This article constitutes Part X of Wang’s Perceptual Field Theory (WPFT) and further develops its unified ontological framework. The paper reexamines two foundational topics in physics: free fall and quantum entanglement. Rather than disputing established experimental results, WPFT questions the interpretative assumptions underlying them. Free fall is interpreted not as the action of a gravitational force, but as a structured response process between an energy entity and the Earth understood as a large-scale energetic configuration. The apparent equivalence of acceleration in vacuum is treated as a resolution-dependent approximation, in which structural differences among entities are compressed below measurable thresholds. The equivalence principle is therefore regarded as empirically effective while remaining open to ontological reinterpretation. Quantum entanglement is reinterpreted as a correlation arising from shared generative conditions rather than from persistent nonlocal interaction. Once generation is complete, quanta are treated as independent entities whose correlations reflect structural isomorphism originating in common history. Correlation decay is described as the natural consequence of environmental divergence and structural differentiation. Throughout, the theory maintains a minimal causality principle: influence requires energy transmission, reception, and feedback. This work continues the integrated theoretical system of WPFT and should be read in conjunction with Part I for foundational definitions.

This article constitutes Part III of Wang’s Perceptual Field Theory (WPFT), a theoretical framework proposing a unified interpretation of physical phenomena through a discrete perceptual energy network. In this installment, photons are redefined not as wave–particle dual entities, but as perceptual units transitioning between energy-network nodes. Waves are reconceptualized as feedback patterns generated by network responses to local disturbances. The constancy of the speed of light is interpreted as a statistical ensemble property rather than an intrinsic limit of individual photon transitions. The work further reexamines the double-slit experiment, quantum tunneling, and superluminal phenomena within this discrete-network ontology, offering an alternative conceptual foundation for quantum and relativistic interpretations.
All known physical systems are described by quantum fields, whose observable properties arise from measurable correlations among their states. In this interpretation, what we call information is not an abstract entity but the physical pattern formed by these correlations. Energy, momentum, and spacetime curvature are already known to be expressible through expectation values of quantum operators, and recent results in quantum information theory show that variations in entanglement correspond directly to variations in energy. From this perspective, macroscopic structures—including matter and spacetime geometry—can be understood as stable, evolving patterns within quantum fields. Apparent non-local correlations, such as quantum entanglement, do not transmit signals faster than light but reflect pre-existing informational structure consistent with relativistic causality. Gravitational effects traditionally attributed to unseen components may, in principle, also be described as consequences of information distribution within known fields, without invoking new particles or interactions. This interpretation does not modify established physical laws or introduce new constants. It remains fully compatible with quantum field theory and general relativity, and is intended as a conceptual framework for organizing existing results rather than a new predictive theory. Its empirical relevance lies in re-expressing known phenomena in terms of information patterns that are, in principle, measurable through correlations and entanglement.
Quantum mechanics is among the most successful mathematical frameworks in modern science, providing precise predictions, experimental validation, and wide-ranging technological applications. This success, however, has been accompanied by a long-standing suspension of a fundamental question: the ontological status of quantum itself. While dominant approaches emphasize how quantum phenomena behave, the question of what these behaviors are the behavior of has largely been deferred. This work does not propose a new physical theory, nor does it challenge the empirical or mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. Instead, it offers an ontological positioning that reintroduces the question of ground. Quantum is approached neither as a discrete object nor as a purely mathematical formalism, but as the joint mode of operation of energy, nature, and consciousness. Within this framework, consciousness is not treated as an external causal agent acting upon physical systems, but as an immanent, organizing, and meaning-generating aspect of energetic continuity. Differentiation is thus located not in nature itself, but at the level of meaning. Observation and measurement are reinterpreted accordingly, not as mechanisms of physical collapse, but as processes through which ontological distinctions become articulated. By reframing quantum as a ground rather than a thing, this study aims to clarify persistent conceptual tensions—such as the observer problem and the status of measurement—without invoking speculative physics or metaphysical dualism. The paper presents not a solution, but a repositioning: an invitation to reconsider the ontological assumptions that guide contemporary readings of quantum mechanics.
