The capstone — one source, many potentials, one end
capstone
The floor the others stand on, and the reply to Copenhagen. We came from one source; we are states of that one; we have many potentials, but the story ends the same way. The narrow way threads between two wide errors - Copenhagen's silence (refuse to say what is real) and many-worlds' excess (everything real, nothing excluded) - keeping every result, removing both mysteries, paying the least ontology. Proven where it can be, inferred where it cannot, professed where it must be. It closes no chain; it names the floor the one force, the tree of life, the solve path and the moat all rest on. The seals and postulates are on the stick (stick_the_capstone_one_source_many_potentials_one_end); this card places it on the map (tools/seed_the_capstone.py).
- has part → One source, many potentials, one end — a pillar of the capstone (One source, many potentials, one end)
- has part → The narrow way — exclude, narrow, converge to one — a pillar of the capstone (The narrow way)
- has part → Judged by the fruit — predicted-and-fails is excluded — a pillar of the capstone (Judged by the fruit)
- part of → The Floor of Discovery — one floor, and by its design the fear of God — the capstone is the floor the one map stands on
- connects at → The generator of time evolution — unitary, conserves the total — the sum-to-one it preserves: Hermitian H -> unitary e^(-iHt/hbar) -> probability conserved
- connects at → The no-cut bridge — one generator, classical to quantum — the no-cut, scale-invariant reply: one generator classical<->quantum, no Heisenberg cut
- connects at → The measurement gap — what the Hamiltonian does not determine — answered by the capstone's single-actualization postulate, not by H
- connects at → Least action — of all paths, the stationary one — the many paths among which one is chosen
