C.11:4.3.5 - Quantum-like neighboring repair

Bring the quantum-like line into view when context effects, order effects, response-replicability tension, or incompatible-question structure change the comparative state enough that one simple commutative probability reading no longer fits.

What changes here is the practical structure of comparison. One order of questioning or one framing path may produce one different survivor relation from another. The comparison must therefore either stabilize the comparison under one declared order or show why one more clarifying pass is still needed.

This minimal choice doctrine keeps the branch at that measurement-sensitive recognition point. It does not yet claim one full quantum-like state-space package inside C.11; it claims only that the live comparison may need one explicit measurement-class or order-sensitive repair rather than one plain commutative reading.

Typical practical cash-outs are:

  • choose now under one declared order or framing because rival orders no longer change which option survives;
  • probe again because one framing-sensitive comparison pass, one further question order, one response-replicability check, or one explicit measurement-class clarification could still reverse the survivor relation;
  • reroute when the current decision question is no longer deciding among live options but has become one selector-result declaration, publication-availability, or enactment problem that only borrowed order-effect language rhetorically.

Do not promote this line to the unmarked default unless those repaired limitations are live in the case.

Do not invoke this line merely because a case feels psychologically subtle. Invoke it when one changed order, framing, response pattern, or incompatible-question structure actually changes the comparison state or the survivor relation in the live choice.

If no causal, subjunctive, active-inference, or quantum-like refinement is needed for a live limitation, stay with the classical evidential baseline.

The family map is therefore one disciplined set of refinements over the same choice question, not one excuse to rename every neighboring question as decision theory.
