Proper Time as Accumulated Decoherence
Abstract
An operational interpretation of proper time in which clock readings arise from accumulated decoherence in open quantum systems, reproducing relativistic time dilation without modifying standard quantum or relativistic dynamics. Supplementary experimental approaches to testing Decoherence-based proper time.
