Quantum Measurement Evolution: A Framework for Resolving Quantum Gravity and Other Conundrums

Quantum mechanics has been extraordinarily successful, yet fundamental problems remain, including the measurement problem, nonlocality, and the absence of a complete theory of quantum gravity. This paper proposes a measurement-centric framework in which spacetime is not fundamental. Instead, reality emerges from measurements occurring within a universal probability space composed of interconnected packets of information. Each measurement updates this structure while preserving its underlying symmetry. This framework offers a natural explanation for nonlocality, clarifies the role of observers, and connects general relativity to the conservation of symmetry.

The lately developed part of Quantum Bayesianism named QBism has been proclaimed by its authors a powerful interpretation of Quantum Physics. This article presents analysis of some aspects of QBism. The considered examples show inconsistencies in some basic statements of the discussed interpretation. In particular, the main quantum mechanical conundrum of measurement and the observer is, contrary to the claims, not resolved within the framework of QBism. The conclusion is made that the basic tenets of QBism as applied in Physics are unsubstantiated.

We present a structural framework for analyzing dynamics in background-independent theories based on admissible transport on configuration spaces. The approach reformulates canonical evolution not in terms of a fixed Hamiltonian, but via constrained transport maps acting on an admissible subspace of states, preserving constraint closure and covariance by construction. Within this setting, we show that admissible dynamics admit a dual description in terms of state transport and observable transport, related by an adjoint pairing, and we establish conditions under which validation metrics are invariant under this duality. We further prove that admissibility enforces contraction bounds on accumulated deviations under composition, providing a structural explanation for stability without specifying a particular microscopic dynamics. The framework is applied to canonical Loop Quantum Gravity as a consistency analysis rather than as a proposal for new dynamics. We clarify how transport-based formulations relate to existing spin- network and spin-foam constructions, and we identify precise conditions under which such formulations remain anomaly-free. No claim is made to resolve the full dynamics problem or to derive novel physical predictions. Instead, the results provide a controlled language for distinguishing structurally stable evolutions from inadmissible ones in background-independent quantum theories. This work is an information-theoretic framework concerned with admissible transport and stability of information under composition. Physical theories, including Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), are used solely as structured test cases rather than as the primary object of study. LQG serves as a representative background-independent information system. This manuscript is information theory under constraints, not physics. CIFT is an information-theoretic framework in which conserved quantities are measured in bits and are conditional on explicit admission and boundary exchange.
