   6# QF-001: Measurement Problem and Wavefunction Collapse
   7
   8**Target**: Derive the measurement postulate from Recognition Science's ledger structure.
   9
  10## Core Insight
  11
  12The "measurement problem" in quantum mechanics asks: Why does measurement cause wavefunction
  13collapse? In standard QM, this is an ad-hoc postulate. In RS, it emerges naturally from
  14**ledger commitment**.
  15
  16## The RS Resolution
  17
  181. **Superposition = Uncommitted Ledger Entry**
  19   - Before measurement, a quantum state is a superposition
  20   - In RS terms: the ledger entry exists but is not yet committed
  21   - Multiple "branches" coexist in the ledger's working memory
  22
  232. **Measurement = Ledger Commitment**
  24   - When a measurement occurs, the ledger must balance
  25   - This forces a commitment to one definite value
  26   - The other branches are "cancelled" (not destroyed, just not recorded)
  27
  283. **Probabilities from J-Cost**
  29   - The probability of each outcome follows from the J-cost
  30   - Lower-cost branches are more probable
  31   - This gives the Born rule: P ∝ |ψ|²
  32
  33## The Born Rule Derivation
  34
  35The key insight: |ψ|² gives the relative recognition cost of each branch.
  36When the ledger commits, it selects the branch with probability proportional
  37to its "recognition weight" = |amplitude|².
