The Trifield Framework: Phenomenological Modeling of the Quantum-to-Classical Transition in Cosmology

Standard cosmological paradigms treat particle, event, and inflationary horizons as dis-connected geometric artifacts of general relativity. In this paper, we propose the TrifieldFramework, a conceptual and phenomenological model that maps these macro-scale bound-aries as localized, thermodynamic phase transitions within a continuous open quantum sys-tem. Because discrete two-level systems (qubits) are mathematically insufficient to repre-sent continuous spacetime metrics, we map these cosmic phases using the architecture ofContinuous-Variable Quantum Information (CVQI): the initialized Ground Phase (|1⟩), thesuperposed Wave Phase (|ψ⟩), and the classical Excitation Phase (|0⟩).Rather than attempting a rigorous mathematical unification of disparate quantum grav-ity theories, this framework provides a heuristic architecture. We model the transition fromcontinuous pre-inflationary states to discrete spacetime geometries as an informational super-position, and we apply Lindblad jump operators to phenomenologically model environmentaldecoherence during the reheating epoch. Finally, we incorporate thermodynamic principlesinspired by Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) to explore how the universe might reset itsinformational entropy. Ultimately, the Trifield Framework offers a unifying conceptual lensfor understanding the quantum-to-classical transition of the cosmos.
