This paper proposes a quantum object–field response framework for organizing wave–particle duality. The framework distinguishes a quantum object from the response structure it induces in an experimental arrangement. A quantum object is described as entering an effective source structure, inducing a field response, producing an effective detection response, and giving rise to a normalized probability distribution and local detection records. In this layered structure, wave-like behavior is associated with propagation, superposition, coherence, and phase relations in the induced field response, while particle-like behavior is associated with localized detection records. The framework is developed and tested in a single-quantum-object double-slit computable sector. Using a Gaussian source structure, rectangular double-slit apertures, a Fresnel propagation kernel, and a normalized Born-type probability mapping, the paper constructs coherent and incoherent detection distributions, interference-term decompositions, coherence-decay behavior, phase-difference scans, Fraunhofer far-field comparisons, parameter scans, detector-resolution effects, grid-convergence checks, and single-slit limit tests. The numerical results show that the proposed framework gives a clear and computable object–response–probability chain for the double-slit setting, reproduces the standard double-slit interference structure, and remains internally consistent across the numerical checks performed.
