Fractal Decision-Branching Framework (FDBF): A Conceptual Framework for Modeling Decision Histories, Branching Structures, and Possible Correspondences with Everettian Interpretations

This working paper introduces the Fractal Decision-Branching Framework (FDBF), a conceptual framework for representing human decision histories as branching structures and for examining possible structural correspondences between decision-tree geometry, fractal or scale-dependent branching, and Everettian interpretations of quantum mechanics. FDBF distinguishes three epistemic levels: (1) established physical concepts such as quantum superposition and decoherence, (2) interpretive claims associated with the Everett/Many-Worlds family of quantum interpretations, and (3) new speculative hypotheses proposed by the framework. The model does not claim that conscious human decisions create new universes, nor does it treat fractal or branching structures observed in nature as evidence for the existence of a multiverse. Instead, it proposes that macroscopic decision points may be interpreted as observable markers of diverging histories within a branching description of reality. The paper develops a formal representation of decision branching, examines the conditions under which such structures could meaningfully be described as fractal or scale-dependent, discusses the relationship between decision histories and Everettian branching, and addresses falsifiability, epistemic limitations, and possible directions for future empirical development. FDBF is presented as a conceptual and interdisciplinary working framework spanning decision theory, philosophy of physics, complex systems, fractal geometry, and foundational questions in quantum mechanics.
