NONLOCALIZABLE INTERACTIONS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE COMPTON EFFECT

Danil Doubochinski

This article continues the work on Argumental Physics of Interactions (DAPI), which develops the concept of the macroscopic quantum effect (DMQE) and a dynamic ontology of argumental physical objects and their interactions. The study systematically reveals the mechanisms of interaction and self-organization underlying the discreteness, stability, and cyclical nature of physical processes — from quantum systems to complex self-organizing structures. It is shown that argumental modes are one form of interaction between objects and fields, and that argumental topology describes the structure and dynamics of complex systems. Particular attention is paid to: self-regulating phase-frequency modulation, argumental interaction conditions, discrete stable modes, the dynamic nature of argumental physical objects, and questions regarding the relationship between the continuous and the discrete in Nature. The work includes directions for the development of DAPI, methodological remarks, and an extended bibliography covering current research on DMQE and DAPI. The research results provide a foundation for the further development of this new field—DAPI.

The Compton effect is commonly cited as a demonstration of the particle feature of light, while the wave nature of matter has been proposed by de Broglie and demonstrated by Davisson and Germer with the Bragg diffraction of electron beams. In this investigation, we present an entirely different interpretation of the Compton effect based on the postulates of de Broglie and on an interaction between electromagnetic and matter waves. The speeds of interacting electrons in the Compton scattering are quite fast and its mechanism relies heavily on the mass variation. Thus, based on this wave interpretation, the Compton effect can be viewed as a further demonstration of the postulates of de Broglie for high-speed particles. In addition to the scattered wave, a direct radiation depending on the mass variation is predicted, which provides a means to test the wave interpretation.

Abstract – The Compton effect is commonly cited as a demonstration of the particle feature of light. In this investigation, we present an alternative interpretation of the Compton effect based on the postulates of de Broglie and on the wave scattering from a space- and timevarying medium, without explicit resort to the conservation of energy and momentum.
