Electricity is traditionally modeled as the movement of charge carriers through conductive media. In the MID/QC framework, this interpretation is replaced with a substrate‑first model in which electrical behavior emerges from coherence‑guided routing within the quantized substrate. Substrate Level Rerouting formalizes electricity as a coherence‑gradient phenomenon rather than a charge‑flow mechanism, providing a unified explanation for conduction, resistance, switching, and computational energy limits. This paper establishes the foundational architecture for substrate‑native electrical modeling and anchors the Applied Substrate Series.
Chadwick Rasque (Mon,) studied this question.
