The Gravity of Probability: A Semi-Classical Framework for Gravitational Effects of Quantum Probability

Spacetime curvature is shaped not just by what is, but by what could have been.<i>Symbolic shorthand: G = T + Ψ</i><br><br>This paper proposes a semi-classical framework in which gravitational curvature is influenced not only byrealized mass-energy but also by the probability distribution of uncollapsed quantum states. Drawing from<br>quantum mechanics, general relativity, and entropy theory, the hypothesis suggests that wavefunction col-lapse is not a passive event, but a transition during which unrealized quantum possibilities exert a temporary<br>gravitational influence.<br>This framework interprets the missing gravitational mass currently attributed to dark matter as the transientcurvature produced by quantum branches that collapse moment by moment.<br>Toy model equations and falsifiable predictions are developed, including a quantifiable gravitational signature expected from high-entropy quantum systems compared to low-entropy inert systems of equal mass. This prediction serves as a testable consequence of the hypothesis and reflects the probabilistic curvature contribution from uncollapsed wavefunction structures.Simply put, reality is just the thing most likely to happen next. But for the sake of scientific rigor, the hypothesis aims to invite further mathematical development, experimental consideration, and conceptual scrutiny.<br><br>Author: Jordan WatersAnchorage, Alaska, USA<br>[email protected]
