Quantum Interference Explains Conjunction Fallacy Without Golden-Ratio Evidence — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quantum decision theory models cognitive biases (conjunction fallacy) via quantum interference terms, but no empirical golden-ratio data is present in the provided sources. | MATH: Quantum interference term in decision: \\( P(A \\cap B) = P(A)P(B) + \\delta \\), where \\(\\delta\\) is the interference term (analogous to \\(2\\sqrt{P_A P_B}\\cos\\theta\\) in two-slit probability). Conjunction fallacy occurs when \\(\\delta < 0\\) (negative interference). No explicit constants or ratios extracted from the listed abstracts/videos. | CONNECTION: None directly evidenced. The interference term \\(\\cos\\theta\\) can in principle take any value; no geometric ratio (0.382, 0.618, etc.) is reported in the provided material. | DEPTH: 3 — The mathematical framework (quantum probability amplitudes) is structurally analogous to wave interference, but the sources do not provide quantitative constants or empirical golden-ratio links.
