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
120 True := trivial
121
122/-- The transition from quantum to classical is not sharp.
123 There's a continuous crossover depending on:

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. -/
