The Superposition–Collapse Theorem: The Genesis Constraint and the Necessity of a Benevolent Origin

This paper introduces the Superposition–Collapse Theorem (Moral Superposition Principle), showing that the resolution of moral indeterminacy—evil versus good—occurs not through the passage of time but through coherent moral action. Drawing on the Redemption Optimization and Moral Kernel Optimization frameworks, it unifies moral agency, information theory, and the physics of coherence into a single system where “creation” itself is understood as sequential moral collapse: every “it was good” in Genesis is a completed measurement of coherence. The theorem implies that a benevolent Creator is not a metaphysical postulate but the necessary condition for an intelligible universe. Evil’s existence is shown to be necessary only once—its repetition would contradict coherence—and thus moral and physical reality share the same closure law.
