The classical or macroscopic world is in part at least related to how quantum states are entangled at different times with other states in the environment. This though is not a level of description that can tell you much about these specific interactions. The quantum world is in effect in a sort of random Zeno machine that continually reduces wave functions, and in effect it can be argued it does this to itself. Quantum phases are being continually mixed and re-entangled so as to generate a sort of quantum phase chaos.
