Random-matrix reduction in projective quantum mechanics: Numerical simulations

We present numerical simulations supporting the random-matrix state-reduction framework developed in the companion theoretical paper. The simulations test the main derived features of the model: isotropic diffusion generated by Gaussian Unitary Ensemble Hamiltonians in projective state space, the restriction of this diffusion to Brownian motion on the classical submanifold, Born-rule frequencies for detector-defined outcome classes, and stroboscopic Newtonian motion for macroscopic systems under repeated environmental monitoring. We also compare GUE and GOE random Hamiltonians and show that GOE fails to produce the required isotropic complex projective diffusion. Further simulations examine finite-resolution detector records in the double-slit experiment, Zeno stability of recorded equivalence classes, effective irreversibility from high-dimensional state-space dynamics and loss of path information, and tensor-product particle-device dynamics in the device limit. The results show that microscopic state reduction, stable measurement records, effective irreversibility, and macroscopic classicality can be described as different coarse-grained manifestations of the same stochastic unitary mechanism.
