherence captures constructive interference patterns in energy transfer and neural oscillations; entanglement represents non-classical correlations in spindependent biochemical reactions; tunneling models enzyme catalysis and proton transfer; uncertainty highlights fundamental measurement limits of biological observables; and decoherence explains environmental constraints that transition systems from quantum to classical behavior. The central contribution of QUARP lies in formalizing these mappings into testable research principles supported by mathematical modeling, experimental protocols, and visualization tools. Potential applications include bioenergetics, enzymatic catalysis, sensory perception, neural computation, and medical diagnostics. In this way, QUARP transforms scattered insights of quantum biology into a unified, principle-driven research program with predictive capacity and biomedical relevance.
