Beyond Particle Persistence: Superposition as an Emergent Phenomenon of Zero-Point Energy

This article proposes an interpretation of the Schrödinger wave function as an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation, grounded in quantum field theory's polarization of vacuum. The central hypothesis is that particles lack persistence, being continuously replaced through sequences of annihilation-creation events mediated by virtual pairs arising from quantum vacuum or zero-point energy. These events form chains of displacement and replacement that give rise to the delocalization and superposition of states characteristic of the quantum wave. Using order-of-magnitude vacuum energy estimates and a tentative Nelson-inspired stochastic framework, this alternative proposal is used as a philosophical groundwork to explore locality over realism under Bell's Theorem. This work should be understood as an interpretative and ontological proposal framed within quantum foundations, supported by semi-formal calculations rather than a new predictive formalism, aiming to open new discussions and further research.
