Addendum III to the Berg Theory

Addendum III extends the Berg Theory by embedding electricity and electromagnetism into the same single-field “energy web” framework. Electromagnetic phenomena are treated as directed flux dynamics and orientation structure of the web: the sign of charge is interpreted as an orientation property of stable knot states and their boundary modes, rather than as a second “type of energy.” The addendum introduces a gauge-consistent internal guidance concept that fixes the operational meanings of charge, current, and voltage without ambiguity, and it anchors the construction in a minimal action-based U(1) sector that reproduces the standard Maxwell recovery relations and Lorentz coupling. Version 4 adds a reviewer-facing convention lock and audit structure: one canonical anchor equation, explicit sign and curvature conventions, and a compact action-check kernel to prevent hidden sign flips. It also tightens notation to avoid common collisions between curvature symbols, laboratory resistance notation, web “strength,” and resistivity, and it clarifies the scalar-potential convention used in the chosen metric signature. For readability, the stamp system is kept as an audit aid while purely algebraic “rearranged” marks are suppressed in print. A central element remains a conservative, falsifiable transport closure: electrical resistance is modeled as scattering on orientation reversals (“domain walls”), yielding a simple computable scaling in which the resistivity contribution increases with the density of such reversal regions. Version 4 strengthens the experimental layer by making non-thermal control requirements explicit (temperature stabilization, four-probe geometry, relaxation tracking, and damage/electromigration screening), and by clarifying that “domain wall” is used as a generic orientation-reversal region, including in non-magnetic metals. The framework leads to a sharp Berg-specific discriminator: persistent, non-thermal resistivity “training” under current pulses must be accompanied by a measurable remanent change in an independent order proxy (for example magnetization or domain order in ferromagnets, or transport anisotropy/noise proxies in non-magnetic conductors) under the stated controls. Magnetism is interpreted as organized circulation of directed flux, and light emission in discharges as web-wave release during rapid structural reconfiguration, with quantum regimes deferred to Addendum VIII.
