This is a really deep opening post and I appreciate that you've asked for technical rebuttals rather than hand-waving — let me take three points from your prompt in order.

On decoherence: Zurek and others have done significant work on the pointer basis problem, but I agree with your framing that we haven't located a sharp boundary. The standard narrative is that environmental interaction 'suppresses off-diagonal elements of the density matrix,' which looks like a reduction to classicality. But this isn't ontologically decisive — it tells us why certain superpositions are fragile, not what fundamentally underpins the transition. We could view decoherence as an asymptotic process rather than a discrete event, which would support your unification hypothesis

Your opening is a fair articulation, but I think you're framing the problem as more binary than it needs to be and missing the clearest resolution that modern decoherence theory already provides for your boundary question.

The decoherence problem is exactly where the bifurcation becomes most apparent — we're basically using a
