Why Quantum Mechanics Works An FS–PS Derivation of Quantum Formalism

Abstract

This volume explains why the standard formalism of quantum mechanics is not merely successful, but structurally inevitable. Rather than proposing a new interpretation or modifying existing equations, this work derives quantum mechanics as the only stable descriptive framework compatible with the FSPS (Foundational Structure / Projected Structure) model. Within FSPS, observable physics (PS) arises as a projection from a non-geometric foundational layer (FS), and this projection necessarily introduces non-commutativity, probabilistic structure, and unitary evolution. The volume combines the axiomatic foundation of FSPS–00 v2.2 with a focused derivation showing that classical mechanics is structurally unstable under projection, while the Hilbert-space formalism of quantum mechanics represents the minimal information-preserving description. Measurement, wavefunction collapse, and probabilistic outcomes are treated not as additional physical processes but as re-projection and stabilization events within PS. No changes are made to Schrödinger dynamics, operator algebra, or experimental predictions. This work serves as a unifying explanation for why quantum mechanics has its present form, consolidating earlier FSPS-based analyses into a single, coherent account aligned with modern quantum theory.
