The Universal Consistency Interpretation

Why Quantum Outcomes Aren’t Random—They’re Resolved

Most interpretations of quantum mechanics treat uncertainty as a fundamental feature of reality—an irreducible randomness at the heart of every measurement. But in this rigorous and conceptually elegant essay, Laura Tidwell offers an alternative: that quantum outcomes are not chosen at random, but resolved through structural constraints that maintain global consistency across the system.

The Universal Consistency Interpretation reframes quantum behavior as a lawful, deterministic process shaped by the requirement that all outcomes align with the broader structure of entangled systems. Probability, in this view, is not a primitive force—it’s a reflection of deeper rules governing how resolution must occur within a unified causal fabric.

Drawing on quantum theory, information logic, and philosophical determinism, Tidwell builds a framework where collapse is not spontaneous, but inevitable—an outcome that was always going to happen, because it was always the one that could.

This essay challenges the standard assumptions of indeterminacy and restores coherence to the most foundational level of physics.
