Abstract

This work develops an operational framework separating quantum state dynamics (C2) from classical spacetime readout (C3) within an OT–SDW junction architecture. The Einstein–Hilbert sector is kept universal and state-independent (“Einstein lock”), while preparation dependence enters exclusively through a source-only constitutive response μ(pκ). Three main results are established: Deterministic-readout transparency: strictly unitary evolution cannot activate a classical metric readout channel. Minimal covariant closure: a state-dependent exchange current required by the Bianchi identity is derived in closed form. Certified emergence bounds: under modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, a quantitative timescale for entry into the classical-readout regime is obtained. The framework does not modify General Relativity in its classical domain; rather, it provides a regime-dependent interface between open quantum system dynamics and effective gravitational readout. In fully declassicalized regimes, the appropriate description remains entirely at the level of CPTP/GKSL state dynamics.
