Measuring Return-Phase Stability in Light: A Framework for Detecting Bidirectionality and Environmental Phase Geometry Effects

The paper "Measuring Return-Phase Stability in Light: A Framework for Detecting Bidirectionality and Environmental Phase Geometry Effects," published by Symfield PBC on September 27, 2025, introduces a groundbreaking Symfield Framework that redefines light as a bidirectional coherence state. It proposes the Return-Phase Stability Index (RPSI) to quantify light’s interaction with environmental phase geometry, measured via a Michelson interferometer. RPSI ranges from 0.10 in clear air to 0.70 in wildfire smoke, revealing a recursive electric field termed the Dark Light substrate, which computes symbolic structures instantaneously, challenging traditional electromagnetic theory.

Unveiling a revolutionary perspective, this research redefines light as a bidirectional coherence state through the Symfield Framework, introducing Return-Phase Stability (RPSI) to measure its dynamic interplay with environmental phase geometry. Empirical data from a Michelson interferometer reveal RPSI ranging from 0.10 in clear air to 0.70 in wildfire smoke, challenging conventional electromagnetic theory with evidence of a deeper Dark Light substrate—a recursive electric field computing symbolic structure instantaneously. Integrated with the Field Integrity and Directional Logic (FIDL) framework, validated by 100% convergence across GPT-4o, Claude, and Grok (FCI 1.974), this work delivers a 15% bit error rate reduction in urban optical communications and transformative AI safety protocols. Amid regulatory shifts (EU AI Act 2025, U.S. innovation focus), it offers a paradigm-shifting template for optics, AI, and interdisciplinary science, positioning light as the creative interface where potential manifests reality.

"The implications challenge foundational assumptions about electromagnetic phenomena, suggesting that observer effects in quantum mechanics may reflect consciousness as field participation rather than measurement collapse."
