| contents | <p>This work provides a structural derivation of the quadratic form of the Born rule in quantum mechanics. Rather than postulating the probability rule as a foundational axiom, the paper proves that the exponent governing quantum probabilities is uniquely fixed by stability, contractivity, and duality requirements imposed on admissible physical laws.</p> <p>The analysis is carried out within a general operator-theoretic and law-space framework, in which physical laws are treated as fixed points of recursive generative dynamics. By combining strict contractive flow (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17851714">Kappa Law</a>), topological rigidity (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17823404">Law of Endogenous Constraint</a>), and algebra–geometry duality (Monad Duality), the paper demonstrates that only the Hilbert–Schmidt geometry is compatible with global stability of law evolution. As a consequence, the quadratic probability rule emerges as a rigid structural invariant rather than a free modeling choice.</p> <p>The result implies that any hypothetical modification of quantum theory based on non-quadratic probability rules would necessarily violate at least one of the fundamental structural requirements of admissible physical law, such as uniform contractivity, spectral stability, or duality consistency.</p> <p><strong>Relation to Tier-1 dynamical formulation:</strong></p> <p>This work develops a law-level (structural) resolution of the Born exponent.
