Photon Superposition Explained from First Principles: Empirical Confirmation of temporal relational framing

We present the first direct empirical confirmation that photon quantum superposition is aderivable consequence of Pattern Algebra v6.1 (PA), requiring no additional postulates beyondthe eleven axioms. Using raw measurement data from the IBM ibm_fez superconductingquantum processor (13 rotation angles, 2000 shots per angle, 26,000 total measurements), wedemonstrate that all five empirically separable aspects of photon superposition — co-presenceof configurations, interference, measurement collapse, Born-rule statistics, and photon identity— are directly explained by identified PA mechanisms (T-OBS T2, T4, T3, Theorem Born, andA11 respectively) with zero free parameters.
