Abstract:"Any law or principle describing one area of science or reality must not contradict or create problems in another area. If such a contradiction arises, it is evidence that the law is either incorrect or incorrectly interpreted (being a projection of a more general principle onto a limited scale)." This work is part of the research program of the Unified Wave Cosmological Model (UWCM), developing the ontology of the Plast — a quantized network of spacetime. In previous works of the program, the concepts of nodes and connections were introduced, and it was shown that black holes and the Mendeleev table are subject to a single principle of connection configuration. In this work, this principle is taken to its logical conclusion: the electron is interpreted not as a particle and not as a wave, but as an activated connection between Plast nodes. This is not a replacement of a name, but a proposal of an ontological entity that explains what we measure when we register an electron: energy, charge, mass, spin — all these are projections of the state of a connection in the Plast Framework. It is shown that such an interpretation removes wave-particle dualism, quantum leaps, entanglement, the uncertainty principle, and the measurement problem without changing the equations of quantum field theory. Dualism ceases to be a mystery: the wave is a projection of the propagation of a connection, the particle is a projection of the transfer of connection energy to a node. The analogy of a cube that looks different depending on the angle of view makes this principle intuitively understandable. The work also shows that electrodynamics — from current to voltage, resistance, and the "instantaneity" of a signal — becomes the dynamics of connections in the Plast Framework. The Faraday cage is explained as an active redistribution of connections, and fields as projections of connections, not fundamental entities. Antistatics, generators, motors, and superconductivity receive a unified explanation through the density and coherence of transmitted activation. The work presents a summary table showing that 50 known phenomena — from quantum dualism to galaxy rotation, from chemical valence to the origin of life — receive a unified explanation through the dynamics of connections in the Plast Framework. The UWCM does not reject quantum field theory, but embeds it in a broader ontology. All equations remain in force. Only the understanding changes: what an electron is, what a field is, what measurement is. This is not new physics, but a new foundation for existing physics — and an expansion of its horizons.

AbstractWithin the framework of the Unified Wave Cosmological Model (UWCM), spacetime (theStratum) is a discrete quantized network, and its active boundary (the SGW) is the carrier ofinformation and the source of energy. In previous works (Slavutsky, 2026e, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19516683; Slavutsky, 2026f, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19518042), it was shown that the massof black holes is quantized: M = N · mP, and the energy transfer between the SGW and theStratum occurs in portions that are multiples of the Planck energy EP.In the present work, these results are extended to time. It is shown that the quantization ofenergy transfer and the discreteness of the Stratum entail the quantization of time: any changesin the system occur in discrete “ticks” with a minimal interval tP = ℏG/c5 ≈ 5.4 × 10−44s. This means that all physical processes, including the evolution of quantum states, occur insteps rather than continuously.On this basis, a new explanation is proposed for key quantum paradoxes:• Wave function collapse is not an instantaneous process but a sequence of Planck “ticks”during which the system transitions from a superposition to a definite state.• Entanglement is a synchronization of Stratum nodes occurring in its proper time; to anexternal observer, the effect appears instantaneous but actually has a minimal delay tP.• Schr¨odinger’s cat — the transition from superposition to a definite state takes a finitenumber of “ticks,” during which the system is in a transitional state.• The observer problem — “measurement” is recognized as a process in which the numberof coordinated “ticks” between the observer-node and the object-node exceeds a thresholdM, providing an objective criterion without invoking consciousness.The work demonstrates that time quantization not only does not contradict quantum mechanics but also resolves its fundamental paradoxes, offering a physically grounded alternativeto “instantaneous” and “nonlocal” interpretations.
This work presents a conceptual and representational framework aimed at clarifying the structural relationships among established physical theories across relativistic, quantum, and cosmological regimes. Rather than proposing new dynamical laws, particles, or experimentally testable predictions, the manuscript focuses on how existing physical descriptions may be consistently interpreted within a unified representational structure. The proposed Dual-Spacetime Projection Framework distinguishes between an underlying descriptive domain and an observed effective spacetime, connected through a scale-dependent projection. This distinction is intended as a formal and interpretative tool, not as an ontological claim about the existence of multiple physical spacetimes. Within this perspective, several foundational features of modern physics—such as Lorentz invariance, finite signal propagation, quantum uncertainty, and large-scale cosmological behavior—are discussed as consequences of representational structure rather than as independent postulates. The manuscript is positioned as a contribution to the foundations of theoretical physics, offering a coherent conceptual lens for organizing and interpreting existing theories. It is intended for readers interested in foundational questions, conceptual unification, and the representational aspects of physical law, and does not rely on experimental data or numerical simulation.
