Built to Break: Falsifiable: A Quantum Collapse Postulate, Built and Broken in Real Time - Softcover
Synopsis
Wave function collapse doesn't need a conscious observer. It needs energy — real, thermodynamic, measurable energy, dissipated into a real environment.
Built to Break tells two stories at once.
The first is a physics postulate: an alternative to Copenhagen, GRW, CSL, and Diósi–Penrose, grounded in nothing more exotic than energy exchange between a quantum system and its environment, and a Heisenberg-type action threshold. No consciousness. No postulated universal noise field. Just dissipation, measured in joules, crossing a critical bound.
The second story is what actually happened while building it — including a single arithmetic error, missed for longer than it should have been, that threw a predicted collapse time off by twenty-six orders of magnitude before anyone caught it. Then a second, subtler error: a formula that produced stable, plausible-looking numbers while being dimensionally impossible underneath.
This book shows both, in full, without cleaning up the record afterward.
Inside:
- A complete derivation of the energy-dissipation threshold model, verified line by line and audited in SI units
- The mistakes, shown exactly as they happened — and how they were caught
- A rigorous comparison against CSL, GRW, and Diósi–Penrose
- A concrete, falsifiable experimental protocol for an optically levitated nanosphere, with real numbers a laboratory could test today
- An honest final chapter on what the postulate still cannot explain
Built to Break is not a book that claims to have solved the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. It is a record of building one honest, testable candidate solution — and being precise, in print, about exactly where it might still be wrong.
Written for readers with a working knowledge of quantum mechanics and open-system dynamics who want to see the mathematics, not just the conclusions.
