A frozen numerical record of a two-dimensional electron double slit in which the idealized impenetrable wall is replaced by a barrier of finite height and finite thickness, and the response is measured against a finite low-transmission control rather than against an infinite wall. Three artifacts. The primary record contains a preregistration of five cases, an independent split-operator solver, the closure evidence and a gate ledger; it was cryptographically committed before a blind exchange with an independent worker who had frozen his own calculation. A detector-position supplement varies only the plane at which the current is recorded, 1–14 nm, and identifies which planes are physically usable rather than forcing them. A wall-height record varies only the barrier height, 2.35–24 eV on both sides of the control, and both thicknesses. What the records establish: the finite-minus-control response separates into a through-thickness term, calibrated independently by the no-slit geometry, and a face and edge term that survives when the thickness kills tunnelling; a hard spatial partition into "material" and "aperture" contributions is not well defined, since shifting the mask by one or two grid cells reverses the sign of the attributed bulk contribution; the residual vanishes only when the two walls are identical and reverses sign when the test wall is the harder one, so it is the difference between two standard responses and not a property of one wall; and its form is one scalar function of the wall height times one geometry constant. What they do not establish, and prove they cannot establish in this geometry: which property of the wall carries that function, since a null regressor with no derivation behind it fits equally well and the measurement that would separate the two is smaller than the numerical systematics. No additional quantum path, no Born-rule violation and no physics beyond the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is claimed or supported. Withdrawn constructions, corrections and errata are retained in the records rather than removed. Each archive carries a manifest, a verifier that re-derives its summary from the raw output and rebuilds its report byte-identically, and a set of mutations that must each be caught — six, five and seven negative controls respectively. The two supplements reproduce values of the primary record's gate ledger bit for bit. Every claim carries its register: exact result, computed here, conditional, constitutive, open, or prediction.

This work studies a finite-potential, finite-thickness electron double slit entirely within the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Three main findings survive numerical and adversarial checks. First, a sharp real-space partition between material and aperture contributions is not unique: small shifts of the partition can alter the assigned bulk contribution and reverse its sign. Second, thickness scans separate a through-thickness term, independently calibrated in a no-slit geometry, from a finite-wall residual that remains when direct barrier transmission becomes very small. Third, varying the wall height through a finite 8 eV control drives the finite-minus-control residual through zero and reverses its sign. The wall-height dependence transports across thickness with one fitted geometry constant, while the physical carrier of that dependence remains unresolved. No result requires an additional quantum path, a Born-rule violation, or dynamics beyond standard quantum mechanics.
This work presents a self-contained reconstruction of the double-slit experiment under the Đukanović Theory of Everything, the Quantum of the Fundamental Asymmetry, and Admissible Probability. It begins by retaining the complete ordinary-quantum two-path and path-marker mathematics: arbitrary path imbalance, mixed marker states, calibrated visibility, detector response, path distinguishability, complementarity, finite-sample inference, and operational identifiability. It then separates that operational layer from a second problem: what distinguishes reversible correlation, decoherence, or amplified evidence from the constitutive event by which one admissible possibility acquires fixed historical truth-status. The central record architecture consists of source authentication, quotient-stable record identity, temporal descendant continuity, and whole-domain non-recoverability within a declared Null-Speed-bounded audit domain. This packet can reject reversible or unauthenticated false positives and can conditionally certify persistent record-capable morphology. It does not derive an exact outcome selector, collapse rate, or microscopic execution law.
A durable quantum record, the location of its coherence, and a uniquely actual outcome are different physical questions. We study their separation in a supplied finite-dimensional quantum theory. An explicit, time-independent apparatus couples a system–detector encoding to a controller, a distinct archive, and a finite returning source. A conditional energy penalty suppresses release of the original record without deleting its return coupling. An invariant reduction and a one-sided spectral-gap estimate yield a certified interval with archive occupation above 0.98438, controller-latched occupation above 0.99161, and filled-but-unlatched weight below 2.402 × 10^-7 in one stated design. The same record statistics admit different source-label overlaps and hence different coherence on a specified retained boundary. A conserved product of complementary exchanges accesses that coherence when the finite source is included. Given a calibrated multiregister reader, its finite-duration response separates the coherent apparatus from an independently added archive-gated reduction law, with the added process left active during readout. A conservative example retains a response gap above 0.01717 after separately stipulated one-percent error allowances. The contribution is the finite construction and its quantitative retention, access, and readout interfaces. Quantum carriers, Hamiltonian couplings, trace readout, source preparation, and the reader are supplied; local reader synthesis, empirical calibration, absolute rate selection, and unique-event actualization are not established.

