| contents | <p>We propose a heuristic refinement of the idea that spacetime curvature responds primarily to<br>the classicalized portion of quantum stress-energy, i.e., the part that becomes operationally real via<br>irreversible information registration (environmental monitoring / decoherence / collapse-like dynamics).<br>The key move is to replace an undefined "information rate" source with a covariant,<br>observer-independent scalar that quantifies irreversibility (entropy production or Lindblad entropy rate),<br>and to embed the proposal within a stochastic semiclassical gravity picture: the metric couples to a<br>conditional (record-dependent) stress-energy rather than to the raw vacuum expectation value. In this<br>framing, Lorentz-invariant vacuum contributions are absorbed into the renormalized cosmological<br>constant, while additional large vacuum estimates are dynamically sequestered unless they are<br>converted into persistent records by boundary conditions or matter. We outline consistency conditions<br>(covariant conservation, Newtonian limit, and Equivalence Principle bounds) and propose experimental<br>routes that directly test gravitational sourcing by mesoscopic quantum states.</p> |
