Neutrinos emerge in beta decay processes, most fundamentally in free neutron decay: n p + e^- + ₑ. They have spin-1/2, non-zero mass, and interact only gravitationally and via direct geometric contact. Proposed This paper proposes that neutrinos are ghost waves: fermionic geometric configurations (= 4 r, spin-1/2) without a topological charge hook in the electric weave. Following Bohr's methodology with hydrogen, we take neutron decay as the paradigmatic case for understanding neutrino ontology. Speculative The ``weak interaction'' is reinterpreted as energetic reorganization of collective quantum states, not a separate fundamental force. Speculative Neutrinos are their own antiparticles (Majorana fermions) because, lacking a topological charge hook, their geometric configuration is identical for both propagation directions. Proposed Four falsifiable predictions are outlined: (1) entanglement correlations between decay products, (2) neutrinoless double beta decay should be observed, (3) coherent neutrino scattering should show geometry-dependent cross-sections, and (4) neutrino mass should correlate with local gravitational potential. This framework does not claim to solve the neutrino problem definitively; it offers a geometrically coherent alternative that treats neutrinos as the same ontological challenge for all theoretical frameworks.
