Light is Neither a Particle nor a Wave: An Informational Interpretation of the Double-Slit Experiment

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: This work proposes an alternative interpretation of the nature of light and the double-slit experiment.The central idea is that light is neither a particle nor a wave, but rather an informational state transmittedbetween nodes of a discrete spatial structure. The interference pattern observed in the double-slitexperiment arises not from the wave nature of the photon, but from the geometry of available nodes andthe dynamic nature of this structure. The work is conceptual and does not contain a rigorousmathematical formalism.
