Paper 30: Measurement, Decoherence, and Collapse in the Holosphere Lattice

This paper presents a deterministic, coherence-based model of quantum measurement, decoherence, and collapse within Holosphere Theory. In this framework, space is a discrete lattice of rotating coherence units (Holospheres), and electrons are not point particles but triadic defect structures carrying three orbital coherence modes. Measurement occurs when an incoming orbital mode becomes incompatible with a structured detector region and exceeds a physical coherence threshold, triggering a finite-speed phase-locking cascade. Two locally engaged modes lock to the detector, while the remaining coherence-active mode can persist as a free coherence channel. Collapse is therefore partial, local, and causal, and it leaves a persistent memory imprint in the lattice that stabilizes outcomes and gives rise to classical behavior and an arrow of time. The Born rule emerges as an effective coarse-grained statistical law when microscopic mode cycling is unresolved, but the theory predicts small, time-structured deviations under finely time-resolved measurements. An explicit experimental protocol is proposed to test this prediction. The result is a realist account of measurement grounded in angular coherence geometry rather than probabilistic projection.
