The Ontology of the Photon in ICCF: Deriving Maxwell’s Equations and the Nature of Light from Causal Compression

This paper introduces a novel, first-principles derivation of the photon within the ICCF (Information-Cognitive Compression Field) framework. Contrary to the traditional view of photons as fundamental point particles, we propose that photons are best understood as causal disturbances in the compression field of spacetime, with their massless and transverse nature arising naturally from the geometry of this field. Starting from the ICCF core equation , we derive a wave equation that describes these perturbations, which mathematically coincide with Maxwell's equations. The study provides a unified framework to understand the essential characteristics of photons, including their massless nature, transverse wave properties, and constant propagation speed cc, all as inherent geometrical implications of the ICCF spacetime causal structure.