Traditional quantum field theory, which regards fields as spacetime-pervading physical entities and particles as their excitations, faces three dilemmas: lower organizational efficiency than the "1/4πr² perceptual cross-section" collinear interaction, inability to explain force characteristics (e.g., vector superposition, action-at-a-distance) conflicting with quantum entanglement, and unclear field dynamic origin and coupling constant source. It also has redundant driving forces, using force, energy, momentum, etc., alternately, violating logical consistency and reflecting ununified underlying dynamic principles. Based on the information dynamics evolution theory framework, this paper holds that particles and their internal structures are the only physical entities, fields are evolution rule sets, and the universe is a relational state evolution system consisting of m₀, c, and R. Core conclusions: (1) Momentum units are the only underlying resources, c is the only dynamic driving force, with energy = momentum = force = m·c in eigenstate; (2)Particles form via multi-momentum unit cooperative encapsulation; (3) Fields are constraint rule sets, and the four fundamental forces are particle interaction protocols; (4) Quantum uncertainty is a macroscopic observation aliasing effect, with underlying strict causal determinism. This paper establishes core mechanisms such as momentum topological coding, reveals the underlying coding logic of basic physical quantities, and provides a complete framework for unifying quantum mechanics and relativity and reconstructing deterministic quantum theory.
We propose a unified physical framework in which four-dimensional spacetime vacuum is the unique physical reality, and all quanta are its localized topological excitations. Matter particles correspond to stable knot-like configurations, while radiation quanta correspond to weak propagating ripples of the same substrate. From this single ontological commitment, we derive: (1) wave–particle duality is resolved—particle behavior belongs to the localized excitation, wave behavior to the disturbance field it generates in spacetime; (2) double-slit interference arises from coherent superposition between a quantum's newly sourced disturbance and its own historical disturbance field, not from ontological self-superposition; (3) the wave function is a statistical tool encoding ensemble distributions of trajectories modulated by disturbance feedback, and collapse is epistemic convergence rather than a physical process; (4) quantum entanglement corresponds to Planck-scale topological connectivity (microscopic Einstein–Rosen bridges), preserving relativistic causality; (5) gravity is the macroscopic accumulation of universal but individually weak quantum–vacuum couplings, explaining both its microscopic weakness and macroscopic dominance without requiring a graviton; (6) the four fundamental interactions are differentiated coupling modes of quanta to one spacetime vacuum field; and (7) apparent dark matter and dark energy are reinterpreted as collective topological curvature and large-scale vacuum self-relaxation, respectively. We formulate falsifiable predictions at both laboratory and cosmological scales, including disturbance–corpuscle separation interferometry, tunable decoherence threshold measurements, and galaxy rotation–topology correlations. The framework compresses the conventional axiomatic structure of quantum mechanics and cosmology into one master axiom and eliminates at least twenty-eight independent interpretive assumptions.
This article is the second part of a three-paper sequence developing Ontological Field Theory (OFT) as a unified framework grounding quantum mechanics in foundational ontological principles. The trilogy is structured as follows: Part I — Conceptual Necessity:Why Quantum Mechanics Is Inevitable: Ontological Continuity and the Necessity of Quantum Dynamics establishes that quantum mechanics follows necessarily from minimal requirements on coherent being, independently of specific physical postulates. Part II — Technical Realization:Derivation of the Schrödinger Equation from Ontological Field Theory provides the explicit field-theoretic derivation showing how the Schrödinger equation emerges as the non-relativistic limit of a covariant ontological field. Part III — Critical Context:Why Classical Physics Is an Approximation: Decoherence, Coarse-Graining, and the Limits of Determinism explains why classical determinism and trajectories arise only as emergent, approximate descriptions of fundamentally quantum and relational dynamics. Each article is logically self-contained, but the full argument is distributed across the three contributions. The conceptual analysis motivates the mathematics; the mathematics grounds the physics; and the critical examination situates classical intuition as a limiting case rather than a foundation. The papers are intended to be read as a coherent whole. We argue that quantum mechanics is not an arbitrary empirical framework but an inevitable consequence of minimal ontological requirements. Assuming only that being must exist necessarily, remain consistent, be relational, and admit self-reference, we show that classical deterministic physics is structurally insufficient. Quantum dynamics emerges as the unique low-energy realization of coherent ontological continuity. This work complements explicit field-theoretic derivations by clarifying why quantum mechanics could not have been otherwise.
