The Quantum Wave Function “Collapse” Myth.
What is called “collapse” is simply the transition beyond the representational capacity of the quantum formalism.
At that threshold, we can no longer track or describe the combined system as a coherent superposition. The “collapse” is not a process in nature — it’s the moment the quantum language stops making sense.
So the wave function collapse is not a mysterious physical event; it’s the boundary marker of quantum mechanics itself — a signal that we’ve crossed from a low-complexity, linearly describable regime into a high-complexity, emergent one.
