A new theory on energy dispersion, stable resonances and self-organization.
Join creating physics intuitively from a photon quantum entanglement up to the universes filaments.
This site is a proposal for a Roton Resonance Framework, a model and reflection on quantum physics and how our world is constructed — independent of well established mathematical and physical models. We present a completely new physical view that offers simple and intuitive explanations for how the world works — from tiny electrons, quarks, and atoms to galaxies and the entire universe.
Join us into this conceptual universe of wonderfully and intuitively constructed ideas, particles and fundamental revelations.

The Rotonal Quantum Model (RQM) proposes that matter, interaction, and stability arise not from point particles or abstract fields, but from structured resonances of rotation embedded in space itself. Instead of treating observed quantum states as irreducible, RQM decomposes them into geometrically and axially separable resonance modes that can couple, lock, and reorganize across scales. In this view, forces are not exchanged entities but emergent consequences of phase alignment, misalignment, and resonance saturation. Complex multi-dimensional eigenstates are thus reinterpreted as composite resonance configurations with internal degrees of freedom that remain physically interpretable. This reframing offers a unified language for mass, binding, charge distribution, and interaction strength without invoking fundamentally distinct force carriers. For the reader, RQM invites a shift in perspective: from asking what particles are, to asking how stable resonant structures manage to exist at all.
At the most fundamental level, physical reality is structured by rotation. Light, energy, and matter emerge from nested rotations and their mutual resonances, forming stable, self-sustaining patterns within a dynamic background field (spacetime or quantum vacuum). What we observe as particles are localized, long-lived resonance configurations rather than isolated objects.
In short: Matter is self-trapped light-like energy confined into rotating, resonant loops within an oscillating energy-density field.
Beneath all observable phenomena lies an underlying meta-field, termed the LEDO-Field, which supports resonances and stable rotating entities. Light, electrons, and bosons are not separate substances but distinct, scale-dependent resonance states of this field, characterized by frequency, orientation, amplitude, and spatial extent. Conventional physical fields arise as mathematical projections of LEDO-Field dynamics when restricted to a specific observational scale. Resonant coupling within the LEDO-Field induces attraction between all self-resonant entities in a homologous manner, independent of their classification. Rotating structures establish directed resonance potentials that define how and where they can couple into the universal field; this coupling capacity manifests physically as inertia. The separate field that mediates resonance-induced torque and governs rotational response is introduced as the Inertial Gyroscopic Tensor (IGT) field.
All stable rotations constitute energy. Light, electrons, and matter are therefore different manifestations of rotating energy, organized within a hierarchical resonance structure. Why, then, does nature appear quantized, with energy and momentum occurring only in discrete steps? Aside from freely propagating light, the world itself is not fundamentally quantized; rather, structure requires a shared base frequency that enables coherent resonance. Transitions between resonant configurations (such as electronic orbitals) therefore occur only at specific energy differences. Entities lacking any resonant overlap with this shared frequency spectrum remain effectively non-interacting and invisible to our world.
Every stable rotation of energy constitutes an entity, which may in turn act as the basis for higher-order rotations. Such scale-relative entities are referred to as Rotons. Beginning with a fundamental soliton (a self-sustaining rotating oscillation within the LEDO-Field) the universe organizes itself hierarchically: from light to electrons, from quon-like structures to atoms, from planets to solar systems, and onward to galaxies and the large-scale Filament-Clustersread↗ of the cosmos.
Rotons are defined as stable, self-sustained rotations of energy, typically represented as circular or planar motion. External influences may introduce wobble or precession, yet stability is maintained as long as the trajectory remains closed and continuously differentiable. While Rotons can in principle follow arbitrary three-dimensional paths, their defining property is autonomous persistence.
In contrast, Resonons are not self-sustained. They arise when resonance channels guide energy into externally induced trajectories and remain stable only through continuous coupling to surrounding Rotons or other Resonons. Such entities persist through mutual in-weaving of resonance and play a central role in the formation of extended structures, such as valence-electron configurations. For tractability, the RQM models complex multi-dimensional oscillatory structures were possible as superpositions of a small number of axially distinct planar rotations sharing a common center.
In the RQM, forces are not exchanged entities but emergent effects of phase alignment, detuning, and saturation between rotational resonance modes. What appears as attraction or repulsion is the system’s tendency to reduce resonance mismatch and redistribute energy density toward dynamically stable configurations.

