Abstract

Using thought experiments as a central methodology, this project proposes a theoretical framework that bridges traditionally segregated academic perspectives—including physics, quantum mechanics, information theory, and thermodynamics. The ELS Framework reinterprets quantum phenomena through the lens of minimal degrees of freedom. Prioritizing conceptual architecture and physical intuition over rigid mathematical derivation, this research provides a unified explanation for quantum coherence, decoherence, material stability, and the fundamental relationship between time and density. Furthermore, this framework presents conceptual design ideas for future quantum technologies, energy control systems, and physics-based innovations. The ultimate goal of this project is to establish a foundational vision that invites future theoretical formulation and experimental validation.
