Decoherence and quantum Darwinism show how classical outcomes arise through repeated interaction, redundancy, and the selective stabilisation of what can be copied and made objective. The IIP-VGF framework (Infinite Iteration Principle and Vast Generative Field) extends this idea further, treating physical laws and geometry as fixed points of an iterative closure process. From a pre-geometric regime, locality and spacetime emerge, followed by particles as repeatable excitation-closures and three-dimensionality as a natural attractor of stabilisation.

Probability can then be read as a measure of what persists under this cascade, linking the Born rule to the same logic of survival. In this view, spacetime, spatial dimensionality, and measurement outcomes are not separate mysteries, but different expressions of one generative mechanism: iterative stabilisation under loss of fidelity.
