I've heard some arguments that duality (the collapse of the wave function itself) is caused by quantum decoherence.

Do any of you agree with that? And if you do, can you explain how decoherence collapses the wave?

If duality means wave-particle duality, it is not wave function collapse.

Do you really need to make this about a mathematical property, when you know exactly what I mean?

On the contrary, I don’t know what you mean. Did you mean wave-particle duality?

Yes.

So it has nothing to do with wave function collapse. An electron, as a wave, does not have to be in a superposition of eigenstates. There is no collapse.

I never got an answer. Maybe because I asked the question wrong. So here we go again:

Could quantum decoherence be the cause of duality?

The reason I ask is not because it's an idea that I have, but because I've seen others postulate it elsewhere. I just want it confirmed or denied.
