contents <p>We study whether wave-particle duality can be approached from the visible action of the α-β-<br>φ framework. We begin from the linearized visible sector, where φ acts as the visible propagating</p> <p>channel and β as the structural channel, with both sectors mixed by the action-derived Hessian<br>μφβ = ∂φ∂βV |0. We then couple the visible system to an external environment through an<br>observable combination O = δβ + η δφ. After integrating out the environment, we derive a<br>reduced master equation whose decoherence term suppresses off-diagonal coherences in the O<br>basis. Finally, for a two-packet Gaussian superposition, we obtain an explicit detection profile in<br>which the interference term is exponentially damped by the decoherence rate Γ = D0(OL−OR)<br>2<br>.<br>The result provides a controlled action-based route from coherent wave-like propagation to<br>effective particle-like localization in the linearized visible sector. The derivation is effective,<br>open-system, and branch-level; it does not yet amount to a complete nonperturbative theory of<br>measurement in the full interacting framework.</p>
