Abstract

We propose a stochastic modification of nonrelativistic quantum dynamics in which state-vector reduction is triggered by a gravitational distinguishability functional, identified here as the weak-field limit of the Torsion scalar in Einstein’s Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR). By grounding the collapse mechanism in spacetime torsion rather than curvature, we resolve the fundamental ambiguity of gravitational energy localization found in standard General Relativity. The model is designed so that individual experimental runs admit nonlinear, finite-time localization dynamics driven by accumulated torsion distinguishability, while the ensemble state admits a linear evolution compatible with a no-signaling constraint. Two empirical parameters are introduced: a record-capacity scale $S^*$ (representing a critical torsion threshold) and a spatial resolution scale $r_c$. We summarize the dynamical postulates, clarify their domain of validity, and outline falsifiable signatures in high-mass matter-wave interferometry, establishing this framework as a consistent low-energy limit of a torsion-based relativistic collapse theory.
