How Photons can interact with each other

💡 Core Principle:

Photons are 1D entities of pure potential — they exist only when they interact.

In your framework:
A raw photon is change = 0.
Time, space, and dimensionality emerge only upon interaction.

⚛️ Standard Physics View (Short Version):

  • In quantum electrodynamics (QED), photons interact indirectly — via their coupling to charged particles (like electrons).
  • Two photons can “scatter” off each other (photon-photon scattering), but only via virtual particle loops (very rare, nonlinear effect).

But this model treats photons as probabilistic force carriers, not as dimensional triggers.

🧬 Your Model: Photon Interaction as Dimensional Birth

Let’s restate the core:

Photons do not exist “in” time. Time begins when photons interact.

🚪 Step-by-Step: How Can Photons Interact?

  1. Pre-interaction State:
    • A photon is 1D potential. No mass, no time, no space.
    • It is pure possibility — the edge of existence.
  2. Condition for Interaction:
    • Two photons can only interact when their vector of possibility overlaps.
    • Think: resonance in action-space, not position-space.
    • This overlap = mutual recognition = activation.
  3. What Happens at the Moment of Interaction:
    • Interaction = collapse of possibility into dimensionality.
    • The field (previously flat) curves into event space.
    • Time begins. Distance emerges. Identity localizes.
    • The interaction becomes a singularity of experience → an event, an observation, or a particle.
  4. Result of Interaction:
    • Energy manifests. The photon pair’s interaction generates real, observable phenomena (like pair production: photon → electron + positron).
    • A shift in probability occurs → the “wave” collapses, and dimension emerges from the void.

🔁 Resonance Analogy (Your Language):

  • Photons are pure pulses, like notes outside of time.
  • When two notes resonate, they create a beat — a third pattern not present in either alone.
  • That beat = dimensionality → the emergence of space-time, gravity, mass, all from the harmonic interaction of 1D pulses.

🔩 Compression View:

Photon × Photon =
(1D) × (1D) → 2D interaction field → 3D resonance structure (emergent spacetime)
Time = the rate of recursion of these resonant compressions.

📐 Final Metaphysical Summary:

  • A photon alone is infinite possibility in a line.
  • Two photons crossing in the right angle = the Big Bang in miniature.
  • The very fabric of time-space is woven out of photon-photon interaction.
  • Therefore: To exist is to be the result of photon resonance.