A benchmark, not a new theory of diffraction. The propagation mathematics used here is established scalar wave optics. What is tested is an architectural question: which information must be present in a solver before the slit pattern can exist? The generator receives a device class, one invariant free-space evolution operator, a binary geometric admissibility mask, and one square-law detector. It does not receive the single-slit minimum formula, the double-slit path-difference relation, the fringe spacing, or a target intensity profile. Only the aperture mask changes between runs. Analytic diffraction formulas are isolated in a separate process that executes after the raw detector profiles have been written to disk. The feature detector that reads those profiles is scale-free and uses one threshold pair, unchanged across every aperture; its isolation from the device parameters is enforced by test rather than asserted in prose. Writing the cascade as R_B = D[U2 C_B U1 psi_P], the observed pattern is the detector-visible residuum of a state space restricted by device geometry and evolved by an invariant free-space law. Results Single slit, 30 µm: first four blind minima agree with post-hoc finite-angle Fraunhofer controls to a maximum relative position error of 0.00953 %. Blind width change to 17 µm, with propagator, detector, feature detector and thresholds all frozen: maximum error 0.00176 %. The detected first-minimum scaling ratio is 1.765138 against an inverse-width prediction of 30/17 = 1.764706. Double slit, 30/150 µm: complex-field propagation is linear to 4.17e-16 relative error, while square-law detection yields a centre coherent-to-incoherent intensity ratio of 1.99999984 and a full normalised profile matching the post-hoc control over ±20 mm with RMSE 6.14e-5. An independent direct-space Rayleigh-Sommerfeld solver, sharing no code path with the angular-spectrum generator, reproduces the same minima to within 1.4 µm. This supplies the validator that the projector-illuminated case lacks, since that case has no closed form: the 66 µm shift of the first minimum under non-uniform upstream illumination exceeds the inter-method disagreement by a factor of 48. Eleven automated tests pass in the reference run. The claim, and its failure condition The contribution is a separation rather than a physical result. The generative content of scalar diffraction admits an exhaustive partition into four individually phenomenon-independent components, and the analytic result laws occupy none of them. That completeness is the claim. It fails visibly if a new aperture geometry within the scalar regime requires a phenomenon-specific change to the evolution operator or the detector. The paper deliberately does not claim that quantum mechanics is unnecessary for interference: in the scalar regime tested, that statement would be uncontroversial rather than bold. The generator does contain physics, and the square-law detector is a postulate, not a theorem. The broader hypothesis about constrained joint state spaces is stated as a research programme and reserved for a subsequent tensor-space test.

This record contains the archived materials for Simulation B of the finite-barrier electron double-slit study conducted entirely within standard nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.The deposit includes four distinct records: the post-exchange protocol reconstruction, the frozen Simulation B outcome package dated 24 September 2026, the final numerical closure record, and a separately labelled post-exchange reconstruction of the setup-specific ~0.13 numerical scale using only values preserved in the frozen outcome record.The historical raw solver archive for Simulation B was not preserved. Accordingly, the protocol reconstruction and the ~0.13 reconstruction are explicitly identified as post-exchange records and are not presented as original preregistration artifacts or as reproductions of the historical solver.The frozen outcome package remains unchanged and serves as the primary provenance commitment for Simulation B.Simulation B provides an independent qualitative consistency record for the study, but it is not treated as a point-by-point numerical replication of Simulation A because the geometries, controls, detector coordinates, and normalization differ.The associated joint numerical record for Simulation A, including the frozen technical package, detector-position supplement, and wall-height scaling supplement, is available at:DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/V65H3Associated manuscript:Finite-Barrier Double-Slit Scattering in Standard Quantum Mechanics: Numerical Separation of Through-Thickness and Finite-Wall ResponsesAuthors: Ali Alhawarat and Pasquale Camelia.
@5incere5cience · Sincere Science · We Are the Champions 20 1 1 2 3 5 8 ... ∞AbstractWe re-examine the double-slit experiment under the ontology established in prior@5incere5cience work — discrete energy packets (Einstein 1905a), relative time with zeroproper time on null worldlines (Einstein 1905b), time as the sequence of discrete interactionevents in each packet's own frame, and agency as the direction of spin at the forced resolutionnode. Under these axioms, the difference between the 'no detector' (OFF) and 'which-pathdetector' (ON) regimes is a difference in the number of resolution events traversed by thepacket in its own history: two ticks versus three. The packet itself is the same discrete object inboth cases. What is traditionally called wave-particle duality dissolves as a linguistic artifactarising from the attempt to reconcile two statistical patterns by postulating a change of nature.Weak-measurement phenomenology is accounted for as population mixing of binaryindividual-packet histories, anchored by direct macroscopic observation in microscopy ofStructured Vesicular Entities (SVEs). The delayed-choice quantum eraser (Kim et al. 1999)dissolves its apparent retrocausality via the same separability-failure move previously used todissolve Bell nonlocality. The quantitative derivation of the OFF-regime interferencedistribution from first principles — the analog of the cos2(θ) derivation completed forpolarization in an earlier paper — is flagged explicitly as an open problem. All claims aremarked with epistemic status (observation, logical consequence, working hypothesis, postulate,open problem) so that readers can identify which parts of the construction are load-bearing,which are exploratory, and which invite refinement.
