Deriving the Form of the Born Distribution from the Reproducing-Kernel Property of a Localized Odd-Harmonic Wave: Reducing the Remaining Postulates to the Squaring Rule and Randomness

We regard the constant-amplitude odd-harmonic sum S_N (isolated peak wave) on the half-wavelength phase interval as the localized kernel of observation, and adopt two premises: (i) observation is the convolution of the kernel with phase differences and the probability is the square of the observed amplitude; (ii) phase differences finer than the band are ignored (finite-N truncation). Because S_N is the truncated reproducing kernel of the odd-harmonic basis on this interval, the observed amplitude reproduces any band-limited base wave without distortion, and the observed distribution coincides exactly with |psi|^2 (after normalization). For a complex base wave the squaring becomes a genuine modulus |Z|^2 = Z conj(Z) (not Z^2), reaching the real-imaginary cross structure of the Born square. The paper derives the FORM of the distribution (faithful reproduction by the reproducing-kernel property); the squaring rule and the probability interpretation remain postulates. It does not claim to derive the Born rule or solve the measurement problem; rather it reduces the remaining postulates to the squaring rule and the existence of randomness. The reproducing-kernel identity itself is a classical fact of Fourier analysis (Dirichlet kernel / RKHS); the novelty is the mapping between the physical localized wave, its reproducing kernel, and the observation model. All results are reproduced to machine precision by the accompanying verification code.

Abstract

We regard the constant-amplitude odd-harmonic sum S_N (isolated peak wave) on the half-wavelength phase interval as the localized kernel of observation, and adopt two premises: (i) observation is the convolution of the kernel with phase differences and the probability is the square of the observed amplitude; (ii) phase differences finer than the band are ignored (finite-N truncation). Because S_N is the truncated reproducing kernel of the odd-harmonic basis on this interval, the observed amplitude reproduces any band-limited base wave without distortion, and the observed distribution coincides exactly with |psi|^2 (after normalization). For a complex base wave the squaring becomes a genuine modulus |Z|^2 = Z conj(Z) (not Z^2), reaching the real-imaginary cross structure of the Born square. The paper derives the FORM of the distribution (faithful reproduction by the reproducing-kernel property); the squaring rule and the probability interpretation remain postulates. It does not claim to derive the Born rule or solve the measurement problem; rather it reduces the remaining postulates to the squaring rule and the existence of randomness. The reproducing-kernel identity itself is a classical fact of Fourier analysis (Dirichlet kernel / RKHS); the novelty is the mapping between the physical localized wave, its reproducing kernel, and the observation model. All results are reproduced to machine precision by the accompanying verification code.
