The Quantum Fluid Model: A Conceptual Framework for Unifying Quantum Measurement, Spacetime Geometry, and the Arrow of Time

This paper presents the Quantum Fluid Model, a conceptual framework that unifies the quantum measurement problem, the emergence of classical reality, time's arrow, and the nature of gravity under a single, self-referential paradigm: the universe as a quantum fluid. The core principles reinterpret observation as "crystallization," gravity as a "self-curvature constraint," and objective reality as a regional consensus from redundant information. The model offers intuitive resolutions to paradoxes like the delayed-choice quantum eraser and proposes testable corollaries, such as a potential spatial dependence of G. As a conceptual preprint, the model currently lacks a rigorous mathematical formalism. This paper is therefore a direct invitation for collaboration with the mathematical physics community to translate these ideas into a formal mathematical structure.
