I have been promoting the idea of percolation as the genesis for light and energy transfer. I stick to that premise, but lately have been musing about refracted waves at atomic size scales. Likely there is a very tiny (amplitude) wave at the atomic scale of entangled interactions, that accompanies the center-of-field percolation.
The self assembly of lyotropic aether builds out a partially tessellated field for energy transfer, in the way of an LCD monitor with its liquid crystal. At the very center of this tessellation is pure percolation energy. It is as flat as it can possibly be, given the geometric trajectories of a percolation. A pure percolation is not a wave, instead it is entirely longitudinal as it traverses the network topology of the structure (in this case lyotropic aether). This is probably only the case for the very center of the light ray/beam/waveguide/tessellation.
Mathematicians will correct me and my term “partially tessellated” – because the term implies that the field is entirely tessellated. However; I could find no other word in the current notation for this effect. So, for the time being, bear with me. As an informally informed guy, I claim this privilege.
The tiny wave would be exactly the size of the quantum object involved (photon, atom, molecule, etc), and therefore never detected by instrumentation designed to see only the wave of the outer regions of the tessellation field, a span that is in the area of 10,000 times larger (than the atom, photon, molecule). I still am not sure how much this refracted wave contributes to the Wilberforce Pendulum effect that I say drives quantum entanglement. It seems more like a Wilburforce Pendulum than a coupled oscillator effect, because the standing waves do not respond to changes in distance.
Note: the author is a writer on technical subjects in some areas, of novels, and of other literature, but does not have any formal credentials related to the medical field, or in physics. Thus, this all constitutes an opinion of what might be possible, based on his own hobby-level knowledge quests
I have been dancing around the issue of the "medium" - as I have been calling it. This is of course for political reasons. I do not name what it is, because mind foreclosure of many causes an instant disconnect. For those who still believe in the Michelson-Morley experiment, there is a nice book that thoroughly debunks the entire experiment on multiple levels. To the entries in the book, I would add that the assumption of the medium as having gas-like properties all the time is grotesquely out of touch with science, in and of itself. The "medium" is lyotropic, which is neither always a gas, nor a solid, nor a liquid - and more approximates a plasma.
The book is "The Golem" by H. Collins and T. Pinch.
