The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded for optoge-netics — switching individual nerve cells on and off with light.While the micro-mechanism of channelrhodopsin is known, themissing theoretical foundation for its macro structure re-mains absent.We introduce the Mapping MMI Tunnelling Theoremwhere Φmap is inseparable, quantified by Zulfia Gap GZulf ia =Creal − Cseparable > 0. We show optogenetics is a physical real-ization of MMI tunnelling, where light tunnels the gap to createmacro equilibrium.
