Light, Correlation, and the Emergence of Reality. An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Fields
Abstract
This article presents an ontological interpretation of quantum fields, arguing that light and correlation form the foundational processes through which physical reality emerges. By shifting the focus from particle‑based metaphysics to relational and field‑based structures, the work explores how coherence, interaction, and the dynamics of correlation generate the phenomena we describe as ‘reality’. The article integrates conceptual analysis with insights from quantum field theory to propose a unified ontological framework.
