Paper V Equilibrium Mechanics - Reinterpreting Newton and the Double-Slit

This paper extends the "Law of Self-Restoration" introduced in Paper IV to both classical and quantum physics. We propose that Isaac Newton's Three Laws of Motion are the macroscopic manifestation of a single principle: systems act to restore equilibrium when an imbalance is introduced. In this view, Force is not a cause but the measure of an ongoing restoration process. We further apply this principle to the quantum Double-Slit Experiment. We argue that "wave-particle duality" is not a paradox, but the result of two different equilibrium states. The unobserved wave state represents maximum path-equilibrium. The act of measurement introduces an imbalance, forcing the system to restore itself into a single, definite particle state. Thus, Equilibrium Mechanics provides a single framework to explain motion from falling apples to electron behavior.
