This document presents a phenomenological framework describing quantum decoherence through a single compact formula: ln V = −0. 5 × (ωσ) ² × λᵅ. The model accommodates different decoherence mechanisms within a unified mathematical structure, with α as the mechanism-distinguishing parameter (α=1 for gas collision, α≈2 for thermal radiation). It fits existing C70 fullerene interferometry data and generates a novel, falsifiable prediction — the Time-Scheduling Effect — which predicts that under matched average decoherence rates (∫Γ dt), pulsed observation suppresses visibility more strongly than continuous observation (Vₚulse < Vcont). Standard linear decoherence theory predicts Vₚulse = Vcont under the same conditions. Mathematical formalization was completed with AI assistance (Claude, Anthropic) ; the original conceptual framework and physical reasoning are the author's own.
