Relational Geometric Mechanics II: Electromagnetism — Coulomb's Law from U(1) Scalar Phase Interference

Paper II of the Relational Geometric Mechanics series. Derives Coulomb's law from the U(1) scalar phase component of the RGM wave signature. The electromagnetic coupling phase α_EM = π/2 is derived — not assumed — from the requirement that opposite charges attract. The sign structure of electromagnetic interactions follows from the phase algebra with no additional postulates. No new physical assumptions are introduced beyond those established in Paper I.

Abstract

Paper II of the Relational Geometric Mechanics series. Derives Coulomb's law from the U(1) scalar phase component of the RGM wave signature. The electromagnetic coupling phase α_EM = π/2 is derived — not assumed — from the requirement that opposite charges attract. The sign structure of electromagnetic interactions follows from the phase algebra with no additional postulates. No new physical assumptions are introduced beyond those established in Paper I.
