| # Born Rule Collapse - Formal Specification
|
| # Ahmad Ali Parr Β· 2026-08-03
|
|
|
| Formal verification of quantum measurement collapse via Born rule.
|
|
|
| ## Specification
|
|
|
| Given quantum samples from ANU QRNG (real vacuum fluctuations):
|
| 1. Normalize uint16 β [0,1]
|
| 2. Filter through thermal window [thermalMin, thermalMax]
|
| 3. Apply Born rule: equal weights within window
|
| 4. Collapse to dominant branch (first surviving)
|
|
|
| ## Properties to Prove
|
|
|
| 1. **Termination**: `bornCollapse` always terminates
|
| 2. **Validity**: Output β [thermalMin, thermalMax] when non-vacuum
|
| 3. **Probability**: Collapsed value has valid probability measure
|
| 4. **Vacuum State**: Empty window correctly returns None
|
| 5. **Maximum Entropy**: Equal weights maximize entropy within thermal window
|
|
|
| ## Reference Implementation
|
|
|
| JavaScript (backend/bob/quantum.mjs):
|
| ```javascript
|
| export async function bornCollapse (thermalMin = 0.2, thermalMax = 0.8) {
|
| const samples = await getQuantumSamples(32)
|
| const normalized = samples.map(v => v / 65535)
|
| const inWindow = normalized.filter(v => v >= thermalMin && v <= thermalMax)
|
| if (inWindow.length === 0) return null // vacuum state
|
| const weights = inWindow.map(v => ({ value: v, weight: 1 / inWindow.length }))
|
| const dominant = weights.sort((a, b) => b.weight - a.weight)[0]
|
| return {
|
| collapsed: dominant.value,
|
| branchCount: inWindow.length,
|
| totalBranches: samples.length,
|
| isVacuum: false
|
| }
|
| }
|
| ```
