On the Axioms of Quasi-Magnitude and Coherent Collapse

Version 2: This version corrects errors, improves exposition, and updates terminology and figures to better reflect the article’s scope, while preserving the original preprint’s central thesis and role within the MGQC research program. Abstract This article develops an axiomatic framework for quasi-magnitude and coherent collapse, addressing the status of magnitude prior to its realization as a real number. Classical mathematics typically treats magnitude as a fully realized scalar property, but such treatment presupposes a collapse that suppresses orientational and latent structure. We formalize a pre-collapsed domain composed of infinitely many quasi-states, introduce quasi-magnitude as a primitive carrier…
