Abstract

Nelson's stochastic mechanics links quantum mechanics to an underlying Brownian motion with the identification =mσ\hbar = m\sigma. Ghose's interpolating equation introduces a continuous parameter λ\lambda that suppresses the quantum potential Q[ψ]Q[\psi] and yields a smooth transition between quantum (λ=0\lambda=0) and classical (λ=1\lambda=1) regimes. In this short note, we show that the Koopman--von Neumann (KvN) Hilbert-space formulation of classical mechanics emerges naturally as the λ1\lambda \to 1 limit of this stochastic σ\sigma--λ\lambda hierarchy. The KvN phase-space amplitude provides an operator representation of the classical Liouville equation, while the λ\lambda parameter acts as a projection flow from the complex projective Hilbert manifold CPn\mathbb{C}P^n to its classical quotient CP/U(1)\mathbb{C}P^*/U(1), implementing phase superselection. This unified picture links quantum, stochastic, and classical dynamics within a single continuous framework.
