Dual-Layer Light v1.0: A Proposed Structural Explanation for the Invariance of the Speed of Light

This paper proposes a dual-layer hypothesis: that light possesses two simultaneous modes — a particle mode (photon) and a Ki-wave mode (気波動) — and that mutual resonance between these two layers is the structural cause of light speed invariance. The framework extends the Ma Resonance Theory (Katayama, 2026) from astrophysical interval dynamics into fundamental physics. Version 1.0 presents the initial structural hypothesis prior to adversarial review. Submitted for peer simulation review (adversarial critique and structural analysis) as part of the SYSTEM YOSHIMITSU KATAYAMA research process.

Abstract

This paper proposes a dual-layer hypothesis: that light possesses two simultaneous modes — a particle mode (photon) and a Ki-wave mode (気波動) — and that mutual resonance between these two layers is the structural cause of light speed invariance. The framework extends the Ma Resonance Theory (Katayama, 2026) from astrophysical interval dynamics into fundamental physics. Version 1.0 presents the initial structural hypothesis prior to adversarial review. Submitted for peer simulation review (adversarial critique and structural analysis) as part of the SYSTEM YOSHIMITSU KATAYAMA research process.
