UDCT v4.4: Dynamic Self-Regulating Bidirectional Back-Reaction in the Double-Slit Experiment

Abstract

We present a detailed numerical investigation of the internal encoding of path information in the double-slit experiment within the Unified Dimensional Cohesion Theory (UDCT) v4.4 framework. We replace the previous static geometric memory kernel with a Dynamic Self-Regulating Bidirectional Back-Reaction (DSBB) paradigm. In this framework, the spacetime geometry itself dynamically responds to curvature errors induced by the projected wavefunction through a self-regulating feedback field B(r,t), whose damping is controlled by Gamma(B) = (1/tau_0)(1 + beta |B|^2). This eliminates any ad-hoc memory history while enabling real-time bidirectional coupling between the probability density and the effective geometric potential V_DSBB. Using the split-step Fourier method on a 256×256 grid, we demonstrate in two-dimensional simulations with a physically realistic double-slit barrier that the DSBB field develops clear spatial asymmetry between the two paths, internally encoding which-path information without external measurement. Furthermore, we introduce a Detector Freezing Mechanism that overwhelms the self-regulating loop at mid-evolution, driving the system toward classical bimodal distributions. Our results show near-perfect unitarity (norm conservation to \~10^{-15}) and provide concrete evidence that dynamic self-regulation in spacetime geometry can resolve the measurement problem and path distinguishability in a physically transparent manner. The DSBB framework offers significant conceptual and numerical advantages over the static memory approach of v4.3.

UDCT v4.3: Internal Encoding of Path Information through Geometric Memory in the Double-Slit Experiment

Won Shik Paik

We present a detailed numerical investigation of the internal encoding of path information in the double-slit experiment within the Unified Dimensional Cohesion Theory (UDCT 4.3) framework. Using the Auxiliary Variable Method, we evolve a geometric memory field concurrently with the wavefunction in a strictly unitary manner. In one-dimensional simulations, we systematically vary the memory coupling strength γ across the range [0, 100] with fixed relaxation time τ = 0.12 and perform quantitative analysis of interference visibility and peak broadening. Visibility is computed using peak detection with prominence thresholding on the final probability density. In two-dimensional simulations with a physically realistic double-slit barrier, we demonstrate that the geometric memory field develops a clear spatial asymmetry between the two slits. This asymmetry is quantified and shown to encode which-path information internally without any external measurement. We compare our wavefunction-based approach with previous trajectory-based formulations (v4.2) and discuss the advantages and limitations of each. Our results provide concrete evidence that geometric memory can serve as a physically grounded internal mechanism for path distinguishability in quantum systems.

UDCT v4.5: Dynamical Emergence of Born Rule Statistics from the DSBB Stability Landscape (Paper + Reproducibility Code)

Won Shik Paik

This record provides the full paper and reproducibility package for UDCT v4.5, which investigates the dynamical emergence of Born Rule statistics within the Double-Slit Born-Backreaction (DSBB) framework — originally introduced in v4.4 as Dynamic Self-Regulating Bidirectional Back-Reaction. In this work, we introduce a measurement-induced deformation of the Stability Landscape through the Detector Freezing mechanism. By constructing a Free Energy Functional combining DSBB feedback energy with a Shannon entropy term, we demonstrate that the system relaxes toward a biased bimodal probability distribution. A perturbative analysis yields an explicit zeroth-order solution that reproduces the main features of full two-dimensional simulations with a minimum L2 relative error of only 2.41%. This result suggests that Born Rule-like statistics can emerge dynamically from the interplay between unitary evolution and geometric back-reaction, rather than being introduced as an independent postulate. Future directions include developing a more rigorous first-principles derivation from functional Fokker-Planck dynamics and extending the scalar feedback field to a chiral restoring tensor in four-dimensional spacetime. The reproducibility package contains the full paper and a self-contained Python script that allows anyone to exactly reproduce the main quantitative results reported in the paper (including the 2.41% L2 error and optimized parameters). Researchers are encouraged to download the code and run Mode A, which reproduces the paper’s benchmark results using the original dataset. □ Related Work This work builds upon the DSBB framework originally introduced in: Paik, W.

