From Quantum to Cosmos: A Planck-Covariant, Unitary Solution to the Measurement Problem σₚ = ℓₚ·tₚ = ℏG/c⁴
We present a minimal, covariant solution to the quantum measurement problem that retains global unitarity. Composite operators are constructed by Planck-covariant smearing over the invariant two-measure σₚ = ℓₚ·tₚ = ℏG/c⁴. The reduced system evolves under a universal master equation with double-commutator dissipators fixed by the smearing scales (L, τ), constrained by L·τ = σₚ: • energy-basis dephasing: −(τ² / 2ℏ²) [H_S, [H_S, ρ_S]]• pointer-basis dephasing: −(1 / 2L²) Σ_α [X_α, [X_α, ρ_S]] These terms generate objective, covariant decoherence while preserving conservation laws and introducing no new fundamental constants beyond {ℏ, c, G, k_B}. The framework yields scaling laws for decoherence rates, Γ_σ(a, b) ≈ (τ² / 2ℏ²) (ΔE_ab)² + (1 / 2L²) Σ_α (ΔX_{α,ab})², where ΔE_ab and ΔX_{α,ab} are energy and pointer-observable gaps between branches. We show how pointer states and Born weights emerge operationally via redundancy and typicality, and we outline falsifiable signatures for mesoscopic interferometry, levitated optomechanics, and superconducting platforms. The proposal is fully unitary at the global level, covariant by construction, and fixed by the Planck two-measure σₚ rather than by new sectors or ad-hoc collapse postulates.
