ABSTRACT: In this paper, the authors propose a phenomenological framework for addressing the black hole information loss paradox using the Gravity Branch Model (GBM) of quantum measurements. In this approach, quantum measurement branching is dynamically constrained by local spacetime curvature, producing effective selection of semiclassically consistent trajectories. We develop Schrödinger-like and master equation formulations for the GBM, apply it to a detector of Hawking radiation, and examine how gravitationally suppressed branch proliferation modifies the apparent information content. Our analysis suggests that information loss in black holes can be reinterpreted as curvature-induced pruning of quantum measurement branches, rather than fundamental nonunitarity, with experimentally constrained coupling strengths ensuring consistency with laboratory observations.
