We introduce Quantum Path Mechanics (QPM), a novel framework for describing quantum particle dynamics based on quantitance Q, a complex-valued quantity characterizing the transmissibility and phase response of a quantum along a given path. Unlike traditional wavefunction-based formulations, QPM describes free propagation, tunneling, interference, dissipation, and observation entirely through path-based algebra. Applications include neutrino transparency, quark confinement, quantum interference, and cosmological phenomena such as Olbers' paradox. This submission includes the full theoretical framework, derivation of the quantum path Lagrangian, illustrative examples, and potential experimental predictions.
