Definitions of Terminology
Please review each term in the associated color-coded sections for any term within it.
Waveform := A spatially extended, two‑dimensional oscillatory pattern composed of a fundamental frequency and its harmonic overtones, maintaining coherent phase relationships across its extent. The simplest form of structure; lacking assembly.
Filament := A coherent 3D spin structure whose intrinsic rigidity stores potential energy as twist strain, and whose projection onto lower‑dimensional space appears as an oscillatory waveform.
Frequency := Number of repeating waveform patterns per unit distance.
Wavelength := Distance between corresponding elements of a repeating harmonic pattern.
Superposition (verb) := The process by which interacting waveforms combine, producing a composite rotationally oscillatory geometry.
Constructive Interference and Photon Formation
This animation shows a blue wave flowing left-to-right and a red wave flowing right-to-left. The black waveform oscillates vertically — not laterally — and represents the superposition of the two waves.
There are two types of superposition:
-
Constructive interference: when waveforms align in phase, their amplitudes add. Peaks become higher, troughs become deeper — like adding two positive or two negative numbers.
-
Destructive interference: when waveforms are equal and opposite, their amplitudes cancel, producing a flat line.
In this animation, the black curve grows taller than either individual wave where constructive interference occurs, and flattens where cancellation dominates.
Matter–Antimatter Interaction and Photon Emergence
This cancellation is not just mathematical — it’s physical. When an electron (blue wave) and a positron (red wave) interact in perfect opposition, their waveforms cancel in amplitude but combine in geometry.
At the moment of exact cancellation: v = dx/dt → 0/0
-
The velocity equation becomes a limit;
-
In calculus, this limit resolves to: v=c
-
This is the emergence of a photon:
A region of constructive interference where matter and antimatter superpose, cancel their mass and charge, and propagate at the invariant speed c. All photon properties — mass, charge, inertia — are net zero, because they arise from balanced cancellation.
Yet the photon exists and propagates, because the twist geometry remains coherent.
Superposition (noun) := A stable composite formed by sustained interference alignment, creating an internal Environment in which constituent waveforms continue interacting while expressing a net interaction externally.
Assembled Superposition := A stable composite of interacting waveforms whose sustained interference alignment forms a coherent internal Environment, preserving the full harmonic geometry of all constituent waveforms.
Expressed Superposition := The outward-facing interaction state produced by the Assembled Superposition, representing the net effect of its internal interference as coupled across the Boundary Surface.
Environment := The domain in which influence propagates.
Domain := A region, such as an area or volume, of accommodation or containment.
FocalRegion := Domain of Interaction Probability.
Particle := The event-state in which two or more waveforms become internally synchronized in phase and simultaneously co-located in spacetime, forcing superposition and producing a discrete interaction.
Mass := Locked twist strain in a coherent waveform assembly that cannot cancel under superposition and therefore resists changes in translation.
Mass is decoupled spin at the invariant rate of energy, c.
Because the internal spin is not paired with an opposite twist, it produces a net angular momentum that behaves like a gyroscope:
-
it stabilizes orientation in spacetime;
-
it resists translation;
-
it anchors the assembly to a location;
-
its stability does not depend on material composition.
This is why mass relatively “sits” in spacetime: its internal twist is locked, unbalanced, and self‑stabilizing.
Energy is coupled opposite spin waveforms — twist pairs that cancel net angular momentum.
Because the spins are matched:
-
there is no gyroscopic stability;
-
no locked orientation;
-
no resistance to translation;
-
the assembly cannot “sit still”.
With no net angular momentum to hold it in place, the structure must propagate at the invariant rate c in whatever spacetime direction the geometry and spin-orientations permit.
Universe := The generative act that produces the domain in which influence can propagate.
The One Superposition := The maximal assembled superposition containing all constituent structures, coherence gradients, and influence potentials, forming the universal environment of interaction.
Cradian := A geometric unit of rotational slope in which the invariant propagation limit c is expressed as pi/2 radians, defining the maximum twist rate a Filament can sustain.
A Cradian measures rate of rotation per unit translation, not distance or time separately.
It encodes the slope of motion in space‑time. In Cradian geometry, the maximum twist strain a Filament can hold — its intrinsic rigidity limit — corresponds to a vertical slope at pi/2 radians.
This expresses the invariant speed of light as a geometric limit, not a numerical constant.
Light moves at c because a Filament cannot twist faster than its structural limit.

Structure := An organized assembly of interacting waveforms forming a coherent internal Environment with an Interface Patch boundary through which external Influences couple. A stably coherent superposition.
Surface := The structural boundary of a Structure.
Interface Patch := The region of a Structure’s Boundary Surface through which external interactions couple to the Structure.
Interface Patch := The region of a Structure’s Boundary Surface through which external interactions couple to the Structure. An interface boundary of arbitrary geometry.

Coherent := context: Waveforms as 'Geometric alignment of harmonic overtones.'
context: Semantics as 'Logically Valid Relationships'.
Coherence Gradient := A spatial or structural variation in coherence within or between Assembled Superpositions, creating a directional tendency for processes to flow toward regions of higher coherence (greater constructive alignment and synergy potential).
Coherence Potential := The local capacity of a region within an Assembled Superposition to increase constructive alignment and reduce destructive interference.
Decoherence Potential := The tendency of coupled waveforms to lose phase alignment, increasing destructive interference, reducing coherent structure, and diminishing the stability and influence of assembled superpositions.
Dispersion := The attractor state toward which waveforms drift under high Decoherence Potential, characterized by loss of alignment, diminished amplitude, and collapse of coherent structure into non‑influential patterns.
Synergy := The attractor state toward which coupled waveforms flow under increasing Coherence Potential, characterized by maximal constructive interference, reinforced harmonic alignment, and the emergence of stable, high‑influence structure.
