Dynamic Harmony Structural Stress-Test Series — Paper 2: Objective Collapse and the Structural Boundary of Emergence (GRW Model)
Abstract
Dynamic Harmony Structural Stress-Test Series. This paper evaluates the Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber (GRW) objective collapse model as a candidate mechanism for the emergence of classical behavior from quantum systems. The analysis examines whether collapse dynamics satisfy the structural conditions required for genuine emergence within the Dynamic Harmony framework. The paper applies the Phase Non-Substitutability Test introduced in Paper 0 and the architectural boundary criterion developed in Paper 0B to determine whether collapse processes produce a transformation in system architecture or whether they remain configurational rearrangements within an existing quantum state space. The analysis clarifies the relationship between stochastic collapse dynamics and the structural requirements for Type-2 emergence. This paper forms part of the Dynamic Harmony Structural Stress-Test Series, a research program that evaluates major theories of emergence across physics, biology, and complex systems through adversarial structural analysis.