Existing mainstream quantum interpretations, such as the Copenhagen School's "wave function collapse" and Everett's many-worlds theory, respectively face ontological discontinuity difficulties and ontological redundancy questions. To break through this predicament, this paper presents a completely new quantum mechanics interpretation framework - the "mechanics network interpretation". The framework places "interaction" in ontological priority, arguing that the essence of physical reality is a holistic "mechanical network" composed of interactions. In this image, "particles" are the stable nodes in the network, "waves" are the coordinated dynamic responses of the network, and "information" is the material configuration that carries instructions for specific behavior. The core principle of this paper, the "Channel stability principle," states that quantum measurements are not mysterious collapses, but rather the dynamic results of observation arrangements (strong interactions) sifting out different dominant "channels" on the network: observations of "particleality," destroy coherent channels, while observations of "wave-like," protect or purify coherent channels. This framework provides a continuous, deterministic and physically intuitive explanation for the problems of quantum superposition, entanglement and measurement without the introduction of the "wave function collapse" postulate or an infinitely split universe. The paper applies this framework to key thought experiments (such as the EPR paradox, the Aspe experiment) and the latest empirical studies (such as the USTC optical tweezers atom experiment), showing that quantum nonlocality can be interpreted as an expression of the "overall structure" of the network rather than action at a distance; Quantum-classical transitions result from variations in the precision of network control. By comparing with systems of mainstream interpretations, this paper clarifies the unique value of the new framework in resolving conceptual dualism and returning to realism and continuity. As a "concept-first" research program, the value of this paper lies in providing a self-consistent worldview and a clear conceptual vocabulary, laying the necessary theoretical foundation for the future construction of a strict mathematical formal system and the derivation of novel physical prophecies.
Abstract The electron remains one of the most conceptually inconsistent entities in modern physics. Scattering experiments reveal no internal structure and constrain its radius to values far below any known physical scale, while quantum mechanics assigns it delocalized states, nonlocal correlations, and the absence of continuous identity between measurements. Quantum field theory, despite its predictive success, provides no position operator, no geometric or topological structure, and no ontological account of what the electron is. These contradictions arise from the particle‑field duality and the lack of a unified structural foundation. Within the χ‑framework of ZEBTS, the electron is reinterpreted as a massive χ‑Boundary Flash — a momentary actualization of χ‑structure at the interface between χ‑Potential and χ‑actualized reality. The electron does not persist between Boundaries; only χ‑correlation connects successive events. Mass, charge, spin, localization, and stability emerge from χ‑geometric, χ‑topological, χ‑spectral, and χ‑semantic structures encoded in the χ‑Universal Equation. Electric charge is shown to be a χ‑topological invariant; spin‑½ arises from χ‑spin structure; mass corresponds to a χ‑spectral gap; and the wavefunction is interpreted as χ‑semantic Potential rather than a physical field. This article develops a unified χ‑description of the electron, resolving the paradox of being simultaneously point‑like and delocalized, and demonstrating that the electron is not an object but an event. The χ‑framework provides a coherent ontology in which geometry, topology, spectral structure, and semantics form a single structural unity. The resulting picture clarifies the limitations of QFT, explains the origin of renormalization, and yields experimentally testable predictions in scattering, spectroscopy, EDM measurements, tunneling, and weak‑measurement regimes.
This work proposes a minimal ontological framework aimed at systematically resolving key conceptual paradoxes of contemporary physics. The central claim is that many foundational difficulties of twentieth- and twenty-first-century physics arise not from empirical anomalies or mathematical inconsistencies, but from a conflation of mathematical formalism with ontological interpretation. On the basis of a small set of minimal ontological axioms, the work addresses and resolves ten fundamental paradoxes, including wave–particle duality, the measurement problem and collapse, the arrow of time, irreversibility, quantization, the nature of gravity, cosmological origin, the finiteness of the Universe, the status of singularities, and the information paradox. The proposed framework introduces no new physical entities and does not modify existing physical equations. Instead, it imposes strict ontological constraints from which these phenomena follow as necessary consequences. The work does not present an alternative physical theory, but rather an ontological foundation explaining why modern physical theories are successful and why they encounter inherent explanatory limits.
We develop a structural reinterpretation of the foundational ontological problems of quantum mechanics within the program of Metamonism [1] and its physical extension Basic Ontodynamics [2]. Three ontological placeholders that have resisted satisfactory interpretation for a century — wave function collapse, wave-particle duality, and virtual particles — are identified as symptoms of a foundational gap: the absence of a structural account of what quantum objects are. The present framework proposes that quantum objects are activation regimes of the F-hierarchy at different degrees of F7 closure. The photon is F56 without F7 — an unclosed coherence regime. The electron is F56 with residual St closure. Wave-particle duality dissolves: there is one object at different closure states, not two natures. Collapse dissolves: measurement is a continuous F7 closure process driven by structural resonance, not a discontinuous transition. Virtual particles dissolve as ontological entities: interactions are direct F56 coherence redistributions through the shared background F123, with virtual particles as mathematical parametrizations of transient incomplete F7 closures. The uncertainty principle receives a structural reading: ∆x · ∆p and ∆E · ∆t are two aspects of the single constraint that F7 closure and F56 phase sharpness cannot be simultaneously maximal. Renormalization is identified as a symptom of ontological incompleteness: it compensates for the point particle idealization, the free propagator treatment of virtual particles, and the empty vacuum assumption— all of which the F-hierarchy framework replaces structurally. Five falsifiable predictions are stated: finite duration of atomic transitions, natural ultraviolet cutoff in vacuum fluctuations, vacuum birefringence at high laser intensity, confinement scale from F7 closure geometry, and renormalization group fixed points as F7 closure transitions. The paper is a programmatic contribution within Metamonism: it proposes a structurally unified ontological reading of quantum phenomena and establishes a research program in which the formal derivation of quantum mechanics from F-hierarchy dynamics becomes a well-posed task.
