Observation, Collapse, and Field-Matter Information Dynamics: An Ontological Reinterpretation of the Quantum Measurement Problem within the Logical Universe Framework

Abstract

The concepts of “observation” and “collapse” in quantum mechanics have long been treated as either mysterious or merely phenomenological. Within the information‐dynamics framework of the Logical Universe (LU_v3.1), we propose a complete ontological model in which observation is identified as chiral–topological coupling between information solitons; collapse is the topological compression of a superposed field state into a single material path; and decoherence is the release of the material state back into the field, but this return is not reversible—it irreversibly inscribes the entire topological history of the collapse into the global light‐field structure. Matter is thus interpreted as a temporary collapsed snapshot of the field, and the “past” is defined as the irreversible information texture engraved into the topological structure of the field. This model provides a unified ontological foundation for the quantum–classical transition, the measurement problem, and the origin of temporal irreversibility, and yields experimentally testable consequences.