Rotational energy (a Roton) generates directed torque within a resonance field of space–time. When multiple rotating systems are present, they couple through mutual resonances, forming resonance channels that mediate interaction. Similar rotating systems—matched in scale, frequency, orientation, and phase—tend to align, producing effective attraction. Perfect axial alignment creates an entangled pair, in which attraction depends only on resistance to acceleration or phase change, not on distance. Un-coupled random orientations distribute resonance influence isotropically, yielding an effective $1/r^2$ behavior. In this sense, forces arise from the integrated rotational moments induced by surrounding resonance potentials, forming a tensor-like field acting on each Roton.
All stable rotating entities generate an energy-density pressure in the LEDO-Field, corresponding to the superposition of their emitted resonance modes. At short range, this leads to effective repulsion originating from the rotonal center - at least from outside view. The repulsive behavior arises from local saturation of resonance capacity (energy density), which inhibits further coupling and drives similar structures apart.
This model does not cause any singularities because there is no point-like entity anywhere in the universe. All “things” have size, a length defined by the rotation perimeter. All attractive forces within the spatial range of this rotation lengths are linear or non existent and never reach infinity. In addition, attractive forces get smaller compared to the increasing repulsive force on smaller distances. Simulations read↗ show as a prove of concept a very stable system behavior.
The stability and complexity of matter arise from the fact that attractive forces (rotation resonance) are not homogeneous in all spatial directions. This leads to energy-optimized structures, where the energy density reaches local maxima. At these positions, attractive and repulsive forces cancel each other out (statistically), creating (conditionally) stable configurations. Energy density optimizations happen based on natural fluctuations and waves (energy density changes) in the meta-field.
Rotational resonances exhibit distinct axial and spatial dependencies. (1) The dominant coupling is the co-axial resonance, representing a distance-independent (entangled) alignment effect that arises when rotational axes coincide. (2) For some resonances (e.g electrons), parallel-axial resonances emerge between rotations whose axes remain aligned but spatially separated, producing distance-keeping forces (phase locking) that scale approximately as $1/d$. This results in favored resonating distances and frequencies. (3) With randomly changing orientations (no axial alignments), isotropic resonance follows, contributing an attractive component in all spatial directions with a characteristic decay of $1/d^2$. (4) Finally, this hierarchy is balanced by a repulsive term associated with the gradient of the local energy density, decaying as $1/d^3$. These relations hold for Rotons of comparable intrinsic parameters such as size, frequency, or rotational phase.
Axial resonances between Rotons establish instantaneously, without distance-dependent attenuation, in a manner analogous to quantum entanglement. However, changes in local manifestations — such as the motion of stable resonances — are limited. These limits arise from angular tolerances and from the finite response of Rotons to applied resonance forces. Stable oscillatory structures possess rotonal inertia, originating both from stored rotational energy and from the recoil associated with axis changes such as tilt or precession.
As a result, the propagation of energy-density oscillations is not instantaneous but constrained by this inertial response. The effective reaction speed is further shaped by ambient background fluctuations of the LEDO-Field. Rotating entities therefore shift position only probabilistically, continuously exploring configurations of improved energy-density balance. While the LEDO-Field itself fluctuates globally as an oscillatory integral independent of spatial distance, objects gradually settle into rotation axes and locations that correspond to more energetically favorable states.
A photon represents the most elementary form of a Roton, characterized by a single one-dimensional oscillation. It propagates at the speed of light primarily because it can: as long as its rotation axis remains unchanged, no inertial resistance is imposed. At the same time, the photon tends to escape its own localized energy density, driving it toward maximal propagation speed.
Its speed limit does not arise from internal constraints, but from residual coupling to the universe. Even photons experience axial resonance potentials from other photons aligned along their oscillation axis. Although a photon’s phase is unrestricted and adapts instantaneously — preventing stable attraction — transient virtual axis alignments still occur. These fluctuations largely cancel statistically, yet their integration requires finite response time governed by the Inertial Gyroscopic Tensor (IGT) field, inducing a small precessional component. Retaining its relative rotation axis may nevertheless lead to slight changes in propagation direction.
In this sense, a pure photon is a one-dimensional oscillation that would propagate without time dilation, but is weakly forced into a two-dimensional motion, acquiring a minute rotational inertia. Consequently, the speed of light may depend on the integrated background resonance fluctuations of a given region of the universe. Passing near heavy masses, composed of many photon-like components, may therefore induce subtle changes in the photon’s rotation axis or travel direction.
Postulate: A photon is a basic Roton with a single one-dimensional oscillation.
Takeaway: A photon may follow non-linear trajectories without loss of speed, provided its rotation axis remains unchanged.
