Complex amplitudes (modulus vs phase)
- Modulus $|ψ|²$: objective outcome statistics (Born rule).
- Phase arg $ψ$: context‑sensitive relations among alternatives; becomes observable via interferometry and basis choice.
Agent choices (basis, interferometry)
- Choice of measurement basis/configuration exposes different relations as Text.
- Adaptive, model‑driven basis selection can be framed as closing the loop.
Measurement as closing the loop
- Operationally: agent picks a basis, registers an outcome, and optionally uses it for feedback (quantum trajectories with control).
Resource viewpoints (coherence, information)
- Convert coherence (off‑diagonals) into work/information under control constraints.
- Track efficiency and robustness under noise.
