- reliability notes
- The physics half of the theory, independently motivated: this paper argues for gravity-induced state reduction as a problem in quantum foundations, with no reference to biology.
- Supplies a characteristic timescale criterion (τ ≈ ℏ/E_G), not a fully specified stochastic dynamical theory. That underspecification is exactly what makes the Gran Sasso bound hard to apply cleanly (see SRC-MCQUEEN-2023).
