Abstract: FINDING: Search returned only popular-science media (YouTube explainers, Wikipedia) on decoherence — no primary literature, no measured decoherence-time records, no experimental constants. | MATH: Decoherence is governed by the Lindblad master equation dρ/dt = −(i/ℏ)[H,ρ] + Σ_k (L_k ρ L_k† − ½{L_k†L_k, ρ}); off-diagonal decay ρ_ij(t) = ρ_ij(0)·exp(−t/τ_D). The record quantity τ_D is system- and environment-specific (no universal constant). | CONNECTION: None supported by this evidence. No 0.382/0.618/0.786/1.618/2.618, no base-60, no crystallographic or lattice symmetry appears in any retrieved source. | DEPTH: 1/10 Notes (precision constraints): - The retrieved items are secondary/tertiary sources. None report a numerical decoherence-time record, so no equation, constant, or ratio can be extracted without fabrication. - The only structural claim present is qualitative: decoherence suppresses interference via exponential decay of off-diagonal density-matrix elements (the Lindblad form Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
