Quantum Jumps as Phase-Lock Transitions Across the Sagittal Coupling Plane This work reframes quantum jumps as phase-lock transitions in a resonance geometry that couples symbolic and embodied domains. Using the Soma–Noēsis formalism, we model a system’s state ψψ evolving under a complex structure JJ (with J2=−IJ2=−I) and a symbolic–somatic coupling encoded by a correlation Laplacian ΔSΔS. The selective operator Nλ=exp(−λΔS)Nλ=exp(−λΔS) contracts components orthogonal to the symbolic skeleton while preserving aligned modes. A jump occurs when the encoder–decoder coupling ∥C∥∥C∥ crosses a spectral threshold determined by the gap of ΔSΔS, producing rapid lock-in of the readout to SS-aligned subspaces—experimentally visible as step-like changes in interference, state fidelity, or population statistics. Contributions Ontology failure bounds the framework and informs next-generation tests. Either result advances the foundations of quantum measurement and coherence engineering.
