| contents | <p><span>This paper introduces the <strong>Proper-Time Projection Theory (PTP)</strong>, a framework in which quantum phenomena emerge from deterministic field dynamics evolving in <strong>proper time</strong> and projected into <strong>observer time</strong> with finite temporal resolution. Within this formulation, the probabilistic structure of quantum mechanics is interpreted not as fundamental, but as a consequence of <strong>temporal coarse-graining</strong> imposed by measurement. The theory recovers the <strong>Schrödinger equation</strong> as an effective observer-time evolution law and derives the <strong>quantum potential</strong> as a leading correction arising from information loss under projection. It extends conceptually to <strong>quantum field theory (QFT)</strong> by reinterpreting particle creation and annihilation as projection-dependent field excitations. The framework preserves empirical structures such as <strong>Bell correlations</strong> while offering a deterministic underpinning. A central conceptual tool is the analogy to <strong>shutter speed in photography</strong>, in which insufficient temporal resolution produces apparent blur. Extending this analogy, the theory proposes that <strong>superposition is relative</strong>, and that the <strong>observer effect</strong> arises from projection dynamics rather than wavefunction collapse. The theory yields a concrete experimental prediction: <strong>interference visibility should depend on measurement temporal resolution</strong>. If confirmed, this would support a reinterpretation of quantum mechanics as an emergent theory grounded in deterministic proper-time evolution.</span></p> <p><em><span>Keywords:</span></em><span> quantum mechanics, relativity, measurement theory, interference, temporal resolution</span></p> |
