4.1 · What Energy Is
Compression, in four bands. Chemical, shell, nuclear and rest mass as four depths of the same thing.
Ready to writeTOE — Part 4
What moves through the medium, and what flows between structures.
All memos in this series are working drafts. Part 4 covers everything that travels or transfers. Maxwell's equations are derived here from the lattice action rather than assumed — and two of the four turn out to be geometric identities rather than physical laws.
Compression, in four bands. Chemical, shell, nuclear and rest mass as four depths of the same thing.
Ready to writeTransverse waves in the lattice. Losslessness stated as a number, and the dispersion cutoff that bounds the spacing.
Ready to writeA topological defect in the lattice. Why every electron matches every other to one part in 1021.
In progressMaxwell derived from a Lagrangian. The part Maxwell built the mechanism for and never wrote down.
Ready to writeNot have not been found — cannot. The magnetic field is a curl, and the divergence of a curl is zero as a matter of geometry.
Ready to writeRefractometry as a direct measurement of the medium, already done for every material since the 1880s.
Ready to writeThe single constant that converts mechanical to electromagnetic, and what Earth's field is as a lattice strain.
Ready to writeEvery memo carries a ledger at its foot — what is derived, what is measured, what is assumed, what remains open, and who reached it first. Claims can be audited where they are made.
