Quantum Causal Entropy : Philosophy of Quantum Physics

Quantum mechanics exhibits conceptual tensions regarding the nature of quan tum states, the ontology of measurement, and the epistemic role of observers. Con ventional interpretations face unresolved questions concerning nonlocality, entan glement, and the classical limit. The Quantum Causal Entropy (QCE) model re formulates these problems by treating entropy flow and causal ordering as primary ontological structures. In QCE, quantum states are not ontic wavefunctions but in formational configurations constrained by causal entropy gradients. Measurement is not an observer-induced collapse but an entropy-optimizing causal reconfigura tion of quantum information. Entanglement arises as a causal-entropic alignment rather than a mysterious nonlocal influence. This paper situates the QCE model within the philosophy of physics and demonstrates how it offers a coherent resolu tion to the observer paradox, the measurement problem, and the quantum-classical relationship.
