Core Mechanism
Wave function collapse as unexamined postulate — measurement treated as primitive
Kernel Engagements
Works within the kernel’s native ground; the structural gap is present but never encountered.
Evidence
Copenhagen brackets the measurement problem by methodological convention — treating wave function collapse as an unproblematic postulate rather than deriving it from the Schrödinger equation.
Territory
Treats measurement as primitive; wave function collapse bracketed as definitional. Comma never encountered structurally. "Shut up and calculate" is the most complete Infrastructure statement in the physics corpus.
Constitutive depth
IS: The wave function is the invisible substrate of all quantum calculation. Copenhagen does not encounter the comma — it brackets it by convention.
Legibility
Concealed: The measurement problem is structurally present but hidden behind the collapse postulate. Practitioners do not see the comma in their daily practice.
