Wave function collapse doesn't need a conscious observer. It needs energy - real, thermodynamic, measurable energy, dissipated into a real environment.

Built to Break tells two stories at once.

The first is a physics postulate: an alternative to Copenhagen, GRW, CSL, and Diósi-Penrose, grounded in nothing more exotic than energy exchange between a quantum system and its environment, and a Heisenberg-type action threshold. No consciousness. No postulated universal noise field. Just dissipation, measured in joules, crossing a critical bound.

The second story is what actually happened while building it - including a single arithmetic error, missed for longer than it should have been, that threw a predicted collapse time off by twenty-six orders of magnitude before anyone caught it. Then a second, subtler error: a formula that produced stable, plausible-looking numbers while being dimensionally impossible underneath.

This book shows both, in full, without cleaning up the record afterward.
