Global Realization Without Propagation: A Structural Model of Interference Beyond Local Dynamics

This work addresses the long-standing claim that interference phenomena—most notably in double-slit–type experiments—cannot be physically modeled without invoking wave propagation or particles following multiple trajectories. We show that this claim rests on an implicit restriction to local, dynamical descriptions acting between emission and detection. We introduce a minimal framework in which detection events are treated as discrete realizations occurring at an absorbing boundary, while the observed interference pattern arises from global structural admissibility constraints of the full experimental configuration. The model does not attempt to generate or predict individual detection events. Instead, it characterizes the statistical distribution of outcomes as a property of realization closure rather than of local evolution in transit. Within this approach, interference patterns are understood as emergent statistical signatures of global realization structure, not as evidence of propagating waves, hidden variables, or oscillatory dynamics in space. The framework preserves all empirical features of standard interference experiments while avoiding assumptions about intermediate physical processes that are neither observed nor required by theory. This work is consistent with relativistic and quantum no-go results concerning photon trajectories, localization, and in-flight observables. It complements earlier structural interpretations of light and realization by providing a concrete, physically explicit model demonstrating how stable interference statistics arise without propagation. The contribution clarifies the precise sense in which interference is modelable, and the sense in which it is not: individual events remain intrinsically unpredictable, while their global organization is physically intelligible at the level of realization structure. The model introduces no new forces, fields, or modifications of established equations, and is intended as a refinement of conceptual foundations rather than a replacement of existing formalisms.

Abstract

This work addresses the long-standing claim that interference phenomena—most notably in double-slit–type experiments—cannot be physically modeled without invoking wave propagation or particles following multiple trajectories. We show that this claim rests on an implicit restriction to local, dynamical descriptions acting between emission and detection. We introduce a minimal framework in which detection events are treated as discrete realizations occurring at an absorbing boundary, while the observed interference pattern arises from global structural admissibility constraints of the full experimental configuration. The model does not attempt to generate or predict individual detection events. Instead, it characterizes the statistical distribution of outcomes as a property of realization closure rather than of local evolution in transit. Within this approach, interference patterns are understood as emergent statistical signatures of global realization structure, not as evidence of propagating waves, hidden variables, or oscillatory dynamics in space. The framework preserves all empirical features of standard interference experiments while avoiding assumptions about intermediate physical processes that are neither observed nor required by theory. This work is consistent with relativistic and quantum no-go results concerning photon trajectories, localization, and in-flight observables. It complements earlier structural interpretations of light and realization by providing a concrete, physically explicit model demonstrating how stable interference statistics arise without propagation. The contribution clarifies the precise sense in which interference is modelable, and the sense in which it is not: individual events remain intrinsically unpredictable, while their global organization is physically intelligible at the level of realization structure. The model introduces no new forces, fields, or modifications of established equations, and is intended as a refinement of conceptual foundations rather than a replacement of existing formalisms.
