The framework
The
theory.
A deterministic, phase based account of physics. The Born rule, geometry, and the spectrum of forces fall out of a single primitive.
Act I
The primitive.
Δϕ
PDT proposes one new object: the differential of phase between coupled oscillators. Not an amplitude. Not a probability. A geometric quantity that records how two oscillators are out of step.
From this single primitive the framework reconstructs the kinematic and dynamical scaffolding that the standard model assumes. Hilbert space appears as an effective bookkeeping for ensembles. Distance and curvature appear as patterns in how phase resolves. Probability is recovered as a counting statement, not a postulate.
The case is laid out in PTG I. The motivation, the constraints, and the consequences are spelled out in plain prose first, formal definitions second.
Act II
The dynamics.
∇Δϕ
Once the primitive exists, the dynamics are forced. Gradients of the phase differential generate the analogues of momentum, force, and curvature. There is no room to add structure by hand.
In PTG III these dynamics are derived from first principles. The effective Lagrangian that drops out in QM IV recovers Yukawa, Coulomb, and gravitational-like forces from one source propagator.
The Born rule then appears as ensemble statistics over phase resolutions, derived rather than assumed. That derivation is the spine of QM II.
Act III
The falsifiability.
∮
A theory of physics that cannot be killed is not a theory of physics. PDT commits to three explicit phenomenological signatures, all currently within reach of existing precision experiments.
QM V lists them in detail. A sub-percent coherence floor in matter wave interferometry. A scale-specific Yukawa-range deviation. A parity-violating phase in entangled photon decoherence.
Absence of any one at the precision currently available, and the framework is wrong. We treat that as the price of admission.
