The Entropic Quantum Switch (EQS): Subsection 10.1.7— Indefinite Causal Order and the Quantum Switch in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

Structure & Content






SectionCoverage
I. The Quantum Switch as SupermapFormal definition (Def. 10.7.1) of W(U₁, U₂) with the control-qubit superposition and output state
II. Indefinite Causal Order: What Is ViolatedProposition 10.7.1 — what the switch breaks (definite causal order) and what it preserves (unitarity, Born rule, Hilbert-space structure)
III. Coherent-Sector AnalysisToE evolution operator U_ToE e^{−iHt} · e^{−Ct}; Def. 10.7.2 (Coherent-Sector Regime); Proposition 10.7.2 proving full compatibility when 0
IV. Entropic-Sector ProhibitionDensity-matrix evolution with e^{−Ct} damping of causal coherence; Proposition 10.7.3 showing indefinite causal order is destroyed for 0
V. Entropic Time Limit Causal DecoherenceDef. 10.7.3 (τ_caus 1/C); Corollary 10.7.1 classifying the three regimes (coherent, transitional, entropic)
VI. The Arrow of CausationProposition 10.7.4 — definite causal order is emergent from ∇S(x), not axiomatic
VII. Experimental PredictionsThree testable predictions: visibility decay V(t) V₀·e^{−Ct}, controlled-decoherence test, temperature scaling of τ_caus
VIII. Process Matrix FormalismProposition 10.7.5 linking entropic coupling to physically realizable process matrices
IX. Summary — Causal Order Emergence TheoremTheorem 10.7.1 unifying all results: → indefinite; → transient; Ct → ∞ → classical causality emerges
