The Space-Time Illusion: Resolving Quantum Paradoxes via Single-Layer Causal Wavefront Dynamics

This standalone paper extends the Strata-Kairos Physics (SKP) framework to resolve the foundational paradoxes of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, the measurement problem (observer effect), and non-local entanglement ("spooky action at a distance"). Traditional quantum interpretations rely on abstract multi-dimensional Hilbert spaces or mystical wave-function collapses. By applying the Active Layer Propagation Principle, this paper demonstrates that quantum phenomena are structural artifacts of the Volumetric Fallacy—the legacy assumption that physical processes occur across a static 3D cosmic bulk. We prove that physical causality and field excitation are strictly confined to a singular, active two-dimensional propagation wavefront (d²x) at any given snapshot of cosmic time (\(\Sigma _{\text{Kairos}}\)). The wave function (Ψ) is redefined as the fluidic boundary layer of pre-decoherent informational potentials ahead of this wavefront. By replacing the standard 3D volumetric integrals with a localized 2D dimensional projection operator (\(\^{P}_{\text{Kairos}}\)), quantum "weirdness" resolves into deterministic, scale-invariant geometric mechanics. The paper includes a complete mathematical framework and references to the historic work of Einstein (EPR), Bell, and Bohr.
