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

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.
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.
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.
