Clapping Decoherence: An Auditory Model of Emergent Randomness and Its Quantum Analogues

<p dir="ltr"><i>This paper explores the statistical analogy between the decay of collective applause in human audiences and quantum decoherence processes in physical systems. By modeling audience behavior as a stochastic field undergoing noise-driven phase decay, we demonstrate how classical systems can exhibit fluctuation patterns remarkably similar to quantum vacuum fluctuations. The work bridges social physics and quantum foundations, offering a macroscopic, accessible model for understanding emergent randomness and environmental decoherence</i></p>
