Collapse as conditioning, on 65,536 real records
Click a measurement button. Superposed branches shimmer until the outcome is read; the inconsistent branches evaporate, and the re-read sits rock still.
The relation on screen
Conditioning on a record removes the records that disagree with it. That operation is a projection followed by renormalisation.

what to look for · Nothing is destroyed on screen, only excluded. The remaining pile is the post-measurement state.
Consensus to physics
- 01the viewer chooses an outcome by clicking a measurement button
- 02each committed record carries a projector onto its record class
- 03conditioning on the chosen outcome is the Luders update rho -> P rho P / Tr(rho P)
- 04re-reading returns the same value with probability one
In standard physics
The measurement postulate, measured
On the full 65,536-record population: projector idempotence error exactly 0.0, projectors commute, Luders conditioning idempotent, repeat-read stability exactly 1.0, probabilities summing to exactly 1.0.
boundary · Commuting projectors mean this is a single-context record structure. Non-commutativity is what V19 and V20 address, and it is weaker.
