- <p>Wave-function collapse in the laboratory and the black-hole information puzzle share a hidden ingredient: every physical system can sustain phase-coherent relations only within a finite temporal window τ. Integrating out path-integral histories shorter than τ generically adds a universal Lindblad term</p> <p>\Gamma=\gamma_E+1/\tau,</p> <p>yielding the harmonic-mean collapse law that recent picosecond-scale interferometry is beginning to probe. Carrying the same τ into a Schwarzschild background shows that an infalling clock retains its local window while the exterior observer’s window is red-shifted to infinity at the horizon. The resulting dimensionless control parameter</p> <p>\chi \equiv (H_0 \tau)^{-1}</p> <p>therefore tends to zero for the outside observer, driving the cross-horizon Pattern–Temporal Synergy to vanish and reproducing the Page curve and Bekenstein–Hawking entropy without recourse to firewalls, islands, or ER = EPR identifications. Numerical lattice simulations of the theory independently confirm a universal critical point at χ_c ≈ 0.03, strengthening the case that this is a fundamental constant.</p> <p>The single parameter χ makes three falsifiable predictions:</p> <p>1. τ-engineering collapse tests in tabletop optics should trace the full harmonic-mean curve as detector jitter is swept from ≈500 ps to < 5 ps.</p> <p>2. A χ-dependent late-time drift in Hawking spectra should emerge as black-hole mass decreases.</p> <p>3. Black-hole ring-down modes acquire an excess damping (\chi\,\ell)/2 that the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) can measure for high-multipole overtones.</p> <p>One mechanism, one parameter—two long-standing paradoxes placed within experimental reach.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
