Modern quantum physics rests upon three historically significant discoveries: Planck'sblackbody radiation law, Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect, and thehydrogen spectral series. Together, these discoveries established the idea that energyexists in discrete packets or quanta, ultimately giving rise to the modern concept of thephoton.The Space-Phase (SP3) interpretation proposes that the experimental observationsthemselves are correct while their physical interpretation may not be. This paper arguesthat the experimental results are more naturally understood as manifestations of thresholdbehavior, resonance behavior, and transport behavior within an organizing andconditionable space-phase medium. Under this interpretation, quantization belongs to thepermitted responses of space-phase and matter rather than to packetized energypropagating through empty space.Light is proposed to propagate as a continuous oscillatory disturbance within spacephase. Thresholds enforced by space-phase and matter determine what interactions arepermitted. Quantized outcomes are therefore produced without requiring quantized light.

Quantum entanglement has been misinterpreted for a century. The Standard Model describes it as non-local, non-separable, and fundamentally probabilistic. This interpretation was not derived from physics. It was derived from pure mathematics — from the algebra of Hilbert spaces, the linearity of operators, and the symmetry of equations. This deposit contains two complementary theses that together form a complete correction of this error. Volume 148 — The Quantum Misstep:This thesis argues that the mathematical interpretation of entanglement is wrong at its foundation. The symmetry of an equation is not a property of nature. The linearity of an operator is not a property of the real. The non-locality of a correlation is not a mechanism. From this initial error, everything else follows: the qubit was built on a mathematical abstraction, not a physical structure; the quantum computer was built on the qubit; the entire field of quantum computing is built on a misinterpretation. Volume 149 — Phase Locking:This thesis presents what replaces the misinterpretation. Entanglement is not a non-local mystery. It is a phase locking through a continuous physical medium. This mechanism has two outcomes: when the phase locks, the effective coupling is established and information flows; when the phase does not lock, the coupling fails and erroneous information is rejected at the source. The true quantum computer is not a collection of fragile qubits. It is a system of phase modes in a physical medium, operating at ambient temperature, without error correction, and scalable naturally. Together, these two volumes provide:- A refutation of the mathematical misinterpretation of entanglement.- A mechanical theory of quantum coupling in a physical medium.- A new foundation for quantum computing based on phase modes, not qubits.- A bilingual edition (English / French) for international accessibility. Key ideas:1. Entanglement is not a non-local mystery. It is a local phase coupling.2. The qubit is a mathematical abstraction, not a physical object.3. The quantum computer is not a collection of qubits. It is a system of phase modes in a physical medium.4. The quantum computer is not a qubit. It is an ocean.
