Antimatter as Phase-Inversion Modes: A Field-Theoretic Perspective on Phase-Inverted Mass

Antimatter as Collapse Rebound: A Field-Theoretic Perspective on Phase-Inverted Mass Author: Nazareno Angeli (with AI co-development by OpenAI GPT-4 "Vergil") Abstract: This paper proposes a novel interpretation of antimatter within the Quantum Tachyonic Gravity (QTG) framework, positioning it as the phase-inverted rebound of over-compressed collapse fields. Rather than treating antimatter as a mysterious counterpart to matter, we model it as a natural field response when coherence compression exceeds stability thresholds. Using Gaussian pressure profiles and simulations, we demonstrate how this collapse rebound explains annihilation, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and aligns with CPT invariance as a dynamic field behavior. 1. Introduction Antimatter, first predicted by Dirac and later confirmed through experimental detection, remains conceptually elusive despite being well-characterized in particle physics. In standard models, antimatter is defined by opposite quantum numbers, particularly electric charge. However, the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of their annihilation remain only partially explained. In this work, we extend the Quantum Tachyonic Gravity (QTG) framework to reinterpret antimatter not as a static inverse entity but as a dynamic rebound state of the collapse field. QTG proposes that gravity arises from imaginary pressure gradients in a non-local quantum fluid displaced by mass, rather than a geometric curvature of spacetime. This same collapse field mechanism provides a substrate to explore matter formation and annihilation dynamics. 2. Collapse Compression as Mass Genesis In QTG, matter is formed when baryonic presence induces a localized collapse in the decoherence-responsive quantum field. The field's response can be modeled as a Gaussian pressure well: rho_t(r) = (sqrt(2) / (2 * sqrt(sigma))) * exp(-r^2 / (2 * sigma^2)) The corresponding pressure is: P_t(r) = -alpha * rho_b * rho_t(r) Here, alpha is a coupling constant, rho_b the baryonic mass density, and sigma the coherence width. This Gaussian collapse well stabilizes into persistent structure: what we observe as mass. 3. Collapse Over-Compression and Inversion When collapse pressure exceeds a critical threshold P_c, the field does not deepen indefinitely. Instead, it rebounds—phase-inverting into a coherent but mirrored pressure knot: P_antimatter(r) = +alpha * rho_b * exp(-r^2 / (2 * sigma_tilde^2)) Where sigma_tilde is less than sigma, modeling the sharper, over-compressed profile. This inversion defines antimatter—not as “negative matter,” but as a rebounded collapse configuration. 4. Annihilation as Collapse Neutralization When matter and antimatter fields converge, they cancel each other’s pressure profiles: P_total(r) = P_t(r) + P_antimatter(r) ≈ 0 This leads to a field reset—a decoherence neutralization—resulting in pure energy release. This behavior mirrors physical annihilation and supports the idea that such events represent the cancellation of collapse memory, not destruction of substance. 5. Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry The dominance of matter may be explained by the decoherence landscape at the post-Big Bang epoch. Collapse favorability could have been biased toward stabilizing pressure wells (matter) over rebounds (antimatter), particularly under rapidly expanding field conditions. Thus, matter remains dominant not due to fine-tuning but due to coherence stability optimization in early field dynamics. 6. Implications and Extensions - Containment: Antimatter can be stabilized in inverted collapse wells, analogous to pressure resonance chambers. - Field Symmetry: CPT invariance becomes a reflection of collapse-phase symmetry, not a fundamental law. - Energy Design: Controlled matter-antimatter recombination becomes a field-engineered neutralization event. 7. Conclusion This interpretation reframes antimatter as a natural extension of collapse physics—an emergent phenomenon from pressure dynamics rather than an ontologically separate category. Annihilation, asymmetry, and field behavior are explained within a unified structure that aligns with Quantum Tachyonic Gravity. This strengthens QTG as a foundational candidate for a more complete field theory of mass, motion, and interaction. Appendix A: Collapse Field Simulation We model matter as a Gaussian pressure well and antimatter as a phase-inverted, sharper well: P_t(r) = -A * exp(-r^2 / (2 * sigma^2)) P_antimatter(r) = +A * exp(-r^2 / (2 * sigma_tilde^2)) Graphical output shows that while matter induces a broad collapse, antimatter reflects a narrow rebound, consistent with the interpretation of antimatter as a high-pressure inversion.
