Quantum Foundations III

Relational Sector Reconstruction and the Coupling Obstruction

A visual journey through independent phase sectors and the problem of interaction.

Definitional Adequacy of Relational Sectors

DEFINED HERE

The central question is not

Do multiple sectors definitely exist?

It is

If relational configuration space admits multiple invariant sectors, is exact transport invariance an adequate definition of those sectors?

Then: what follows mathematically from that definition?

Where Does QM3 Fit?

  1. PDT0

    Primitive relational framework

  2. R-Series

    Realisation and transport foundations

  3. QM1

    Complex / Hermitian structure

  4. QM2

    Continuous transport

  5. QM3

    Sector adequacy

  6. Later Reconstruction

    Coupling and physical structure

QM3 does not construct the primitive relational framework or derive continuous transport from scratch. It investigates what happens when the preceding framework is considered on a configuration space that may contain invariant sectors.

What Is Being Divided Into Sectors?

The sectors considered here belong to relational configuration space. They are not regions of ordinary physical space. A sector represents a class of configurations preserved by the relevant transport structure.

  • INHERITEDStructure supplied by preceding foundational work.
  • SUPPOSEDA structure considered for the purpose of the QM3 analysis but not derived by QM3.
  • DEFINED HEREA candidate mathematical definition introduced and tested by QM3.
  • DERIVED CONDITIONALLYA mathematical consequence that follows if the preceding suppositions and definitions hold.
  • OPENA question not established by the present framework.
  • NEXTA problem belonging to later reconstruction.
