Abstract We resolve the foundational mystery of the double-slit experiment within the Generalized Mass as Twisted Time (G-MaTT) framework. In G-MaTT, a particle is a stable topological knot in the emergent mass-torsional field ((\hat{M}_\mu)). Because time is explicitly defined as the phase evolution of this field, a spatial split of the field configuration at the slits forces an immediate temporal branching into two synchronized temporal streams. Quantum superposition is therefore revealed to be the physical branching of time along multiple paths. Interference arises naturally when these phase-synchronized time-branches structurally recombine at a detection plane. Wavefunction collapse occurs exclusively if a measurement interaction introduces a phase mismatch, triggering the Twist–Untwist (TUT) mechanism and causing geometric desynchronization of the temporal branches. This provides a causal, deterministic, and geometric account of wave-particle duality validated across quantum eraser, Bell, and GHZ architectures without invoking parallel universes or non-local collapse.

Building upon the unified 4D geometry of the Causal Smoothing Framework, this paper resolves three foundational paradoxes of quantum mechanics: wave-particle duality in the double-slit experiment, the measurement problem (wave function collapse), and the origin of particle-antiparticle asymmetry. By defining particles as time-like topological knots (ds² < 0) and quantum fields as the deterministic causal smoothing of vacuum momentum fluxes along the null boundary (ds² = 0), this framework discards probabilistic observer-driven collapse. The double-slit experiment is analyzed under two distinct boundary conditions (continuous emission and single-particle emission), demonstrating that quantum statistics are simply the macroscopic interference of vacuum geometry guiding discrete knots through a chaotic ER=EPR substrate. Furthermore, the framework provides a strict geometric proof for why fermions require distinct antiparticles while gauge bosons act as their own antiparticles, rooted entirely in the chiral phase of the localized metric shear.
This paper offers a strictly deterministic and causal resolution to the iconic Double-Slit Experiment, eradicating the need for the mysticism inherent in the "observer effect" and classical wave-particle duality. Using the Quantum Diffusion (QD) framework, it is shown that the particle does not possess a dual nature, but is invariably a topological perturbation (tensor wave) of the 12-dimensional subspace 𝐹μν. The interference pattern arises from the flow of this perturbation through channels of high spatial diffusivity 𝐷. Furthermore, it is shown that the "wavefunction collapse" induced by a detector is not a product of conscious observation, but rather of the physical injection of gauge asymmetry and electromagnetic friction into the slits, which drastically alters the local diffusivity gradient, destroying the geometric coherence of the tensor wave and forcing a localized trajectory.
The double-slit experiment stands as the cornerstone of quantum mysticism, often interpreted as evidence for particles existing in multiple places simultaneously or consciousness collapsing reality. Within the Absolute Medium (AM) Model, this experiment ceases to be a probabilistic paradox and becomes a deterministic, fluid-dynamic interaction between a moving excitation and the universal energetic net. We demonstrate that what standard physics calls “wave-particle duality” is actually “core-wake duality”: a localized topological defect (the core) moving through an ultra-dense elastic substrate generates a physical wave field (the wake) that interferes, guiding the core along paths of least resistance. All variations of the experiment— which-way measurements, delayed choice, quantum eraser—receive mechanical explanations grounded in the medium’s properties. This framework eliminates the need for superposition, wavefunction collapse, or observer-created reality, replacing them with the coherent dynamics of a continuous medium.
The double-slit experiment has long been interpreted as evidence of wave-particle duality and quantum superposition. Here we propose a deterministic alternative rooted in Trembling Spacetime Relativity Theory (TSRT), where particles always follow localized proper-time geodesics within a causally structured but metrically fluctuating spacetime. Apparent interference fringes arise not from wavefunction superposition, but from the deterministic redirection of particle geodesics due to curvature perturbations shaped by the slit geometry. The observed distribution of arrival positions is governed by two geometric mechanisms: (i) the slit separation, which sets the angular deflection range of redirected geodesics, and (ii) a minimal action threshold that enforces a resolution limit based on causal distinguishability. Planck’s constant emerges naturally from this causal constraint as the smallest resolvable geodesic action difference, without any quantum postulates. TSRT provides analytical predictions for fringe spacing and intensity distribution across a wide range of particles—photons, electrons, and neutrons—by applying geometric deflection laws to causally permitted geodesics. These predictions align closely with established experimental results. In addition, the TSRT framework enables simulation of arbitrary configurations by modeling ensembles of geodesics subject to metric trembling, providing a fully geometric alternative to quantum superposition.
Abstract Within the Generalized Mass as Twisted Time (G-MaTT) framework, we propose a candidate geometric mechanism for quantum entanglement. Systems that share the same braid topology and phase synchronization within a coherent domain exhibit non-local correlations, not through superluminal signaling, but through their common geometric substrate in the G₂ root lattice. We derive a characteristic entanglement relaxation time from the TUT window dynamics. This timescale is bounded below by the Planck time and is independent of spatial separation. The resulting picture is fully consistent with standard quantum entanglement observations while providing a deeper ontological foundation: entanglement as shared geometric identity rather than mysterious action at a distance. This mechanism does not violate causality and reframes non-locality as a natural consequence of the pre-spacetime G₂ geometry.
This work presents a unified, interpretive account of quantum interference and delayed-choice experiments that applies equally to photons and massive particles. Rather than invoking spacetime trajectories, wave–particle duality, retrocausality, or collapse postulates, the paper locates quantum interference in the coherent evolution of internal, pre-geometric degrees of freedom defined over classical spacetime. Within this framework, “which-path” questions are not merely unanswered but fundamentally ill-posed: interference arises from global coherence of an internal field subject to experimental boundary conditions, while spacetime itself remains single-valued and classical at laboratory scales. The approach reproduces all standard quantum-mechanical predictions without modification and is explicitly interpretive rather than predictive. A central result is a unified explanation of why interference occurs across disparate physical systems—photons, electrons, atoms, and molecules—while decoherence manifests through system-dependent physical mechanisms. Photons and massive particles differ in how internal coherence is lost (e.g., electromagnetic absorption versus collisional and thermal interactions), but not in the underlying principle. Delayed-choice experiments are reinterpreted without paradox: changes to the apparatus modify boundary conditions for the internal field rather than retroactively altering particle histories. By removing spacetime paths from the fundamental ontology, the framework offers a consistent, path-free account of interference, decoherence, and localized detection that preserves the empirical success of quantum mechanics while clarifying its conceptual foundations.
