Crystallization of Free Energy into the C₂–C₃ Matter Phase
This paper connects three previously developed elements of the present research program—the three-step relational closure C₃, the C₂–C₃ electromagnetic-field model, and the energy–matter phase-transition model—by interpreting matter formation as a structural transition from a fre...

Geometry and 4π Internal Periodicity of the Localized C₂–C₃ Closure
This paper reconstructs the internal periodicity of a localized self-sustaining closure from the longitudinal C₂ reciprocating update and the transverse C₃ cyclic update introduced in a tetrahedral–octahedral composite cell. In the previous Electromagnetic Field III, the periods...

Emergence of Lorentz Symmetry from Pregeometric Connectivity
This paper investigates the possibility that Lorentz symmetry and a finite invariant limiting speed emerge from the update structure of pregeometric connectivity, rather than being assumed as a priori properties of spacetime. The fundamental entity is taken to be a binary connect...

A Relational Reinterpretation of the Speed of Light and the Fine-Structure Constant
This paper proposes a relational reinterpretation of the speed of light c and the fine-structure constant α using a spatial quantum ℓ₀ and a temporal quantum τ₀ emerging from pregeometric connectivity. The spatial quantum is defined as a fundamental spatial measure generated when...

Relational Foundations: Fundamental Constants, Relative Phase, Action, and the Persistence Principle
This paper proposes a pregeometric foundation in which fundamental physical quantities are understood not as isolated 'absolute quantities' but as relations among multiple quantities. The point of departure is not philosophical relationalism. Rather, equations describing the spee...

Spatial_and_Temporal_Quanta_from_Pregeometric_Connectivity
This note proposes a spatial quantum and a temporal quantum as elementary constituents of space and time emerging from a more fundamental pregeometric connectivity, rather than assuming space and time as pre-existing continuous backgrounds. In earlier work, connectivity among obj...

Quantum Entanglement as a Manifestation of Pregeometric Connectivity
This paper reinterprets quantum entanglement from a pregeometric perspective in which connectivity precedes distance, metric, and continuous space. At the lowest layer, objects are represented solely by sets of relations. It is assumed that the addition of physical interaction to...

A Unified Geometrical Interpretation of Zitterbewegung and de Broglie Matter Waves
Zitterbewegung and de Broglie matter waves are both phenomena associated with the quantum-mechanical properties of the electron, but they are usually discussed in different contexts. Zitterbewegung is understood as a rapid oscillatory motion appearing in the Dirac equation, where...
