On the Structural Meaning of Planck's Quantum
Abstract
Starting from the exact identity E=mc²=fh, this work presents a purely analytical reorganization that makes explicit the internal structure shared by mass and Planck’s constant. By introducing a common structural factor, energy is expressed as the product of a frequency, a discrete elementary system change, and a propagation term. This decomposition leaves all standard relations unchanged but clarifies that mass necessarily encodes both a local system reordering and an intrinsic frequency, while Planck’s constant characterizes the propagated effect of a single elementary change. The analysis provides a compact reinterpretation of mass–energy equivalence and highlights a common structural core underlying mass- and frequency-based descriptions of energy.
