Ball Lightning as a Space-Phase Transient Coherence Domain: A Cross-Scale Statistical and Observational Evaluation Under the SP3 Framework

This paper examines ball lightning through the interpretive framework of SP3 (Space‑Phase)theory. Ball lightning has been documented for centuries and presents consistent featuresincluding spherical geometry, slow drift, hovering behavior, trans‑boundary movement, andfinite duration. Conventional physical models explain portions of the phenomenon but do notunify all observational characteristics. In SP3 language, ball lightning is interpreted as standardlightning energy that encounters or generates a confined space‑phase domain — a coherencecorridor that closes into a spherical structure. This paper compares documented observerreports with predicted functionality of coherence corridors, preserving a conversational style.
