Observation as Access: A Quantum Traction Theory Dissolution of the Measurement Problem

Collapse as conditioning on a recorded address sector Version: 4.0 First public release: 2026-05-11 Current release: 2026-06-26 Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20114403 Author: Ali Attar Website: quantumtraction.org Main book anchor: Quantum Traction Theory: Main Book v10.01 The measurement problem asks why a wavefunction that evolves smoothly appears to select one recorded outcome. This paper changes the primitive object: the laboratory wavefunction is not the source ledger itself, but a projection of a real- \(J\), address-indexed substrate amplitude, \[ \rho((x,n)\mid T). \] The laboratory wavefunction is the access readout \[ \Psi(x,\tau) = {1\over\sqrt{\mathcal N_\Psi}} \sum_{n\in\mathbb Z}\rho((x,n)\mid…
