To establish a deterministic, local-realist framework that grounds the Feynman path integral and quantum superposition in continuum mechanics and fluid dynamics.
Modeled the spatial manifold as a continuous, pre-stressed, compressible hydrodynamic lattice with a bulk modulus of approximately 10^113 Pa.
Reinterpreted quantum particles as 3D volumetric localized standing-wave droplets (acoustic solitons) rather than zero-dimensional point masses.
Mapped quantum action, wave-front propagation, and boundary energy conversions using thermodynamic work formulations and the Divergence Theorem.
Feynman's action (S) directly corresponds to volumetric thermodynamic work scaled by the spatial lattice's natural frequency (S = U_v / nu).
Wave-function collapse operates as a deterministic return to hydrostatic equilibrium along the path of least mechanical resistance.
The conversion of volumetric strain energy into surface tension at yield boundaries is mathematically isomorphic to gradient descent optimization in artificial neural networks.
