Emergent Wavefunction Collapse

In standard quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is introduced as an external postulate,incompatible with unitary dynamics. In this work we show that collapse emerges naturally fromthe Universal Ψ variational principle, without additional assumptions. The collapse is identifiedas a dynamical loss of metastability of superposed configurations under a closed, nonlinear, globalfunctional. Measurement is reinterpreted as a stability selection process in configuration space, andthe Born rule emerges from the geometry of attraction basins.
