Parasitic Phase Conversion (PPC): Rethinking High-Energy Light

How Pattern Field Theory Revises Einstein’s View of Spacetime

Last updated: 2025-10-04

Pattern Field Theory (PFT™) introduces Parasitic Phase Conversion (PPC) to explain why some detections classified as high-energy radiation do not originate as such. PPC reframes certain gamma-like signatures, cosmic-ray-adjacent events, and long-distance high-frequency readings as transit-damaged light rather than native gamma emission.

Core Insight

Radiation detected as high-energy gamma may not have been born gamma. Ordinary stellar light can traverse zones of intense radiation density or coherence turbulence; parasitic resonance strips and distorts its structural phase, yielding arrivals that mimic gamma bands while being phase-eroded light.

Mechanism

The PPC mechanism in PFT terms:

ψ′ = ψ₀ − ∑ (℘ₐ · ψ₀)

Where:

  • ψ₀ — original emitted phase pattern (e.g., stellar optical)
  • ℘ₐ — parasitic field interaction vector(s) along the path
  • ψ′ — corrupted/eroded phase signature at detection

The result is an arrival spectrum with high-frequency dominance that reflects phase theft, not native high-energy emission.

Key Observational Consequences

Phenomenon Standard View PFT Reinterpretation via PPC
Gamma bursts without visible supernova Hidden or obscured high-energy event Ordinary light phase-eroded by parasitic field en route
Gamma spikes near clusters or filaments Dark matter or BH interaction Structural light damage in dense coherence regions
Missing thermal tails or odd timing Detector systematics or unknown physics Transit-induced phase theft masking native source traits

Implications for Astrophysics

  • Not all gamma is gamma: Some high-energy readings may be misclassified, originating as lower-energy light.
  • Phantom-source resolution: Gamma detections lacking correlated optical or IR may be PPC artifacts.
  • Spectral forensics: Residual polarization or phase traces of ψ₀ can survive in ψ′ and be recoverable.

Testable Predictions

  • Residual structure: PPC events should show weak, source-typical polarization or phase residues embedded in the apparent gamma band.
  • Path dependence: Correlate anomalies with known high-radiation corridors or lensing/coherence structures; PPC rate should increase with corridor density.
  • Lensing skew: PPC paths exhibit subtle coherence-path translations distinct from standard lensing shear patterns.

PFT Consistency Notes

  • Dimensional conversion (2D ⇄ 3D): Light is a conversion process; PPC damages the instruction chain rather than requiring new particle production in transit.
  • Gravitational refraction: Lattice node spacing and permission gradients determine coherence paths; PPC superposes with this routing.
  • ΛΦ coupling and c: The observed invariance of c holds; PPC modifies phase integrity, not the coherence constant.

Conclusion

Parasitic Phase Conversion explains how ordinary light can masquerade as high-energy radiation after coherence theft in transit. This supports PFT’s view that radiation signatures reflect recursive phase dynamics on an information-bearing field.
