A Parsimonious Reframing of Wave Function Dynamics as Static Structure Traversal
This paper proposes the Temporal Bitmap Interpretation (TBI) of quantum mechanics, which reframes apparent wave function dynamics as static structure traversal through a four-dimensional block universe. On this view, what we perceive as quantum indeterminacy, wave function collapse, and entanglement correlations are artifacts of our epistemic position as observers traversing a determinate 4D structure. The interpretation treats wave functions not as evolving probability amplitudes but as aliased readings of a two-valued phase field—a minimal degree of freedom sampled at insufficient temporal resolution.
