The transition from quantum to classical behavior remains one of the fundamental questions in physics. Traditional models, such as environmental decoherence, describe how quantum effects diminish in open systems, but a precise energy-based mechanism governing this transition has yet to be fully established. This paper reformulates the suppression of quantum effects as a natural consequence of fundamental quantum mechanics principles, rather than introducing a novel suppression equation. Using de Broglie wavelength scaling, Wigner function analysis, and WKB approximation, we demonstrate that quantum corrections diminish as 1/E², aligning with classical limits.This principle is validated through numerical simulations and phase-space visualizations, showing energy-dependent suppression across multiple quantum systems. Additionally, we extend the analysis to relativistic quantum mechanics, discussing Lorentz invariance and implications for quantum field theory and high-energy physics. We propose testable predictions in quantum computing, optomechanics, and atomic physics, while also examining implications for quantum gravity and black hole thermodynamics.By synthesizing known quantum mechanical principles into a coherent framework, this work provides a rigorous, experimentally testable explanation of the quantum-classical transition. The proposed energy-based suppression model offers a path toward resolving open questions in decoherence, quantum information theory, and the emergence of classicality.
