This paper proposes a speculative framework for a quantum collapse threshold based onirreversible action. Once the cumulative environmental action crosses a universal threshold:S = (e x h), quantum superpositions irreversibly transition into classical outcomes. This collapse threshold is motivated by thermodynamic principles: Euler’s number e describes the natural scale of irreversible entropy growth, and Planck’s constant h sets the fundamental quantum of action. This theory aims to prompt further discussion on the informational and thermodynamic underpinnings of quantum measurement. I derive a novel parameter-free and falsifiable law for quantum state reduction, which both predicts the Page curve and preserves the Born rule. This model provides a unified, testable framework connecting quantum measurement, thermodynamics, and information theory.
