Two Waves, One Heat, and the Lock that Writes Spacetime

Abstract

This paper proposes a foundational thermodynamic circuit model that reinterprets standard quantum mechanical wave-particle duality through a fluid-dynamic ontology of heat. Reviving the conceptual framework of heat as the primary flowing substance of the universe, the manuscript models unclosed energy waves (photons) and mass-bound states (neutrinos) as dynamic circuit components interacting via reciprocal energy handoffs. The framework introduces the concept of "locks"—vortex-like topological configurations where active thermal flow is trapped and converted into rest mass. Transducer mechanics link these particle states directly to spatial and temporal fields through specific impedance parameters \(R_s, R_t\), establishing a strict metrological constraint governed by metric stability. This approach offers an alternative physical intuition for mass-energy equivalence, framing inertia as the structural friction of circulating thermal fluid.
