This paper explores the possibility that the double-slit experiment reflects boundary-conditioned quantum propagation within a globally defined coherence environment. Rather than replacing conventional quantum mechanics, the RCMA framework is presented as an interpretive hypothesis investigating whether geometry, symmetry, and resonant boundary structure help define the probability landscape observed in quantum interference phenomena before any particles are fired at the double slit structure.

This is the third paper in the IFUF (Information-First Unified Framework) series, presenting a structural reinterpretation of the double-slit experiment. Unlike standard quantum mechanics, which relies on the arbitrary wave function collapse hypothesis, IFUF explains coherence loss through two unified mechanisms: Instantaneous Coherence Collapse and Temporal Coherence Decay (₸ Law). This paper introduces the concept of Coherence Length (Lc) as a quantifiable measure of quantum stability, directly linked to a particle’s intrinsic ₸ value. It reinterprets experimental data from large molecule interference (e.g., C60, C70) as structural validation of the IFUF model, showing that each collision constitutes a localized EMagnitude interaction—effectively a measurement event. By replacing environmental decoherence with internal structural necessity, IFUF offers a unified, predictive framework for quantum behavior and defines the ultimate physical boundaries for future quantum technologies.
The double-slit interference experiment serves as a fundamental experiment in quantum mechanics. Core theories including wave-particle duality, quantum superposition and measurement collapse are established on the basis of this phenomenon. The mainstream Copenhagen interpretation and Bohmian pilot-wave theory rely heavily on mathematical statistical fitting to interpret experimental outcomes, yet they fail to reveal the real physical evolution mechanism of photons at the microscale. Moreover, they inherently suffer from symmetry breaking, causal discontinuity and logical inconsistency. The symmetry-breaking analogy widely adopted in academic circles contains dimensional mismatch and conceptual substitution, representing a cognitive bias that places mathematical tools above physical mechanisms. Based on the symmetry principle of classical physics and the rule of continuous causal evolution, this paper systematically identifies the core defects of mainstream quantum interpretations and points out the paradigm limitation of quantum mechanics that prioritizes mathematical fitting over physical ontology. A spatial particle resonance propagation model is proposed. This model explains that photons are essentially the resonance manifestation of space particles. When resonance passes through double slits, the resonance body splits symmetrically, and then recombines after passing through the slits to form interference. Measurement will break the symmetry of resonance, resulting in the disappearance of interference fringes. This model maintains continuous causality and geometric symmetry, and provides a new physical mechanism explanation for quantum uncertainty and measurement effects in double-slit experiments.
The double-slit experiment is typically presented as evidence for the non-classical nature of microscopic particles, especially when performed in the single-particle regime. However, the interference pattern that emerges on the detection screen is generated by wave propagation through two structured apertures, each acting as a narrow resonant cavity supporting longitudinal modes of a scalar field. In this work we derive the outgoing fields from the slits directly from boundary conditions and show that their superposition yields the standard far-field intensity profile of diffraction theory. The remaining aspect of the experiment — namely discrete, localized detection events — is accounted for by a minimal discrete-event model in which the continuous classical field drives quantized energy transfers at the detector. This approach is fully classical, requires no collapse postulate or nonlocality, and remains compatible with all known data. It clarifies which features of the experiment arise from field propagation and which arise from the discrete nature of detection.
This manuscript presents a deterministic boundary-phase model of the double-slit experiment. In this framework, particles follow continuous, definite trajectories while interference arises from structured curvature induced by slit boundary microstructure. The wavefunction is treated as a mathematical representation of a real boundary-generated field rather than a physical matter wave.The model preserves established interference results while introducing a falsifiable experimental prediction: coherent fringe displacement scaling with engineered slit roughness. For a baseline electron configuration (100 eV beam energy, 1 m screen distance, 1 µm slit separation), a measurable 2 µm fringe shift requires a relative phase offset of approximately 0.10 radians, corresponding to the coupling condition β_eff(δ/r) ≈ 0.10.A quantitative δ-sweep prediction is provided along with explicit experimental control requirements necessary to distinguish coherent boundary-phase displacement from conventional scattering or electrostatic effects. If the predicted scaling is observed under controlled conditions, the double-slit paradox can be resolved deterministically without invoking intrinsic randomness or wavefunction collapse.This work is presented as a falsifiable experimental proposal in quantum foundations and electron interferometry.
This work proposes a minimal ontological framework for interpreting wave–particle duality as a boundary-sensitive manifestation of quantum phenomena on an underlying, physically real but unobservable background. Rather than treating wave-like and particle-like behaviors as competing physical entities, the framework interprets them as distinct modes of manifestation determined by global boundary conditions. Motivated by interference experiments such as the double-slit setup, the study argues that experimental outcomes depend on boundary-induced modifications of a background structure beyond the local particle path. Within this view, wave-like interference corresponds to a nonlocal manifestation shaped by boundary conditions, while particle-like detection corresponds to localized manifestation events at measurement. The proposed interpretation preserves the standard quantum formalism while offering a realist, boundary-centered conceptual perspective that avoids observer-dependent collapse or multi-path particle propagation. The manuscript is provided as a preprint to invite open scientific discussion and critical evaluation.
This paper develops a fully empirical, physics-grounded reinterpretation of the double-slit experiment using the same flux-ledger framework established in Modules A–D of the Zero Infinity Research Program. By expressing quantum interference in terms of probability current density, boundary flux, and environmental decoherence, the work shows that the double-slit phenomenon requires no mysteries, hidden forces, or nonlocal metaphysics. Instead, the interference pattern emerges naturally from: Conservation of probability current, Phase-coherent flux across an open boundary, and Loss of coherence encoded as a measurable entropy-flux term Ψ∞. The analysis re-derives the standard results—interference fringes, collapse under measurement, and decoherence scaling—from first principles while embedding them within the broader conservation trilogy: Φ∞ (boundary energy flux) Ψ∞ (entropy/memory flux) Π∞ (momentum flux) This connects quantum optics to the same flux-driven framework used to model black hole mergers, spacecraft recoil, comet polarization curves, and organic spectral coherence in earlier modules. The paper also integrates cross-disciplinary results from decoherence theory, Bohmian mechanics, optical coherence tomography, and open quantum systems, showing how each maps cleanly onto a boundary-flux formalism. The result is a physically rigorous, mathematically transparent, and conceptually unifying explanation of the double-slit experiment—one that preserves standard quantum mechanics while clarifying how and where interference information is stored, exported, and erased. This work extends the Zero Infinity Program into quantum foundations, offering a synthesis of classical wave mechanics, quantum probability current, thermodynamic export, and information flow across system boundaries.
