Quantum-Resonance Lattice Theory: A Conceptual Pre-Geometric Model of Matter Emergence via Topological Collapse

This preprint develops the Quantum-Resonance Lattice (QRL) model, proposing that elementary particles emerge through the topological collapse of a three-dimensional cubic lattice of filamentary multi-channel waveguides. A fundamental spectral parameter λ₀ = 766.490 nm (E_res ≈ 1.6176 eV) is introduced. The Hamiltonian is formulated, cell multiplicities for the electron, proton, and neutron are calculated and discussed, and the model is compared with string theory. Information density at collapse is evaluated in relation to the Bekenstein–Hawking bound. Several experimentally testable predictions are presented.
