Wave–particle duality: A conceptual solution from the cordus conjecture

Abstract

There are several integration problems of fundamental physics that still lack coherent solutions-the case in point being wave-particle duality. Although empiricism and mathematical modeling have served physics well, they have not yet been able to achieve integrated causal models. Conventional theories and approaches have only provided partial solutions, and it is possible that a more radical reconceptualization of fundamental physics is required. This work comes at the issue from a totally different approach: it applies design thinking to the problem. The result is the ''cordus conjecture,'' which proposes that the photon, and indeed every matter ''particle,'' has an internal structure comprising a ''cordus'': two reactive ends (REs) that each behave like a particle, with a fibril joining them. The REs are proposed to be a small, finite distance apart and are energized, typically in turn, at a frequency. When energized, they emit a transient force pulse along a line called a hyperfine fibril (hyff), and that makes up the field. This concept is used to explain the path dilemmas of the single photon in the double-slit device and the wave behaviour of light, including the formation of fringes by single photons and beams of light. In addition, it provides a tangible explanation for frequency. It also yields new quantitative derivations for several basic optical effects: critical angle, Snell's law, and Brewster's angle. Thus, the cordus structure offers an alternative conceptual explanation for wave-particle duality.

Le probl`eme en question ici est celui de la dualit´e onde-particule. Tandis que l'empirisme et la mod´elisation math´ematique ont bien servit la physique, ils n'ont pas,`a ce jour, permis l'´elaboration de mod`eles causaux int´egr´es. Les th´eories et approches conventionnelles n'ont fournit que des solutions partielles, et il est possible qu'une reconceptualisation plus radicale de la physique fondamentale soit n´ecessaire. Ce travail traite ce probl`eme avec une toute autre approche en appliquant des processus de pens´ee relatifs au g´enie de conception. Le r´esultat est la 'conjecture de cordus' qui propose que le photon et en fait toute particule mat´erielle a une structure interne comprenant un 'cordus': deux extr´emit´es r´eactives se comportant comme des particules connect´ees par une 'fibrille'. Il est propos´e que ces deux extr´emit´es r´eactives, s´epar´ees par une petite distance finie, sont energis´ees [typiquement tour`a tour]`a une certaine fr´equence. Lorsqu'elles sont´energis´ees, elles´emettent une force impulsive transitoire le long d'une ligne appel´ee fibrille hyperfine cr´eant ainsi un champ de force.

Annihilation Mechanisms

“…It uses a design from the non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) sector, specifically the Cordus theory. This theory has previously been used to reconceptualise wave-particle duality, explain entanglement [1], identify the mechanics of the strong force [2], and address several cosmological phenomena [3] [4]. The present paper complements these concepts by developing an explanation for how the structures of the particles interact and bring about the annihilation process under a NLHV scenario.…”

“…The requirements for the proton structures arose elsewhere, from considerations of wave-particle duality and entanglement [1], rather than for annihilation reasons. The electron and antielectron designs arose from consideration of the HED mechanics and handedness of matterantimatter [25].…”

“…Secondly, the input particles object types are inputs, controls, outputs, and mechanisms (ICOM) and are distinguished by placement relative to the box, with inputs always entering on the left, controls above, outputs on the right, and mechanisms below.) Approach: The first activity in the systems design process was to design a NLHV solution for wave-particle duality [1]. This was called the Cordus conjecture.…”

A hidden-variable approach offers mechanics that are unavailable within the zero-dimensional point framework of quantum mechanics, and the non-local design circumvents the Belltype inequalities (Bell, 1964;Leggett, 2003), making this a usefully innovative and plausible approach.…”
