Operational Quantum Mechanics: Structural Dissolution of Schrödinger's Cat

Abstract

Operational Quantum Mechanics presents a structural reinterpretation of quantum theory grounded in two axioms derived from Cognitional Mechanics: non-commutativity of operations (A∘B ≠ B∘A) and finite operational resolution (Level of Detail). The wave function Ψ is redefined as Operational Potential Density (ρ_op) encoding resource distribution for Type I internal generation—the symmetrical counterpart to Universal Relativity's Type II external constraint expressed through operational delay δt(x). Quantum probability arises epistemically from finite resolution limits rather than ontologically from fundamental randomness. Wave function "collapse" becomes an operationally grounded Commit operation triggered by interface formation between systems, eliminating observer dependence and resolving the measurement problem through deterministic buffer resolution. Schrödinger's cat paradox dissolves structurally via four discrete operational steps: queueing of decay trigger as pending operation, thresholding at specific operational cycle, committing to single state via projection ρ ↦ P_iρP_i/Tr(P_iρP_i), and reporting as read command to pre-determined memory address. The cat exists in a pending execution state—not ontological superposition—until interface-triggered Commit resolves unresolved operational cycles below the resolution limit. Born rule statistics |Ψ|² = ρ_op are adopted as the canonical projection measure compatible with resource conservation and tensor-product linearity. Bell inequality violations follow from the logical impossibility of factorization under non-commutativity and finite resolution. This framework maintains strict mathematical equivalence with standard quantum mechanics while repositioning probability as an epistemic consequence of structural resolution limits inherent to non-commutative operational structures.
