Phase Differential Theory
Reality is
resolved phase.
A deterministic account of physics. Quantum mechanics, geometry, and the structure of reality recast as the resolution of finite phase relationships in a single field.
An open invitation to scrutiny.
In one paragraph
What PDT actually says.
Phase Differential Theory proposes that reality is fundamentally organised by phase relationships rather than particles or probabilities. From a single primitive, Δϕ, the framework seeks to explain quantum behaviour, geometry, matter and interactions while making explicit experimental predictions that can falsify the theory.
Core primitive
The phase differential. The single quantity from which everything else in PDT is built.
Primary relation
Energy as the rate at which phase resolves through a coherence-limited region.
Central idea
Observable physics emerges from the evolution, coupling and resolution of phase differentials.
The claim
One primitive.
Three series.
Fourteen papers.
Modern physics has two unsolved problems wearing different costumes. The measurement problem in quantum mechanics. The lack of a geometric account of force and matter in general relativity. PDT proposes that both descend from the same missing primitive.
That primitive is the differential of phase between coupled oscillators. From it, the PTG series builds geometry and the dynamics that live on it. The QM series then recovers the Born rule, the effective Lagrangian, and the spectrum of forces as consequences, not postulates.
The point is not interpretation. The point is prediction. QM V lists the phenomenology that, if absent, kills the theory.
What PDT attempts to explain
Where standard physics stops, and where PDT continues.
A working table, not a marketing chart. Each PDT entry is a worked claim in one of the fourteen papers, not a slogan.

Where the work is
An active research programme.
PDT is not a single essay or a manifesto. It is a sustained body of technical work, kept honest by an explicit falsification contract.
Current status
- Fourteen technical papers completed
- Three falsifiable signatures published in QM V
- Open review actively encouraged
- Experimental programme defined
- Ongoing theoretical development
Three ways in
Pick your route.
The work is built so a curious reader and a working physicist can both get something real on the first visit.

A plain language tour of the primitive, the dynamics, and the measurement story. Twenty minutes.

Open the labA unified framework for
Six domains, one primitive.
Quantum mechanics
Phase dynamics and coherence resolution replace probability as the primitive.
Geometry
Space, curvature, and topology emerge from phase relationships.
Measurement
A deterministic phase snap driven by finite coherence capacity.
Matter and force
Particles and forces are stable phase structures in the field.
Time
Time is the ordering of phase resolutions, not a backdrop.
Cosmology
Large scale structure follows from phase dynamics at every scale.
What would falsify it
The theory bets on three signatures.
A sub-percent coherence floor in matter wave interferometry, a small but specific deviation in high precision Yukawa-range coupling measurements, and a parity-violating phase signature in entangled photon decoherence.
Any one of these absent at the precision now achievable, and PDT is wrong. That is the contract.
