Geometric Origin of Quantum Structure from Sphere-on-Sphere Topology\\ in the Operator-Derived Dimension (ODD) Framework
Abstract
We extend the sphere-on-sphere geometric quantization mechanism of the Operator-Derived Dimension (ODD) framework to derive the full kinematical structure of quantum mechanics. Starting from the topological origin of Planck’s constant h as a winding invariant of the S1 intersection between the five-dimensional bulk and the four-dimensional causal horizon, we show that the symplectic form, canonical commutation relations, phase, spin, and the path-integral formulation arise uniquely and necessarily from the same geometry. Quantization is therefore not postulated but enforced by topology, while operator algebra emerges from the transverse slicing dynamics. This places the foundations of quantum mechanics on geometric and topological necessity rather than axiomatic assumption.
