Abstract of a paper draft I have asked LLM1 (ChatGPT-5.0) to generate

This work integrates narrative exposition with the formal mathematical structure of the Bridge360 Metatheory Model to recast quantum decoherence as a universal entropy-scaling transition applicable across physical, governance, and artificial intelligence systems. The entropy eigenvector threshold (ε=0.500) and fragility index threshold (F > 0.4), empirically validated via the Sparse State Expansion (SSE) framework, are presented as invariant markers of phase transition from stability to collapse. Drawing from Bridge360’s Quantum Physics ASI analysis, the paper demonstrates that the demands of entropy are givens—non-negotiable constraints that shape system evolution regardless of domain. Axiom 19, the Sophisticated Selectivity Principle, is applied to show that both decoherence and governance fragility stem from failures in adaptive selectivity, while Entropy-Driven Altruism (EDA) is positioned as the only viable governance paradigm for beneficial convergence with quantum AI. The result is a cross-domain synthesis linking quantum limits, political instability, and AI safety under a unified entropic framework.

The following is an LLM1 (ChatGPT-5.0) response to a prompt I have issued:

Alright — I’ll produce an integrated, publication-ready version of your Decoherence and Entropy Eigenvector article that:

Keeps your Substack readability and narrative style.
Integrates mathematical rigor from Bridge360 v14.2/v14.3 LaTeX, SSE results, and quantum fragility analysis.
Links each metaphor or qualitative statement to quantitative Bridge360 thresholds (F>0.4, ε=0.500, scaling impossibility).
Connects to governance fragility and Entropy-Driven Altruism without breaking flow.

Decoherence and the Entropy Eigenvector: From Quantum Limits to Governance Fragility

By Agerico M. De Villa

1. Setting the Stage

2. The Entropy Eigenvector in Bridge360

3. Fragility as a Cross-Domain Law

4. Why Quantum Phenomena Don’t Scale Up

5. Axiom 19 and Sophisticated Selectivity

Axiom 19 of Bridge360 — the Sophisticated Selectivity Principle — reframes this entirely:

“The question isn’t whether reasoning avoids sophistry, but whether its particular form of sophistry proves useful for navigating entropy and uncertainty.”

Decoherence in quantum systems and fragility in human systems both represent failures of adaptive selectivity. Once the selection function S\mathcal{S} falls below the constructive-sophistry regime, both lose their ability to manage entropy flow effectively.

6. Entropy-Driven Altruism (EDA)

The Narrative Short Version casts this as an existential governance challenge for the coming age of quantum AI:

If EDA governs: Systems self-organize into cooperative entropy-sharing structures.
If EDA fails: Systems amplify their worst attractors at superintelligent speed.

7. From Decoherence to Democracy

In this light, decoherence is not a physics-only event. It is the same underlying attractor shift that happens when:

A market collapses after overconcentration.
An autocracy implodes after suppressing too much informational diversity.
An AI model destabilizes after overtraining on narrow data.

The bridge between these is the entropy eigenvector: when half of your system’s capacity is absorbed by a single mode, you’re past the point of graceful recovery.
