Quantum State Geometry (QSG) - The Philosophical View of Existence

We provide a philosophical analysis of Quantum State Geometry (QSG). QSG is not a new particle or a new force, but a proposal for a bounded ontology: existence is coextensive with distinguishability in a compact projective space $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Time is not a container but an accumulation of Fubini-Study distance, $dt = \hbar/\Delta E\, ds_{FS}$. The engine of time is not interaction but positive curvature $R_{FS}>0$ driving Jacobi divergence $\ddot{\xi}+R_{FS}\xi=0$. We argue this constitutes a third path beyond substantival and relational time: an objective, geometric becoming that resolves the measurement problem without an external observer, and establishes a framework of Ontic Structural Realism (OSR).

Abstract

We provide a philosophical analysis of Quantum State Geometry (QSG). QSG is not a new particle or a new force, but a proposal for a bounded ontology: existence is coextensive with distinguishability in a compact projective space $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Time is not a container but an accumulation of Fubini-Study distance, $dt = \hbar/\Delta E\, ds_{FS}$. The engine of time is not interaction but positive curvature $R_{FS}>0$ driving Jacobi divergence $\ddot{\xi}+R_{FS}\xi=0$. We argue this constitutes a third path beyond substantival and relational time: an objective, geometric becoming that resolves the measurement problem without an external observer, and establishes a framework of Ontic Structural Realism (OSR).
