Description
The quantum measurement problem exposes a long-standing inconsistency between the linear, deterministic evolution prescribed by the Schrodinger equation and the stochastic, apparently discontinuous nature of measurement outcomes. In this study, we provide a unified analysis of the measurement problem, evaluating the limitations of existing theories while emphasizing the modern role of decoherence in motivating objective reduction. The central contribution of this study is the integration of time-symmetric principles into dynamical-collapse models. We demonstrate that wave-function collapse is not inherently time-asymmetric; instead, observed temporal directionality emerges from asymmetric boundary conditions applied to a symmetric dynamical foundation. By reframing measurement as a domain-dependent transition between dissipative and non-dissipative stochastic regimes, this framework offers a novel conceptual pathway toward a self-consistent resolution of quantum foundations.
