contents <p>We propose Coordinate Slicing Theory (CST), an interpretive framework for quantum mechanics that maintains a single realized reality without hidden variables, branching worlds, or observer-dependent collapse. CST posits that physical systems extend not only through spacetime but also through an additional probability dimension (p), understood as an ontic-structural component of reality rather than a catalogue of pre-existing outcomes or mere epistemic uncertainty.</p> <p>Definite physical facts are created through interaction via “slicing”: a localized interaction that produces stable relational facts by localizing a system’s extension in (p). Classical definiteness arises from continual environmental slicing, while quantum phenomena appear when (p)-extension persists until interaction. Entanglement is reinterpreted geometrically as shared probability structure: entangled systems occupy a common (p)-structure (for relevant properties), so a single slicing event jointly creates correlated outcomes without signaling, temporal ordering, or pre-existing values.</p> <p>CST is an interpretation, not a modification of quantum dynamics, and is empirically equivalent to standard quantum mechanics. To demonstrate internal consistency and mathematical viability, we construct toy models in which quantum states arise as projections of densities on probability manifolds (e.g., S² for qubits and CP³ for two-qubit systems), reproducing the Born rule and Bell correlations under stated symmetry and concentration assumptions, and giving a foliation-independent update scheme for spacelike-separated interactions.</p>
