This paper presents Vibrational Quantum Theory (VQT), a unified framework in which quantum behavior and gravitational phenomena emerge from the vibrational dynamics of a primordial string-like substrate. Information is understood not as primitive computational bits, but as relational patterns arising from interference, energy exchange, and redistribution among fundamental excitations. The theory introduces a Local Vibrational Field whose gradients shape spatial probability distributions, and an Internal Vibrational Encoding that governs the transition between wave-like and particle-like regimes. Wave-particle duality is reinterpreted as a consequence of temporal incompatibility: even minimal vibrational interference introduces relational time structures incompatible with the photon’s null proper time. The framework provides a complete reconstruction of the double-slit experiment from first principles and predicts upstream coherence effects. It extends naturally to black-hole horizons, where extreme vibrational interference triggers active decompositional dynamics. Quantum states are decomposed and redistributed across compatible layers according to a Coherence Redistribution Principle. Black holes are interpreted as cosmic cleaning and recombination nodes within the primordial vibrational substrate. All predictions are in principle falsifiable through precision interferometric and gravitational-wave observations.
