Condensivity (Ξ) and Phase Behavior in the Double-Slit Experiment
In the revised electromagnetic (EM) view of the double-slit experiment, Condensivity (Ξ) is introduced as a fundamental field property describing the local capacity of space or material boundaries to support coherent energy propagation. It serves as a continuum-level analog to impedance but emphasizes field alignment and coherence preservation, not just resistive dissipation.
In this framework, each slit in the experimental apparatus acts as a localized variation in condensivity. These discontinuities affect the phase and amplitude of traversing EM waves. High-Ξ regions encourage phase preservation and coherent propagation; low-Ξ boundaries act as decoherence sites or phase scatterers.
The edges of slits, where material boundaries transition sharply into vacuum or air, represent sharp Ξ gradients. These gradients contribute to phase discontinuities, altering the resulting interference pattern. The center of each slit, assuming geometric symmetry and material uniformity, presents a region of relatively uniform Ξ, minimizing field perturbation and allowing coherent wavefront propagation.
This local Ξ modulation reinterprets the observed interference patterns not as particle-wave duality artifacts, but as energy field reconstructions governed by spatial condensivity structure. The resulting interference is thus a direct measure of how field energy reorganizes through regions of varying Ξ.
Implications of Ξ Variation
Near-Slit Interaction Zones
Local Ξ structure defines the behavior of near-field interactions and wavelet emissions from the slit edges. These serve as the sources for the interference fringes observed on the detection plane.
Material-Dependent Phase Effects
The molecular and atomic composition of the slit material introduces slight, often overlooked, Ξ perturbations. These become especially relevant at smaller wavelengths or under coherent illumination, where material-phase coupling can subtly bias the interference field.
Coherence Collapse under Observation
Any form of observation — sensor, detector, or interaction — introduces a new Ξ boundary. This alters the coherence structure of the wavefront and suppresses the interference pattern. This aligns with the experimental reality that observation collapses interference — not by “measuring particles,” but by modifying the condensivity boundary conditions the EM field must traverse.
Summary Statement
The introduction of Condensivity (Ξ) replaces the need for metaphorical constructs like “wave-particle duality” with a more rigorous EM-based field interaction model. This concept provides a quantitative path to analyze energy phase relationships, boundary effects, and coherence mechanisms using field mechanics, not mysticism.
