Title: A Perspective-Based Solution for Wave Function Collapse and Wave-Particle Duality
Author: Anonymous (via P.S. March)[1]
Abstract
What if all matter is fundamentally wave-like and the particle view of reality is just an observational artifact from a head-on (or tail-on) view of a wave? And wave-particle duality and wave collapse observations in quantum physics are just illusions resulting from limited perspective?
This Theorem proposes that wave-particle duality and wave function collapse are not fundamental physical phenomena but instead artifacts of observer-dependent perspective within an infinitely fluctuating spherical probability field. In this framework, quantum entities exist as continuous wave distributions, and the apparent transition to particle-like behavior results from viewing a quantum system from a singular positional slice on an expanding or contracting infinite ball-like probability field. Additionally, this Theorem extends to incorporate time as the missing dimension in wave function collapse, suggesting that the perception of wave function collapse depends on the observer’s position within a gravitational field. This means that – distinct from the less sensible idea that the act of observing changes an object itself – gravitational time dilation and observer location affect when and how wave collapse is perceived, making it a relative phenomenon rather than an absolute event. The Theorem further provides a novel interpretation of wave-particle duality, proposing that quantum objects do not physically switch between or inhabit both wave and particle states, but instead appear one way or the other depending on the observer’s position and measurement perspective within the probability field. This model advances concepts introduced by Einstein's General Relativity, which describes time as relative to the observer’s gravitational field, and Roger Penrose’s Gravitational Collapse Hypothesis, which suggests that gravity plays a role in wave function collapse.

Conclusion
This Theorem offers a unique and straightforward geometric explanation of the quantum collapse phenomenon and wave-particle duality, challenging some traditional assumptions of measurement and observation. By treating quantum states as existing in an expanding or contracting infinite spherical probability field and incorporating time as an observer-dependent factor influenced by gravity, this model reframes quantum duality and proposes a fundamentally perspective-driven quantum reality. Accordingly, we find that there is no collapse - only interaction. What we perceive is the wave itself - real and present - but filtered through a narrow perspective that makes it appear particle-like. The particle is the misreading, not the manifestation.