UDCT v4.0: A Dynamic Geometric Framewor9k for the Double-Slit Paradox and Measurement Problem

Won Shik Paik

This paper extends the Unified Dimensional Cohesion Theory (UDCT v4.0) to the quantum domain by replacing the probabilistic foundations of quantum mechanics with a deterministic, geometric framework. We argue that the long-standing difficulties of quantum mechanics, including the measurement problem and the double-slit paradox, arise not from the intrinsic nature of particles, but from the structural assumption that spacetime provides a static, inert background. By extending the dynamic compactification mechanism into the microscopic regime, we introduce a non-local temporal memory kernel and dynamic geometric back-reaction at the quantum scale. Within this framework, quantum behavior emerges as the deterministic response of localized energy densities interacting with a living, responsive higher-dimensional geometry. This model offers a new geometric paradigm that aims to establish a physically transparent description of quantum foundations.

Unified Dimensional Cohesion Theory (UDCT v4.2): Numerical Exploration of Microscopic Spacetime Hysteresis in the Double-Slit Geometry

Won Shik Paik

Unified Dimensional Cohesion Theory (UDCT v4.2) proposes that quantum phenomena such as double-slit interference can arise from the deterministic interaction between localized energy and a dynamically responsive microscopic spacetime endowed with memory. In this work, we present extensive two-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate this hypothesis. We implemented causal memory kernels acting on the Minkowski metric and systematically explored particle dynamics in a double-slit geometry. Through comprehensive parameter studies, we identified three distinct dynamical regimes: a weak-coupling regime recovering classical trajectories, an over-coupling regime characterized by chaotic scattering, and an intermediate regime of controlled spreading induced by geometric memory. Among the memory kernels examined, a damped oscillatory kernel produced the strongest suppression of trajectory spreading, achieving a minimum standard deviation of approximately 8.4. These results demonstrate that microscopic metric memory can exert significant deterministic influence on particle trajectories. However, clear bimodal interference patterns have not yet been observed, and stronger spreading control was often accompanied by reduced detection efficiency. Our findings establish a quantitative foundation for exploring geometric mechanisms underlying quantum phenomena while highlighting key challenges that remain for reproducing full interference patterns through spacetime hysteresis alone.

UDCT v4.7: Parametric Robustness of the Emergent Born Rule in the DSBB Stability Landscape

Won Shik Paik

UDCT v4.7: Parametric Robustness of the Emergent Born Rule in the DSBB Stability Landscape This paper presents a comprehensive One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) robustness verification of the dynamically emergent Born Rule within the Double-Slit Born-Backreaction (DSBB) framework of the Unified Dynamic Cohesion Theory (UDCT v4.7). Building on the geometric derivation established in UDCT v4.5, we subject the DSBB system to twelve independent parametric perturbations across four key parameters: wavepacket width σ (±10%), detector freezing time t_freeze (±0.1), coupling strength λ (±20%), and effective temperature k_eff (±20%). Results show that the L2 relative error between the full 2D microscopic simulation and the theoretical zeroth-order solution remains tightly bounded within ±0.44% of the baseline value (2.41%), while preserving 100% bimodal structural integrity in all cases. These findings provide strong quantitative evidence that the emergent Born-like probability distribution functions as a robust geometric attractor inherent to the DSBB Stability Landscape. A major goal of this work is full reproducibility. The accompanying reproducibility package implements a dual-mode execution system (Mode A: Paper Reproduction Mode; Mode B: Full Scratch Mode) together with a self-healing environment designed to be accessible even to undergraduate students. This work establishes a high-precision, reproducible benchmark for future investigations into the geometric origin of quantum probability.

Single-Photon Double-Slit Interference in the 4+1 Formalism

Filip Strubbe

Unifying quantum theory with general relativity is challenging because of several problems related to time and to collapse in quantum measurements. In the double-slit experiment, the questions are how the momentum of the photon is transferred to a specific location on the screen and how the double slit recoils accordingly. This work investigates if these problems can be solved by adding a second time τ, which acts as an external evolution parameter, to standard four-dimensional spacetime. Within the resulting 4+1 formalism, a model for the single-photon double-slit experiment is developed. On the one hand, each spacetime associated to a value of τ relies on classical worldlines that obey local momentum conservation. On the other hand, these worldlines are allowed to readjust as a function of τ such that the quantum phenomenon of double-slit interference can be reproduced. The model explains how determinate outcomes are produced and how momentum transfer occurs in a way that satisfies the principles of relativity and local momentum conservation. As a result, the measurement problem and the problem of time evaporate, and an explanation for our experience of the present emerges. Since the presented model succeeds in explaining a key quantum phenomenon with essentially classical worldlines, this is relevant for the field of quantum gravity.
