Recurring Prismas and Light as Spacetime Oscillations

This paper presents a harmonic framework for light propagation in which photons traverse spacetime through discrete, phase-locked interactions with the underlying spacetime lattice. Observable phenomena such as rainbows, spectral dispersion, and diffraction patterns are reinterpreted as constructive and destructive interference of spacetime oscillatory modes rather than continuous electromagnetic wave propagation. Key contributions: Introduction of "recurring prismas" as phase-lock checkpoints along light's trajectory Field-based mean-phase coupling model that replaces pairwise ray-tracing calculations Explanation of spectral arc formation (primary, secondary, and supernumerary rainbows) through harmonic resonance Integration with Kuramoto synchronization dynamics to model collective droplet behavior Framework unifies classical optical phenomena with resonance-driven spacetime structure Applications: Laboratory prism experiments, atmospheric optics prediction, astrophysical light propagation through interstellar media, photon-matter interaction modeling. This work establishes the conceptual and mathematical foundation for treating light as a quantized resonance phenomenon within spacetime geometry. Detailed derivations of specific predictive formulas are developed in subsequent technical papers.
