Observer-Differentiated Quantum Collapse: A Formal Extension of Orchestrated Objective Reduction

Key Points

• The study aims to extend the Orch OR framework by incorporating observer differentiation to explore new dynamics in quantum collapse.
• Introduced the Observer Coherence Operator C-hat and Ancestral Coupling Hamiltonian H_AC.
• Derived a modified collapse time tau_ODC based on observer coherence and standard Orch OR dynamics.
• Developed three falsifiable predictions for testing with existing technology.
• Presented a new formula for collapse time that is influenced by observer coherence.
• Demonstrated that the standard Orch OR framework is a special case of the new model.
• Provided experimental predictions that can be verified with neurophysiology and quantum measurement techniques.
