Abstract
This work proposes a reinterpretation of wave function collapse as the result of a geometric intersection between our space-time universe and a higher-dimensional reality, here referred to as the bulk. In this framework, time in the bulk does not unfold as a sequence of moments but exists instead as a static and extended dimension, one in which all possible states of subatomic particles are present simultaneously.
In our universe time is experienced in a strictly one-dimensional, point-like manner and we access only a single instant at once, giving rise to the perception of a flowing sequence. From this perspective what we perceive as the collapse of the wave function may arise from the interaction between our unidimensional timeline and this timeless multidimensional reality. Rather than a process of selection among alternatives, the collapse would be the result of our space-time intersecting a pre-existing landscape of possibilities, effectively slicing through the bulk and revealing a single outcome from an already complete set of quantum configurations.
Within the same framework, quantum entanglement emerges as a cointersection in the bulk. Even when particles appear distant within our universe, they remain correlated because their states are rooted in the same geometric anchor point of the higher-dimensional domain.
