The Emergence of the Born Rule from Resonant Equilibrium

Collapse as Open-System Phase-Locking v3.3: A Conditional Basin Mechanism

FRC 100.003 v3.3 presents finite-time phase-locking into coherence basins as a candidate collapse mechanism, not an established ontology. The pilot checks a Langevin microstate-distribution flow conditional on a stipulated Born-weighted landscape; it does not derive the Born weights. The microstate route remains admissible only if operationally equivalent preparations give identical observable predictions and a bipartite extension passes no-signaling. SME, system-plus-bath, and other norm-controlled realizations remain open alternatives. The paper distinguishes Lambda_obs, observation-derived Lambda_eq, and optional latent Lambda_dyn; a fundamental field is a separate conjecture. The canonical reciprocity law is dS + k* d ln C = 0; this paper uses a predeclared indexed realization only for its local ledger. Boundary-relative lambda=-d_eS is neither imposed universally nor rejected by fiat. The three gates remain open: admissible dynamics, Born-weight origin, and explicit environment accounting.
