MQ derives quantum probabilities from normalized measurement availability

The Born-rule account places probability before the wave-function representation in its explanatory sequence.

· Recorded source or audit snapshot · Retrospective release

CHICAGO — MQ’s quantum-measurement account constructs probabilities from normalized availability associated with physical records, then represents that probability structure with a wave function. The approach proposes an explanation of the Born rule rather than a replacement for its familiar observational predictions.

Figure 1. Source-based summary of the construction and its stated limits. The panels organize the cited facts; they are not an additional physical derivation or a new observation.

The starting point is a count description of available interactions or records. Normalization converts the relevant measure into a probability assignment. In the subsequent amplitude-and-phase representation, the squared magnitude of the wave function equals the normalized density by construction.

That ordering is the main conceptual claim. The wave function is a representation of the realized probability structure, rather than an independently postulated substance whose square somehow creates probability. The manuscript extends the construction to general observables through the appropriate mathematical completion.

The Internal Frame contains the underlying count structure. Probability and the continuous wave-function representation belong to the System Frame after realization through the Frames mapping. The distinction is intended to explain why a discrete description can support the continuous probability tools used in quantum mechanics.

The normalization and representation steps have assumptions. Showing that a wave-function definition produces the usual squared-amplitude relation is not, by itself, an experimental discrimination among interpretations. The stronger question is whether the underlying count measure, record map, and completion are justified without importing the desired probability law in disguised form.

The work therefore provides a theoretical reconstruction that outside researchers can inspect. It does not announce new detector data or a measured departure from quantum mechanics. For science reporting, its interest lies in the explanatory sequence and the conditions under which it recovers standard probabilities for more than a single simple example.
