Abstract

This paper explains, based on the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF), why macroscopic objects do not display wave behaviour, deriving the near-zero escape factor of large systems and the rapid drop of Mo upon interaction. It presents the Mo-modified Hamiltonian density and total Hamiltonian operator, treats energy exchange, thermalisation and environmental decoherence, and discusses the propagation of the collapse of the confined state.

The MEEF Model-Based Explanation of Wave–Particle Duality and the Double-Slit Experiment

Mohammad Reza Movahed Shariat Panahi

Abstract This paper, based on the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF), explains wave–particle duality and the double-slit experiment within the confinement picture: unobserved energy propagates as an unconfined wave, while measurement confines the energy and produces particle-like behaviour. The Mo transition at measurement is derived, and the de Broglie relation is recovered for confined systems. The framework's account of the collapse of the wavefunction is compared with standard interpretations.

MEEF Explanation of Heisenberg Uncertainty and the Energy–Time Relation Reframed

Mohammad Reza Movahed Shariat Panahi

The uncertainty principle is reinterpreted through the confinement picture: measurement is a structural perturbation that alters the local escape factor, and the energy–time uncertainty relation becomes a statement about confinement. This paper derives the Mo-modified uncertainty relations, treats measurement as a perturbation of the confinement state, and reframes the standard uncertainty bounds within the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF) framework.

The Aharonov–Bohm Effect, Confinement, and Quantised Energy Steps Based on the MEEF Framework

Mohammad Reza Movahed Shariat Panahi

The Aharonov–Bohm phase shift is re-examined within the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF) framework, where the escape factor modifies the phase accumulated by a confined charge. This paper derives the Mo-modified splitting, connects confinement to the quantisation of energy steps, and explains standing waves as confined, quantised energy. The implications for interference experiments and for the energy levels of confined systems are discussed.

The MEEF Model-Based Complex Numbers, the Point-Like Paradox and Time as Emergent

Mohammad Reza Movahed Shariat Panahi

This paper addresses, based on the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF), three foundational questions: why quantum mechanics requires complex numbers, why particles appear point-like, and how time emerges. In the MEEF picture, complex phase reflects the energy phase of a confined state, the apparent point-likeness is an artefact of extreme confinement, and time arises as a consequence of energy confinement, with implications for measurement and for macroscopic objects

The MEEF Model-Based Explanation of Quantum Entanglement and Bell Correlations as Shared Confinement

Mohammad Reza Movahed Shariat Panahi

This paper offers a confinement-based account of quantum entanglement based on the Movahed Energy Escape Factor (MEEF) model: two entangled particles share a single confinement state, so their correlations reflect shared phase-locking rather than superluminal signalling. The treatment is set against Bell's theorem and the experimental violation of Bell inequalities, and it is shown how the framework reproduces the observed correlations without transmitting information faster than light.

Macroscopic Superpositions, Decoherent Histories, and the Emergence of Hydrodynamic Behaviour

J. J. Halliwell

Abstract Macroscopic systems are described most completely by local densities (particle number, momentum, and energy) yet the superposition states of such physical variables, indicated by the Everett interpretation, are not observed. In order to explain this, it is argued that histories of local number, momentum, and energy density are approximately decoherent when coarse-grained over sufficiently large volumes. Decoherence arises directly from the proximity of these variables to exactly conserved quantities (which are exactly decoherent), and not from environmentally induced decoherence. This chapter discusses the approach to local equilibrium and the subsequent emergence of hydrodynamic equations for the local densities. The results are general but the chapter focuses on a chain of oscillators as a specific example in which explicit calculations may be carried out. It discusses the relationships between environmentally-induced and conservation-induced decoherence, and presents a unified view of these two mechanisms.
