Abstract

This paper clarifies the structural role of the Schrödinger equation within the Paton System. Rather than introducing new physical laws or modifying quantum mechanics, the equation is interpreted as governing admissible evolution of system states prior to observational selection. The wavefunction is treated as a representation of recursively evolving admissible structure within Tier-5 (continuation), while observation occurs at Tier-4 as a constrained projection of that structure. This distinction resolves common interpretational ambiguity by separating continuous evolution from discrete observation without altering established quantum formalism.
