This paper establishes a complete formal correspondence between quantum mechanics and Cognitive Field Dynamics (CFD), demonstrating that quantum mechanics constitutes the mathematical description of how consciousness interfaces with physical reality.

CORE THESIS: Quantum mechanics and Cognitive Field Dynamics describe the same phenomenon from different vantage points—quantum mechanics from external measurement, CFD from internal structure. The wave function describes uncommitted expectation-fields. Wave function collapse describes directional actualization. Measurement describes the forcing of directional commitment between expectation-structures.


COMPLETE MAPPING ESTABLISHED:

- Wave function ↔ Uncommitted expectation-field

- Wave function collapse ↔ Directional actualization

- Superposition ↔ Pre-directional possibility

- Quantum entanglement ↔ Shared expectation-field structure

- Born rule probability ↔ Directional weighting distribution

- Heisenberg uncertainty ↔ Orthogonal directional commitments

- Planck's constant ↔ Minimum directional quantum

- Hilbert space ↔ Possibility space geometry

- Quantum phase ↔ Temporal operator signature

- Decoherence ↔ Field stabilization feedback

- Quantum tunneling ↔ Directional leakage across thresholds

- Quantum spin ↔ Intrinsic directional orientation

- Pauli exclusion ↔ Anti-symmetric directional signature

- Quantum Zeno effect ↔ Forced duration extension

- Delayed choice ↔ History determined at commitment


PROBLEMS RESOLVED:

- The Measurement Problem: Dissolves when expectation-structure is recognized as the collapse mechanism

- The Hard Problem of Consciousness: Inverts when matter is understood as emergent from expectation-structure

- The Arrow of Time: Emerges from cumulative directional collapse

- The Cosmological Constant Problem: Resolved by distinguishing possibility from actuality

- Black Hole Information Paradox: Reframed as relational inaccessibility


COSMOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS:

- Dark matter interpreted as directionally-decoupled expectation-structure

- Dark energy interpreted as baseline temporal gradient (TG:FI)

- Fine-tuning reframed: consciousness produces universes, not vice versa


QUANTUM INTERPRETATIONS ANALYZED:

- Copenhagen Interpretation — Partial agreement

- Many-Worlds Interpretation — Disagreement

- QBism — Strong agreement

- Relational Quantum Mechanics — Strong agreement

- Bohmian Mechanics — Partial agreement
