Borns Rule from Reversible Evolution and Irreversible Outcomes

The paper shows that the Born rule, which assigns probabilities to quantum measurement outcomes, is not an arbitrary postulate but arises naturally from compatibility requirements between two fundamental physical processes: reversible linear evolution and irreversible record formation. It demonstrates that for these two regimes to coexist consistently, the probability weight must follow a specific quadratic form.
