A Simple Hypothesis on the Origin and Physical Nature of Quantum Superposition of States

Pavel Vyacheslavovich Kurakin, George G. Malinetskii

Published May 17, 2005• 2 citations

Abstract

We suugest a simple hypothesis on physical origin of quantum superposition, which is a generalization of our "hidden time" hypothesis, suggested before.

Quantum Superposition as Entanglement

Matheus Pereira Lobo

We propose as a hypothesis that quantum superposition can be described by mathematical relations of entanglement.

The c state hypothesis

mark harrison, CP Nova

The c‑State Hypothesis proposes that quantum behaviour emerges from a particle entering a temporary massless transition mode governed by the constant c. Instead of treating superposition, tunnelling, and collapse as abstract mathematical rules, the hypothesis reframes them as natural consequences of movement mechanics when mass‑interaction drops. This restores continuity to motion and provides a physical mechanism linking classical and quantum behaviour. The c‑state acts as the hidden intermediate step between observable states, offering a unified explanation for quantum effects without invoking non‑physical discontinuities

Quantum Superposition and Major Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: Toward a Hypothesis of Two-Dimensional Time

Houcem Djemal

We propose a simple, unconventional hypothesis to reinterpret key quantum phenomena—especially “two paths at once” in Young’s double-slit experiment and nonclassical entanglement correlations—within an extended notion of time. Besides ordinary time t, we introduce a hidden internal coordinate s that is not directly observable macroscopically but may be active in quantum regimes. Superposition is described as a single quantum system having support at multiple s values while sharing the same observed t, so apparent path multiplicity becomes a projection effect when s is ignored. Measurement corresponds to progressively restricting access to s, yielding a single outcome.

The Parallel Principle

Richard A. Mould

Von Neumann's psycho-physical parallelism requires the existence of an interaction between subjective experiences and material systems. A hypothesis is proposed that amends physics in a way that connects subjective states with physical states, and a general model of the interaction is provided. A specific example shows how the theory applies to pain consciousness. The implications concerning quantum mechanical state creation and reduction are discussed, and some mechanisms are suggested to seed the process. An experiment that tests the hypothesis is described elsewhere. Key Words: von Neumann, psycho-physical, consciousness, state reduction, state collapse, macroscopic superpositions, conscious observer.
