Local Freedom under Global Constraint
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Local Freedom under Global Constraint (LFGC) is an interpretive framework for quantum mechanics grounded in the Two-State Vector Formalism (TSVF) and relativistic quantum field theory (QFT). In this model, physical reality within a spacetime region bounded by spacelike hypersurfaces is described by quantum states defined on those boundary surfaces. All events must satisfy global boundary constraints, yet intermediate quantum events remain locally underdetermined. LFGC reinterprets quantum indeterminacy as intrinsic local selection rather than ontologically primitive randomness. The framework introduces no deviation from standard quantum dynamics; it is merely an interpretation.
