THE ONTOLOGY OF LIGHT Upstream Definition of Optical Propagation

Key Points

The aim is to define light through an upstream ontology, differentiating it from traditional physical interpretations.
Analyzes light as a stable pattern rather than conventional particles or waves.
Contrasts upstream ontology with downstream models of light, such as photons and electromagnetic waves.
Explores the role of gravity in stabilizing light's propagation.
Establishes that light is a relational invariant, which cannot be absorbed locally.
Clarifies how gravitational forces contribute to the structure of optical propagation.
Differentiates between relational and mass-based propagation to avoid confusion with matter waves.

Abstract

This article presents the upstream ontology of light. Light is defined as a propagating relational invariant —a stable, repeatable pattern of reorganization that traverses the relational architecture because local absorption is impossible. The paper contrasts upstream ontology with downstream physical interpretations (photon, electromagnetic wave, radiation), clarifies the role of gravity as a gradient of stabilization, and explainswhy propagation is traversal of relational structure rather than motion through space. The Sun, stellar sources, and artificial light are analyzed as generators of reorganizations that produce propagating invariants. The article also includes a canonical distinction between relational and mass‑based propagation to prevent confusion with matter waves or electrical currents. Other forms of propagation (gravitational, mass‑based, multi‑node) will be discussed in a separate companion paper. Author: Waldemar Superson
