The Double Slit Falsification: Resolving Wave-Particle Duality via the Informational Constraint Framework

For exactly one century, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics has conflated predictive statistical mathematics with physical ontology. By mistaking a mathematical map of probabilities for the physical territory of reality, twentieth-century physics enshrined Wave-Particle Duality and Wave-Function Collapse as fundamental tenets of nature, abandoning physical determinism for phenomenological mysticism. This repository contains the formal manuscript and executable visual proofs demonstrating that the paradox of Young's Double Slit experiment is entirely resolvable via macroscopic fluid thermodynamics. Utilizing the Informational Constraint Framework (ICF) and Macroscopic Relaxation Theory, we demonstrate that the electron is not a shape-shifting probability cloud, but a highly compressed, localized macroscopic geometry (the Core) propagating a continuous thermodynamic strain-gradient (the Wake) through a spatial substrate of strictly finite data-processing capacity. The Axiom of Propagation: The Wake shapes the terrain; the Core rides the terrain. By decoupling the Core from the Wake, this paper systematically derives single-slit kinematics, double-slit interference, the fundamental zero-mass nature of the photon, and the true physical reality of the "Observer Effect" strictly through the deterministic actions of continuous fluid topology. The cathedral of quantum probability is conceptually obsolete; it is herein mathematically replaced by the macroscopic thermodynamics of the spatial vacuum.

Abstract

For exactly one century, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics has conflated predictive statistical mathematics with physical ontology. By mistaking a mathematical map of probabilities for the physical territory of reality, twentieth-century physics enshrined Wave-Particle Duality and Wave-Function Collapse as fundamental tenets of nature, abandoning physical determinism for phenomenological mysticism. This repository contains the formal manuscript and executable visual proofs demonstrating that the paradox of Young's Double Slit experiment is entirely resolvable via macroscopic fluid thermodynamics. Utilizing the Informational Constraint Framework (ICF) and Macroscopic Relaxation Theory, we demonstrate that the electron is not a shape-shifting probability cloud, but a highly compressed, localized macroscopic geometry (the Core) propagating a continuous thermodynamic strain-gradient (the Wake) through a spatial substrate of strictly finite data-processing capacity. The Axiom of Propagation: The Wake shapes the terrain; the Core rides the terrain. By decoupling the Core from the Wake, this paper systematically derives single-slit kinematics, double-slit interference, the fundamental zero-mass nature of the photon, and the true physical reality of the "Observer Effect" strictly through the deterministic actions of continuous fluid topology. The cathedral of quantum probability is conceptually obsolete; it is herein mathematically replaced by the macroscopic thermodynamics of the spatial vacuum.
