Memory-Conditioned Circulation and Feedback as a Candidate Physical Origin of Quantum-State Selection
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper proposes a falsifiable candidate mechanism for the emergence of preferred quantum-stateconfigurations within the hypothesized nested, conditionable space medium of SP3 theory. The proposal is guidedby three observations from established physics: competing reinforcing and inhibiting processes generateorganized patterns in natural systems; neutral atomic systems exhibit induced and correlated electricalresponses associated with van der Waals interactions; and superfluid helium can sustain long-lived, quantizedcirculation. The SP3 hypothesis is that electron-associated circulation couples to a responsive nest–wrapboundary, generating alternating mountain-and-valley configurations whose later behavior depends on retainedmedium conditioning. A minimal coupled model introduces a boundary coordinate, circulation phase, and causalmemory variable. It predicts frequency-dependent phase lag, history-dependent response, resonance shifts, andmode-dependent stability. The paper derives those predictions, specifies discriminating tests and null outcomes,and distinguishes the proposed architecture from experimentally established quantum mechanics. No derivationof electron spin, the hydrogen spectrum, or the van der Waals coefficient is claimed.