You might be eager to know int terms of standard physics what the Roton model tells you about the world? This note tries to avoid as much of the roton model terms as possible.
If multiple Rotons come closer and succeed to overcome their energy density pressure they build other stable compounds. In this way photons cluster to packets or start to enter 3D. Intuitively an electron might be a compound of 3 photons rotating in 3 different spatial directions (see Resonon). Even a single Photon might be bent into 3D world creating a stable self-resonant closed loop. Maybe it is also a combination of 3 Loops of electrons. Postulate: An electron is a (elementary) particle built from photons oscillating in 3 dimensional trajectories around a common center. It can build entanglements into 3 spatial directions.
Driven by the current energy density gradients and background fluctuations in the LEDO-Field the world constantly and inevitably “tries” to find optimal distributions of energy. Rotational electron-compounds start to create stable structures resisting the worlds tendency to entropy. Electrons build rotational pairs (e.g. as observed in atoms) that attract each other. Differently layered rotational electron-compounds start to create stable structures resisting the worlds tendency to entropy. Spoiler: Electrons build up nuclei with the purpose to simply hold electrons at their place which attracts entangled electrons into its orbitals.
There are different “Tiers” of Rotonal objects in the world. Depending on how many dimensions their resonance coupling enters.
Time: Time is the resistance of the universe to instant reorientation of a rotonal alignment. Photons experience no time as they could reorient themselves instantly when interacting with matter. The more contained rotonal energy a system has (rotonal inertia) the slower local time gets though (at least from the formulas). Example: Big masses, black holes.
Dark matter was introduced to name a yet unknown force, which modern physics still fails to find. Why? Because dark matter doesn’t exist. Modern physics expects it to be a gravitational force originating from matter. But it actually is a dark energy or rather a dark force. Modern physics has not yet realized that the rotations within a galaxy generates resonances and forces. These forces are missing in current calculations and account for a large portion of the attractive influences, which are mistakenly attributed to atomic-level phenomena like gravitation. According to the Roton model the missing attractive forces are actually caused by rotations at the galactic scale.
We show an alternative Olavian Atom Model. It’s intuitive character is based on attractions of resonating Rotons. Depending on the environment, atoms take different structures and varying energy optima. The Olavian Atom orbitals are closed trajectories taking up the combined resonances of multiple base rotations. The p-orbitals or resonant couplings to s-orbitals of different sizes, e.g. p2 couples to the s1 and s2 shells.
We first focus on the electron orbital representation of atoms. Atoms are an optimization of rotational energies to iteratively reach more energetically optimal rotations in respect to the Roton Model. The most attractive constellations are co-axially entangled (electron-proton-proton-electron) Roton coupling combinations. Furthermore electrons find their places in resonant distances from the center. Further optimizations allow electrons to lock into resonances with multiple other electrons with different rotation radii (a Resonon). An electrons planar Rotonal rotation can start to precess (tilt) to couple with electrons of different shells.
Finding: The standard physics term “excitation” (e.g. of a quark or electron) often translates well to temporal “precession” within the sub-roton states.
Why do bonds between atoms lead to stable molecules? Let’s understand the most attractive binding type and reveal that it is based on electron entanglement and electron trajectory resonances. Even electrons of different atoms can create “Entangled” pairs, while still keeping their entanglement to “their” own protons alive. This again leads to the most attractive bond between two electrons and two protons of different atoms. The radius of valence shells in a molecule are driven by this bonding - and are roughly equal between different elementary atoms.
The electron, one of the most fundamental particles in nature, remains among the least understood. We try to build an electron based on photons traveling on self-resonant loops. The master class, want to try yourself before jumping into the authors visionary proposal? Insight: Electrons build entangled chains keeping their distance and speed in a common direction. For instance when passing along an atom lattice. The protons of the atoms are not expected to disturb them, as the free electrons do not have individual rotonal entanglements to the atom cores.
We will show how protons can be structured with Rotons such that we can describe the observed Electron-Proton attraction. Insights: Leptons (Protons and electrons) are ‘cages’ that keep electrons stable in space and orientation. Such a cage shell is called Proton when it contains an electron locked in space and phase.
The Nucleus of an atom consists of Protons and Neutrons, as they say. It has this task: Provide maximal attraction for the resonant orbital electron trajectories. So the proton or more precisely the co-electron in the nucleus needs special geometrical freedom to provide the rotating electron with the constant possibility to share their axis. The nucleus shows nearly symmetric compound-objects to hold lepton(s). A structure that confines the protons “charge” (co-axially anti-parallel to electron). This allows the entangled electrons location to rotate freely and remain entangled. completely independent of the other protons and neutrons on the nucleon. All nuclei contain one or two such Leptons.
