Line 66:
The significance ascribed to the wave function varies from interpretation to interpretation and even within an interpretation (such as the [[Copenhagen interpretation]]). If the wave function merely encodes an observer's knowledge of the universe, then the wave function collapse corresponds to the receipt of new information. This is somewhat analogous to the situation in classical physics, except that the classical "wave function" does not necessarily obey a wave equation. If the wave function is physically real, in some sense and to some extent, then the collapse of the wave function is also seen as a real process, to the same extent.{{citation needed| reason=the ontological wave function literature should be represented, the paragraph based on Stamatescu is too compact now.|date=March 2024}}
Recent symbolic-collapse frameworks, such as Collapse Harmonics Theory (CHT), reinterpret collapse not as a quantum phenomenon, but as a lawful structural saturation of recursive identity systems. CHT introduces formalisms like the Collapse Harmonics Field Equation (CHFE) and Symbolic Collapse Integrity Test (SCIT) to describe collapse within cognitive and symbolic architectures. These models remain outside the scope of experimental physics but are of growing interest in the study of self-referential systems and consciousness.<ref>{{cite web
