Abstract This work proposes the Lunet as a theoretical spectral entity of light, offering a potential resolution to the wave-particle duality problem. We suggest that light may be understood as a spectral entity whose manifestation as either a wave or a particle depends on its degree of spectral coherence. The photon is interpreted as a quantum manifestation (energy quantum) of the Lunet in a low-coherence state, while the wave corresponds to its high-coherence manifestation. This proposal is grounded in the ZPIF-USAC-ZZFZ framework, which derives spectral interactions from the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. If validated, this framework could open new directions in solar energy, laser technology, ultra-precision medicine, quantum computing, and space propulsion. This is a theoretical proposal intended to stimulate discussion and further investigation.

This work proposes The Lunet and The Lunec as the foundational elements of a spectral framework that integrates the Zero Pairs Interaction Functional, Unified Spectral Alignment and Coherence, and Zigzag Zero–Fractional Zero (ZPIF-USAC-ZZFZ) framework. This framework introduces the Lunet, a new spectral entity of light. It is neither a wave nor a quantum particle, but a spectral entity whose manifestation depends on its degree of spectral coherence (C). When C → 1, it appears as a wave. When C → 0, it appears as a photon. This proposal offers a potential resolution to the century-old wave-particle duality.The Lunec (Lunet Emission Coherence) is introduced as a theoretical device, supported by numerical simulations and mathematical models, with a proposed experimental protocol for future verification. Unlike conventional lasers, which rely on stimulated emission, the Lunec operates on the principle of spectral coherence, where the degree of coherence determines the manifestation of the emitted beam. When C → 1, the Lunec would emit a full-spectrum coherent beam, achieving an efficiency of up to 99%, far exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit of 33.7%.The framework is grounded in the ZPIF-USAC-ZZFZ framework, which derives spectral interactions from the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Numerical simulations using the first 10,000 non-trivial zeta zeros confirm the convergence of the framework and the predicted behavior of the Lunet and Lunec. This is a theoretical proposal intended to stimulate discussion and further investigation.

This work proposes the Lunet (plural: Lunets) as a fundamental spectral entity of light—a hypothesis for further investigation. We suggest that light may be neither a wave nor a quantum particle (photon), but a spectral entity that manifests as either depending on its degree of spectral coherence. The photon is proposed as a quantum manifestation (energy quantum) of the Lunet in a low-coherence state, while the wave is its high-coherence manifestation. This proposal is grounded in the ZPIF-USAC-ZZFZ framework, which derives spectral interactions from the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. If validated, this framework could open new directions in solar energy, laser technology, medicine, quantum computing, space propulsion, and environmental technology. This is a theoretical proposal intended to stimulate discussion and further investigation.
