Dual-Component Energetic Soliton Model: A Mechanical Solution to Wave-Particle Duality, Kinetic Smearing, and Photon-Induced Matter Condensation

One of the foundational pillars of modern physics—wave-particle duality and the absoluteness of the speed of light (c)—lies at the core of the ontological tensions between quantum mechanics and relativity. This study rejects the assumption that the photon is an abstract, zero-dimensional mathematical object, proposing instead a two-component mechanical structure consisting of a micro-"core" at the center—exhibiting microscopic fluctuations (less than a billionth fraction) at low energy and evolving into a spatial macro-superposition (form and position uncertainty) at high energy—surrounded by a dynamic "energy envelope" carrying the core's frequency-dependent vibration kinetics. This model provides a mechanical foundation demonstrating how low-frequency optical events allow fields to pass through one another (wave/ghost behavior) due to minimal core kinetic smearing and sub-nanoscale fluctuations, while high-frequency gamma conditions drive core interactions and Breit-Wheeler matter condensation through increased vibration intensity and macro-superposition (effective cross-section growth). Furthermore, it is discussed that the measured speed of light is not an abstract spacetime curvature, but a local terminal speed shaped by the quantum background.
