Paper T7: How Light Really Moves Angular Coherence and Bidirectional Phase Propagation in the Holosphere Lattice

This paper proposes a new model of photon propagation based on angular coherence dynamics in the Holosphere lattice. We argue that light does not move as a continuous electromagnetic wave, but as a sequence of bidirectional angular phase transitions between discrete rotational units. Each photon’s motion emerges from alternating forward–backward coherence flips, producing a net forward velocity identified as the speed of light. This reinterpretation replaces classical field oscillation with angular coherence handoff, allowing light to propagate without requiring a physical medium or probabilistic wavefunction collapse. We show that both light and matter are transported via the same mechanism—one transient and solitonic, the other defect-bound and persistent. Comparisons are made to phonons, solitons, and Zitterbewegung to demonstrate analogs of this coherence transport. This framework provides a structural foundation for understanding light, interference, and wave–particle duality within a discrete, rotating universe.
