> Relativity is a real formula

Relativity is a real formula and the classical limit is a real phenomenon, but there's no formula for when a relativistic situation "becomes classical".

> you just say that decoherence seems to correlate with entropy and then gave a formula for entropy

If the observed system and the observer/external universe are fully entangled (i.e. their entropy of entanglement is maximal) then decoherence has occurred and all observations of the observed system by that observer will be indistinguishable from if the system were not in superposition. That is a mathematical fact that falls right out of the equations. So I don't know what else you're asking for.
