Version noteThis report extends the Time Frameworks (TF1.0, TF2.0) with an operational account of quantum superposition. Whereas TF1.0/TF2.0 formalize time as sequences of Planck ticks and calibrate particle-as-clock thinking, the present framework applies that timing logic directly to superposition across platforms. What this work doesWe model superposition as a time-resolved process: within a detector observation window Δt_obs, only a fraction of phase-preserved frames contributes coherently. Let γ(Δt_obs) denote that coherence fraction. For generic two-path/two-state scenarios, the measurable signal decomposes into an incoherent baseline plus a γ-weighted interference term, so fringe visibility obeys the operational law V = γ. As Δt_obs shortens (or effective which-path information increases), γ decreases monotonically and V falls accordingly. Predictions & checks– Time gating reduces V in a controlled, monotonic way; long coherent dwell times increase V.– The description is consistent with V² + D² ≤ 1, with D the distinguishability.– The same timing control applies beyond photons (e.g., atom/matter-wave interferometry) by using the system’s natural frequency as a clock and normalizing to the Planck-tick scale. Relation to other frameworksThis Superposition framework is an operational supplement to Time framework 1.0 and Time framework 2.0, and it complements the Photon framework v1.0 (double-slit specialization). Together they provide a unified, time-framed route from discrete ticks to testable visibility laws.
