PIUM v1.7 — Phase Interference Universe Model: Core Framework and Extended Interpretive Supplement

PIUM (Phase Interference Universe Model) is a unified ontological interpretive framework in which observable physical phenomena are interpreted as phase and amplitude configurations of a single universal wave field, Φ(x,t). This record contains two files: • PIUM_Core_v1.7.pdf — concise, self-contained main document; recommended first read.• PIUM_Extended_v1.3–v1.7_Supplementary.pdf — full detailed version containing the complete v1.3 core framework and all extensions: v1.4 measurement consistency, v1.5 empirical interfaces, v1.6 explicit wave dynamics and galactic coherence, and v1.7 quantum entanglement. In v1.7, quantum entanglement is interpreted as non-separable phase-correlated closure within the universal wave field, providing an ontological account of non-local correlation without superluminal signaling. PIUM remains strictly an interpretive framework. It introduces no new fundamental dynamics, parameters, particles, forces, or predictive equations. It does not replace the Standard Model, General Relativity, or standard quantum mechanics.
