Quantum qRules: Foundation Theory
Richard A. Mould
abstract: Three qRules governing wave collapse are given in this paper that provide a
foundation theory of quantum mechanics. They are empirical regularities that
are known to be valid in macroscopic situations. When projected theoretically
into the microscopic domain they predict a novel ontology, including the
frequent collapse of atomic wave functions. Future experiments can potentially
discriminate between this and other foundation theories of quantum mechanics.
Important features of the qRules are: (1) they apply to individual trials not
just to ensembles of trials, (2) they are valid independent of size or mass
(microscopic or macroscopic), (3) they allow all observers to be continuously
included in the system without ambiguity, (4) they account for the collapse of
the wave function without introducing new or using old physical constants, (5)
they allow energy and momentum to be conserved in an individual collapse, (6)
they generate wave reductions that are independent of any outside observer or
measuring device, (7) they provide a high frequency of stochastic localizations
of microscopic objects independent of macroscopic objects, and (8) they are
formulated in a covariant language that makes them useful beyond
non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Keywords: foundation theory, measurement,
qRules, state reduction, wave collapse.
