A Contextual Phase Mechanism Proposed to Explain Wavefunction Collapse in Entangled Subsystem MeasurementsScholes (arXiv:2605.20111) proposes a concrete mechanism for wavefunction collapse in entangled quantum systems, centered on a "contextual phase" that is randomly installed into an entangled state at its formation. This phase locks the entangled subsystems together and determinis…