We well see interesting predictions regarding the ratio of protons and electrons in different atoms and isotopes.
The atom core has to allow a full symmetric rotation of two orbital electrons. Paired electrons need a co-axial rotation around a central nucleus. This needs a linear Electron-“Proton”-“Proton”-Electron coupling. Each electron couples individually to its own proton. So the linear Proton-Proton object in the atom core needs to be able to freely rotate virtually in all spatial directions. A symmetric compound is needed to fulfills this task. A compound, which hosts 2 “charged” particles which can entangle with 2 orbital electrons.
Why shall a huge proton have the exact same charge as a point-like electron? Well, now you know: it does not. Protons, Nucleons and Alpha-Particles are only heavy containers which keep electrons/positrons in place so they can entangle with the free rotating electrons in the orbitals. A container which holds charges in place via energy density repulsion still allowing them to rotate within the Alpha-Particles shell.
The alpha-particle is not simply an energetically favorable state - as simply observed and proclaimed by standard physics. It serves a specific purpose. It is a pre-requisite to enable electron-pairs to rotate around their entangled nuclei. The Alpha-particle is a necessity and prediction of the Roton-model. Fortunately it has already been discovered, named and nearly seen as an own particle with high symmetry even in standard and quantum physics. But with no glimpse of what is shall be good for.
We proudly present an (outdated but nice) illustration of an Olavian version of the Alpha-Particle. We choose a symmetric constellation of 4 Nuclei with 4 Sonons (3 Quarks) and 2 Pole-Caps conveying the charge itself. The so called Alpha Particle is a special combination of 2 electrons or positrons (if you prefer) confined in a cage built of the Quons (quarks) from 2 Protons and 2 Neutrons (equal to 18-20 Inter-Resonant quons). This $\alpha$ particle is the predominant basic building block of atom nuclei.
The alpha-particle keeps the electrons in line and holds them together so they can keep a more stable distance and resonance. This allows to attract free electrons even closer. The question also arises, why atoms seem to be built from Alpha-Particles - 2 Alpha-Particles use more space then 4 Deuterium-Cores. Answer: Because an $\Alpha$ two internal charges (e+) can rotate freely, and 2 rotating Deuterium-Cores use more space - if they could ever rotate as fast around themselves. Only one single unpaired valence-electron will entangle to single proton, deuterium or tritium nuclei. So stable atom cores are not expected to have more than one isolated proton P or deuterium D nucleus.
This chapter is to simulate what happens if you throw an electron at a nucleus. Result: Well, you need to aim really good, otherwise it simply flies through.
This chapter is to prove, that the Olavian Atom model can predict or at least explain the stable and unstable isotopes.
We will demonstrate that quantum entanglement — particularly of photons and electrons — is a crucial factor in explaining why atomic nuclei hold together, and specifically why protons and electrons attract each other within atoms. To further explain certain phenomena with long-distance entanglement, we introduce the concept of bitemporal causality read↗: quanta are entangled because they always have been and ever will be entangled (within their lifespan). Both entangled twins share and remember their bi-directional future and past.
For something to be observable by humans, it must interact with something humans can detect — such as light. This holds at least in the scales at which light can interact with Rotons the span of our atoms. However, on the scale of quarks and electrons, there is very little left which can be used to observe. We do not have anything even smaller to throw around. Observation always involves interaction. On this scale, every interaction destroys some of the original state. Thus, we can never measure the full state but only a statistical effect over many different measurements. This might lead to the conclusion that the even smaller components no longer interact with us directly. So we will never be able to directly “observe” any substructures. Still we can hope for the ability to trigger lower-level rotons to react via rotonal resistance (inertia) by manipulating and observing minimal state changes of higher level rotons and their coupling.
Decoherence of an entanglement denotes the breakdown of resonance alignment. Decoherence corresponds to the loss of phase-locked resonance channels due to uncontrolled coupling to external degrees of freedom. If a measurement is done on an entangled or hierarchical quantum, the full entanglement is destroyed. This might also mean, that these two quanta were never — and will never be — fully entangled. Two rotating entities with the exact same mode on a common rotation axis will be and remain entangled, due to increased resonances in axial direction. With this entanglement, small disturbances in orientation might even be stabilized. The entanglement breaks up if one quantum is forced out of its stable rotation axis strong enough. From this point on, entanglement will vanish, if the disturbance was too high. A disturbance on one of the entangled twins, might lead to a similar disturbance in the other twin.
