Interaction with the Environment via Random Matrices and the Emergence of Classical Field Theory

Alexey A. Kryukov

Classical field configurations arise as coordinates on manifolds of quantum states localized by random-matrix environmental interactions, reproducing equations like the sourced Klein-Gordon from unitary Schrödinger evolution.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The unitary Schrödinger dynamics, combined with the random-matrix model of system-environment interaction, yields effective diffusion in state space together with repeated localization due to environmental recording. As a result, although field states are not themselves confined near classical configurations, the interaction constrains the particle to probe only a restricted sector of the field, corresponding to a tubular neighborhood of localized field states. The resulting dynamics reproduces classical field equations, including the sourced Klein-Gordon equation and the corresponding force law.

C2weakest assumption

The interaction Hamiltonian effectively exhibits a random-matrix structure that produces the required stochastic yet unitary evolution and localization near the constructed manifolds of states localized near classical field configurations in the joint particle-field state space.

C3one line summary

Classical field configurations arise as coordinates on manifolds of quantum states localized by random-matrix environmental interactions, reproducing equations like the sourced Klein-Gordon from unitary Schrödinger evolution.
