# Bit-Collapse Theory (BCT) - Phase 2

BCT is an interpretational / ontological framework in which experienced state is an agent-relative equivalence class of global states (i.e. underlying micro-realizations of the total system) constrained by physical access and stable records. Collapse is the discrete update of that class when stable record structure changes.