How do we define time? It is fundamentally based on the rotation speed of electrons and photons (light). If, for any reason, an electron “chooses” to rotate more slowly, then the electrons time for a virtual global observer passes more slowly — and the apple decays more slowly. Would we “perceive” this slow-down? Time is not a universally uniform “thing”. If environmental conditions force an electron to slow its relative rotation, then time — as we perceive it — passes more slowly. There is no completely unique shared concept of time in the universe. As far as we can perceive and measure, time is a local aspect.
The wavelength/frequency of a photon can have any size you like. But an electron and atoms have an arbitrary size not related to any other natural constants. Why is that? Why does an electron have the size it has? Here is a simple explanation: An electron has its size, because all other electrons have the same size. The size alignment is given be the oscillations and resonances in the LEDO-Field of the universe. For an electron it’s simply energetically favorable to take the same size as the other electrons. This implies theoretically, that electrons at the other end of the universe do not necessarily have the exact same size as we know them. But as soon as resonances spread out and overlap, they would most likely adjust to a common resonance in our observable part of the universe.
Having said that reminds us about how to measure length. So if the basis of length is the size of e.g. a hydrogen atom, then yes, atoms have the same size in the whole universe. If the basis for length though is time (e.g. speed of light c) which is distance during a given time which again is a rotation duration of an electron in space well … I’d go with the egg not the chicken. If you define and measure the width of an electron by the circumference of an electron (time), well then all electrons have the same size - everywhere. So physics can actually not necessarily force neither local time nor local space to be uniform, linear or comparable in the whole universe.
Rotating entities create a directed resonance potential at which span (size, frequency) they can couple into the universal resonance-field. This will be described as inertia.
On basis of the Roton model, Inertia would be: resistance of a body to acceleration induced by another body. Or more precisely the resistance to change of rotation axis induced by LEDO-field resonances. Overall it is simply the sum of all energy placement, rotational attributes, attractions and temporal changes thereof between the two objects. And this all in a dynamic self-looped context. This might imply though, that a body has no universal inertia, but an inertia that depends on the source object. Acceleration depends on the sub-structure and sub-behavior of both objects. So the “weight” of the atoms listed in the periodic system might depend on the atomic composition of (e.g.) the earth. So in the optimal case, you as a reader already have a few experiments in mind to disprove this concept - maybe measure atoms on the moon?
Think of a Roton as a spring along its diametrical span. If a force starts to drag on one Sub-Particle, this will lead to some tension in the spring in either direction. Leading to squeezing, wobbling and precession of the rotonal path. This tension remains as long as the force applies. So any change of direction or force leads to a counter-force between the Twin and Twon roton. A force on the level of an atom span (gravity) will initially only influence the atom-span roton. But if that force changes, the Sub-Rotons need to adjust too. So they react on the first-derivative of the applied force (force change). This can be propagated downwards to the even smaller Sub-Rotons. In addition, this is also propagated upwards to the environment in the form of further resonances or temperature effects. The higher level environment reacts on it as an integral over the sub-states (e.g. as in a microwave oven).
Galaxies when modeled as Rotons build stable flowing and pulsing structures. These are also known as filaments.
Why does an atom have the size it has today? And why do atoms take stable orbitals at the distance the have today? This is caused by a background fluctuation which have some maximum resonances in the spatial size of atoms. This LEDO-Field fluctuation on atom level can actually be confirmed indirectly via a measurable uniform radiation, originating from objects from an earlier time in the universe. Evidence comes from the existence of a cosmic microwave background (CMB) read↗ matching to the radiation emitted by objects the size magnitude of an atom.
Big masses lead photons into curved paths. Instead of bending space and time to explain this effect, the Roton-Model explains this quite naturally with residual attractive resonances. Even though a photons rotation is purely planar, random background fluctuations still expose it to minimal inertia. Is there any place where field fluctuations cease entirely? You could imagine the infinity of the universe being like the singularity of a black hole, inverted and point-mirrored. The closer you get the slower you become, atomar processes slow down, time starts to pass slower and slower. You will never reach the center or in this case infinity. The fade out of fluctuations and asymmetric alignment of resonance potentials at this rotonal scale prevents any further motion. The universe is the final Roton caught in self-resonance, from where nothing will ever escape.
With all these teasers, you are invited to dive into the details presented on this website as the “Roton Quantum Model” to see how easily this model explains complex behavior — even in areas where modern standard physics has yet to provide answers.
