Mahabbat and the Affinity Operator: Quantum Physics as Structural Convergence with Bahá'í Relational Ontology

'Abdu'l-Bahá stated, “Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress” (Paris Talks, p. 143). I propose and test the principle of the talk “The Acceptance of the Relation between Religion and Science” against the deepest findings of modern physics: Bell's theorem, relational quantum mechanics, and the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. My finding is that the Bahá'í metaphysics of mahabbat (relational love as the creative foundation of existence) is, on my reading, structurally equal in shape to relational quantum mechanics and Whitehead's process philosophy — not analogically, but in the precise sense of sharing the same logical architecture: existence constituted by relationship, properties emerging through relational interaction, and the force sustaining relationship identified as love. I argue that the Bahá'í writings articulate this structure forty years before Whitehead named it philosophically and a century before physics confirmed it experimentally. This chronological priority is not claimed as proof of supernatural authority; it is documented as evidence of independent convergence — the two-wings principle confirmed, on my reading, at the level of structure, not metaphor.
