Observational note examines interference between two particle-like states, suggesting implications for quantum statistics.
Observational note (thought-experiment style; not a proof or claim paper). A sequel to the preceding note, which defined a single particle-like state as a phase-bearing local mode on the subjective geometry S^4(R_U) with spread W_a = 2 R_a and deferred the multi-particle case. Here we treat the minimal case: two particle-like states with the same spread phase, on a closed one-dimensional relational setting (period-1 phase line, a single great circle of S^4). Representing each particle as a rectangular standing wave (odd harmonics only), the n-th harmonic amplitude of the superposition is A_n = (2/n) cos(n pi f), where f is the relative position in fundamental wavelengths, and the total squared norm (energy-like quantity) is the triangle wave E(f) = (pi^2/4)(1-2f) for 0 <= f <= 1/2 (the autocorrelation of a square wave). Within the continuous f, discrete feature points appear: fusion (f=0), orthogonality / independent coexistence (f=1/4), and complete cancellation (f=1/2). Depending on whether the superposition is symmetrized or antisymmetrized, complete overlap (f=0) is allowed (boson-like) or makes the field vanish, i.e. exclusive (fermion-like). For unequal frequencies, interference arises only from shared odd harmonics (the irreducible ratio r/s with both r,s odd, i.e. matching 2-adic valuation); without sharing, interference vanishes and placement is free. All results are presented as observations of structural correspondence (with standing-wave quantization and the exchange symmetry of quantum statistics); no derivation of quantum statistics or the spin-statistics theorem is claimed. Notably the existence of the three feature points is universal to any half-wave-antisymmetric (odd-harmonic) profile, while only the linear (triangle-wave) envelope is specific to the square-wave (1/n) choice.
