Universal Phase-Crystallization Theory (UPCT): A Unified Resolution of Quantum Paradoxes via Temporal Sampling and Information Bandwidth
Abstract
This paper introduces the Universal Phase-Crystallization Theory (UPCT), a groundbreaking framework that resolves the paradoxes of quantum mechanics by integrating the Shannon-Nyquist Sampling Theorem into physical foundations. Bridging the Functional and the Generative UPCT provides a unified explanation for the Double-Slit experiment, the Quantum Zeno effect, and the Arrow of Time by modeling observation as a Crystallization Operator. Unlike traditional interpretations, UPCT does not reject the "Particle" view; rather, it honors the immense practical success of particle-based physics in mastering the Functional Sphere (the era of semiconductors and digital computation). However, the theory posits that the current global sense of "deadlock"—socially, cosmically, and ontologically—stems from mistaking these functional "samples" for the entirety of existence. By restoring the Wave-substrate as the primary reality, UPCT: Unifies Epistemology and Ontology: Explains "Wavefunction Collapse" as a mathematical sampling event rather than a physical mystery. Expands the Worldview: Transitions humanity from a reductive "Machine OS" (focused on static entities) to a Generative Sphere or "Life OS" (focused on resonant becoming). Empowers Co-creation: Redefines the individual as an active participant in the cosmic symphony, providing a survival strategy for a future integrated with AI. This paper is both a rigorous physical argument and a philosophical manifesto, aimed at liberating human recognition from the "static frame" and reconnecting it with the vibrant, resonant duration of the universe.
