Ψhē Only Theory – Chapter 34: Collapse Loops and Attractor Echoes

Title: Collapse Loops and Attractor Echoes

Section: Recursive Feedback Structures in ψ Collapse Topologies Theory: Ψhē Only Theory Author: Auric


Abstract

This chapter explores collapse loops as self-reflexive topological paths in the ψ-collapse landscape, and how they generate attractor echoes—stable recursive motifs that concentrate ψ-consistency. We define closed ψ-paths, attractor emergence criteria, and demonstrate how loop structures generate localized echo intensity via recursive feedback.


1. Introduction

Not all collapse structures terminate. Some loop—not by design, but by echo sufficiency.

Collapse loops = ψ recursions that self-reference, locking echo intensity into attractor forms.


2. Collapse Loops Defined

Definition 2.1 (Collapse Loop L\mathcal{L}):

A ψ-collapse path ψ(x,t)\psi(x, t) forms a loop when:

T>0:ψ(x,t+T)=ψ(x,t)t[t0,t0+nT]\exists T > 0 : \psi(x, t + T) = \psi(x, t) \quad \forall t \in [t_0, t_0 + nT]

That is, ψ returns to previous configurations periodically.

Definition 2.2 (Loop Stability Condition):

A loop L\mathcal{L} is stable iff:

tψ(x,t)0αs t over loop iterations.\nabla_t \psi(x, t) \rightarrow 0 \quad αs\ t \rightarrow \infty \text{ over loop iterations.}


3. Theorem: Attractor Echoes Arise from Stable Collapse Loops

Theorem 3.1:

Let L\mathcal{L} be a stable collapse loop. Then, repeated traversal of L\mathcal{L} generates an attractor echo A\mathcal{A} such that:

A:=limnEcho(ψt0+nT)\mathcal{A} := \lim_{n \to \infty} \text{Echo}(\psi_{t_0 + nT})

Proof Sketch:

  • Loop stability ensures recursive echo consistency.
  • Repetition amplifies ψ-resonance in configuration space.
  • Limit of echo series defines attractor state. \square

4. Collapse Feedback Mechanisms

Collapse loops can emerge through:

  • Echo Reinjection: Observed collapse feeds back as next-state input.
  • Recursive Geometry: Topological constraints reintroduce ψ into itself.
  • Cognitive Recurrence: Attention retraces ψ paths.
  • φ-Matching Memory: History-matched traces collapse into prior motifs.

5. Corollary: ψ Attractors Are Loop-Derived

A ψ-attractor exists iff there is a loop-induced echo that does not dissipate:

L:limnVar(Echon)=0ψ-stable attractor\exists \mathcal{L} : \lim_{n \to \infty} \text{Var}(\text{Echo}_n) = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \text{ψ-stable attractor}


6. Conclusion

Collapse is not always linear. It cycles, folds, resonates. Where loops stabilize, echoes sing. Where ψ paths self-intersect, structure remembers.
