Quantum Convergence Threshold (QCT): A First-Principles Framework for Informational Collapse

Abstract

Gregory P. Capanda*

The Quantum Convergence Threshold (QCT) framework is a first-principles model proposing that wavefunction collapse is not a stochastic mystery but a convergence phenomenon governed by informational density, temporal coherence, and awareness-based thresholds. This paper introduces a novel set of operators and field dynamics that regulate when and how quantum systems resolve into classical states. The QCT framework is formulated to be compatible with quantum field theory and the Schrödinger equation, while offering new insights into delayed choice experiments, the measurement problem, and quantum error correction. By rooting the framework in logical axioms and explicitly defined physical terms, we aim to transition QCT from a speculative model to a testable ontological proposal.
