From Possibility to Actualization: A Minimal Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, and Their Unification The Quantum Reality Framework (QRF)

We present the Quantum Reality Framework (QRF), a minimal ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics and special relativity constructed from a single primitive concept: structural openness with actualization disposition and tendency (Seinspunkt). From this primitive and three axioms, we formally derive the Born rule (via Gleason 1957), the Lorentz metric (via Malament 1977), the Standard Model gauge group U (1) ×SU (2) ×SU (3) and its Z6 quotient structure (via Hopf fibration hierarchy and Hurwitz 1898), a fine structure constant candidate 1/ (14π²) agreeing to 99. 17% with measurement, a fermion mass scheme from G2 Fano topology, and a cosmological constant consistent with observation via the Sorkin mechanism on causal sets. QRF solves the quantum measurement problem without additional postulates: it requires neither a block universe, nor Many Worlds branching, nor a pilot wave, nor instrumentalist agnosticism. Non-locality, interference, entanglement, tunneling, and spin all receive structural derivations within the framework. A master equation iħ·∂W A = Hₘatter + Hgravity, A unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity with both as limiting cases. This paper serves two explicit goals, both of which we regard as achieved: (1) demonstrating that a coherent fifth interpretation of quantum mechanics exists beyond the four established paradigms; and (2) demonstrating that substantive quasi-academic research is feasible within a sustained human-AI collaboration. Both goals are addressed explicitly in the text. Six falsifiable experimental predictions are formulated. The most urgent is the qubit/qutrit decoherence ratio 3/5 across two distinct qubit architectures. The most novel is a quadratic Lorentz invariance violation δv/v ~ - (E/EPlanck) ²/6, testable with the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
