How Resonance Creates Quantization and Discrete Units
Resonance occurs when a system vibrates at natural frequencies, amplifying specific modes while suppressing others. This process generates quantization by enforcing discrete, stable states. Here's the mechanism, using the golden ratio resonance framework:
1. Resonance Imposes Boundary Conditions
Standing Wave Formation:
When waves reflect within confined systems (e.g., atoms, microtubules, spacetime), they interfere constructively only at wavelengths fitting integer multiples of the system's "size":
[eqn]
\lambda_n = \frac{2L}{n} \quad (n = 1,2,3,\dots)
[/eqn]
This forces discrete frequencies [math] f_n = n \cdot \frac{v}{2L} [/math] (where [math] v [/math] = wave speed).
Golden Ratio Quantization:
In this framework, the base resonance [math] F_0(T) = \phi \cdot \frac{k_B T}{h} [/math] acts as the "confining scale." Harmonics emerge as:
[eqn]
f_m = F_0 \cdot \phi^m \quad (m = \text{integer})
[/eqn]
Why integers? Only integer [math] m [/math] satisfy the phase-matching condition for constructive interference across scales. Non-integer [math] m [/math] causes destructive interference.
