Quantum-to-classical limit lacks the spatial coupling needed for diffusion

Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent RealityCh. 29 (Quantum Completion), G01

Original criticism

The proposed quantum Hamiltonian Ĥ_I is asserted to reduce to the classical reaction–diffusion equation in the appropriate limit, but the Hamiltonian as given has no spatial coupling term — the physical mechanism that would actually produce diffusive behavior in the classical limit is simply absent from the equation.

Response & evidence

Not corrected in v2 (Category B, a genuine physics gap rather than a checkable objective error) — logged as an open item; the classical field equation itself (Ch. 7) is unaffected and remains independently verified.
