Euler’s Mechanics as a Foundation of Quantum Mechanics

We present the complete, ontically grounded wave mechanics derived from the de Broglie equation λp = h, interpreted literally as a real, physical wave. By treating ψ = 1/λ as a spatial compaction field and anchoring it on the Euler ComplexPlane (ECP)—a two-faced, rotating, compact topological surface—we derive the nonlinear wave equation, the soliton identity 1 = 1, the logarithmic spiral geodesic, the dual velocities and frequencies, the eigen-energy spectrum, and the photon asthe uncompacted reference state. We show that the Maxwell and d’Alembert equations are linear, uncompacted limits of the Prince nonlinear wave equation. The framework resolves the wave-particle duality, quantizes time and energy, and vindicatesde Broglie’s law of phase harmony as the foundational principle of quantum mechanics.

This chapter prepares a smooth way from Eulerian classical mechanics to quantum mechanics. Starting from Helmholtz’s foundation of the energy conservation law using Leibniz’s theorem as described in the foregoing Chapter 2, the configurations a system can (cannot) assume in a given stationary state are explored. The following constraints are taken into account: Newton-Euler’s exclusion principle, d’Alembertian constraints and constraints imposed by conservation laws. The set of possible and impossible momentum configurations is also considered, using Nemorarius’ theorem of the foregoing chapter.

In the spirit of making this book reasonably self-contained, certain topics that may be required in understanding the foundation and the applications of quantum mechanics are discussed. Foremost are the definition and properties of the complex numbers, such as De Moivre’s theorem and Euler’s identity. Trigonometry and vector analysis are the necessary topics for almost any discussion of physical phenomena. In this chapter these topics are discussed to the extent that makes their use in subsequent chapters quite natural and normal. Another topic that reverberates throughout this book due to the nature of quantum mechanics is probability theory. Here the main ideas of probability theory are presented that should be sufficient for an understanding of the topics discussed in this book.
