ERC Coherence Standing Wave Paper

This collection presents the complete Entropy-Referenced Coherence (ERC) framework, a unified theory connecting quantum measurement, particle phenomenology, and cosmological structure formation through a single dimensionless coupling constant γ_MRC ≈ 10⁻⁴. Paper 1 (Decoherence) establishes the microphysical foundation: quantum decoherence is governed by cosmic entropy production via a Lindblad master equation with horizon-bath coupling. The coupling γ_MRC is determined from particle-physics data: rare decays (LHCb), electroweak precision (HL-LHC), and high-p_T tails (ATLAS/CMS). Paper 2 (Standing Waves) applies ERC to cosmology: a coherence scalar field produces standing-wave patterns frozen by entropy-driven decoherence, acting as dark matter. The framework fits 171 SPARC rotation curves better than NFW/MOND (χ²_red = 0.46 vs 0.78/0.65) and predicts testable filament-scale structure (~15 Mpc spacing). Paper 3 Collective Coupling Document as a Fusing Addendum within the Entropy Reference Coherence Model Key Innovation: The same γ_MRC fixed by collider data quantitatively justifies the galactic static limit, enabling SPARC fits and filament predictions without new free parameters. This parameter-economy chain—colliders → decoherence → galactic damping → cosmic structure—distinguishes ERC from ad hoc dark matter models. Together, these papers demonstrate a falsifiable, multi-scale theory linking particle physics to galactic dynamics and cosmic structure, with explicit predictions testable by DESI, Euclid, and future collider experiments.
