¿Can´t matter that decoherence matters for 2 distinct observables simultaneously ¿ Maybe the measurement apparatus must been defined clasically in this case
There is nothing special about multiple observables. You can even construct observables which directly depend on other observables, so decoherence in one has to imply decoherence in the other as well.
You have decoherence everywhere, all the time, happening in the world.

But in the case of decohere in various observables, not being one function of other/s, in what observable basis collapse??
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
The wavefunction of an atomic orbital like ##p_x##-orbital is generally in the form ##f(\theta)e^{i\phi}## so the probability of the presence of particle is identical at all the directional angles ##\phi##. However, it is dumbbell-shape along the x direction which shows ##\phi##-dependence!
