Article 6: Atomic Absorption and Emission as Vortex Mode Coupling: Photon–Electron Interaction, Emergent Bohr Quantisation, and Chemical Bonding as Amplitude Superposition in the PEW Framework

The Primordial Energy Wave (PEW) framework models all physical entities as topological vortex configurations of a single complex scalar field Ψ = ÷exp(iθ). The present article establishes that the complete cycle of atomic physics — photon absorption by an electron, electron binding to a proton, and photon emission — arises from a single mechanism: the coupling of amplitude profiles à between adjacent PEW vortices, without additional postulates.A photon is a free propagating fluctuation of the phase field θ (massless, Hopf invariant zero). It is guided toward the electron vortex by the geodesic curvature of the electron's amplitude field Ã_e, with an effective gate cross-section σ = α_em·λ² where α_em =…
