 116/-- **THEOREM**: Macroscopic objects decohere instantly. -/
 117theorem macro_decohere_instant :
 118    -- For N_env ~ 10²³, τ_D ~ 10⁻²⁰ s or less
 119    -- This is why we never see Schrödinger's cat

 122/-- The transition from quantum to classical is not sharp.
 123    There's a continuous crossover depending on:
 124    1. System size
 125    2. Environment temperature

 139/-- In RS, classical emergence is about **ledger coarse-graining**:
 140
 141    1. Microscopic: Full quantum ledger, all superpositions tracked
 142    2. Mesoscopic: Partial coarse-graining, some quantum effects
 143    3. Macroscopic: Fully coarse-grained, only classical states
 144
 145    Classical physics = the low-resolution limit of the ledger. -/
