Accessible Field Depth and Electron Tunneling: A Testable Hypothesis for State-Dependent Resonance Accessibility

This paper proposes a simple and experimentally testable hypothesis that could either support or falsify a new structural interpretation of quantum tunneling using existing laboratory techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular junction systems. The work introduces Field Depth Coherence Mobility (FDCM) as a proposed state-dependent property describing how readily complete Field-Depth resonance structures undergo tunneling-compatible resonance transitions. Within the framework, Field Depth itself is assumed to remain constant, while molecular binding, phase-locking, and sequential confinement influence the experimentally observable tunneling behavior of electrons. Rather than replacing conventional quantum mechanics, the proposed framework offers a complementary structural interpretation that preserves standard tunneling theory while introducing a clear, falsifiable experimental prediction. If electrons with comparable energies and barrier conditions but significantly different molecular binding strengths exhibit systematic deviations beyond conventional orbital coupling models, the proposed hypothesis would merit further investigation. Conversely, if existing quantum mechanical descriptions fully account for the observations, the Field Depth Coherence Mobility hypothesis is unnecessary. The paper also discusses a preliminary calibration approach for estimating the effective magnitude of Field Depth and outlines possible future extensions toward other resonance structures within the broader Resonance framework.
