Model Dynamics

Temporal evolution equations governing frame selection, load dynamics, and the collapse mechanism.

Load Dynamics

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for cognitive load

dL(t) = −θ(L − L₀)dt + σdW(t)
θ: mean reversion rate
L₀: baseline load
σ: noise amplitude
W(t): Wiener process

Frame Evolution

von Neumann equation for frame states

iℏ ∂|ψ⟩/∂t = [Ĥ₀ + κV]|ψ⟩
Ĥ₀: free Hamiltonian
V: interaction potential
κ: coupling constant

Collapse Mechanism

Cognitive frame reduction

|ψ⟩ → Π_κ|ψ⟩ / ‖Π_κ|ψ⟩‖
Triggered when load L exceeds threshold L_crit.
Π_κ: projection onto selected frame.

Coupling Constant κ

FS-AC interaction strength

κ ∈ [0, 1]
κ = 0: no awareness (pure FS dynamics)
κ = 1: full AC dominance
Optimal range: 0.3 – 0.7
