Deterministic Resolution of the Quantum State via a Discrete Prime‑Indexed Manifold
Author: Neil Crago (SpaceTCO)
Date: May 16, 2026
The work proposes a deterministic substrate beneath the standard quantum wave function, replacing probabilistic collapse with a mathematically rigid, prime‑indexed manifold that enforces unique state finalization.
Standard quantum mechanics represents physical states using a continuous complex amplitude.
This project introduces a deterministic alternative based on a triadic state vector:
where:
- Ttotal — total geometric tension
- Egrid — grid efficiency (tension per nucleon)
- φgeom — geometric phase (modulo the hydrogen mass unit)
Quantum phase evolution becomes a discrete sawtooth, and state finalization is governed by a 12‑prime manifold:
[ M_{46} = {13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59} ]
The absence of integer midpoints between primes eliminates symmetric superposition, producing a deterministic “Proximity Snap” to the nearest prime anchor.
The model replaces stochastic wave‑function collapse with a nearest‑anchor minimization rule:
This yields a unique, computable final state for any geometric‑phase coordinate.
The geometric‑phase bandwidth is shown to be uniquely fixed at 60 units by:
- maximal geometric divisibility,
- embedding of 12 prime anchors,
- and torsional symmetry of the Generator Field.
The repository includes:
- Lagrangian formulation
- Hamiltonian formulation
- Operator algebra for deterministic evolution
- Tensor‑field interpretation of the Generator Field
Appendix H provides explicit, testable predictions:
- phase discontinuities at one hydrogen mass unit
- 12 discrete stability basins
- instability peak at coordinate 46
- quantized latent‑heat release
- deterministic GHZ correlations
- non‑Gaussian phase noise
- anchor‑dependent decoherence rates
- tensor‑strain prediction of the muon (g-2) anomaly
Includes:
- full 60‑unit coordinate table
- geometric‑phase sawtooth diagrams
- energy‑shear landscape
- deterministic finalization flowchart
- formal proofs (Appendices A–C)
