Having established the transition from ontology to physics, the theory now approaches the point at which abstract relations first appear as concrete physical phenomena. The focus shifts from the general mechanisms behind manifestation to the fundamental structures that carry and convey the physical reality as we know it.

The points that follow examine the relationship between understanding and qualia, the origin of the electromagnetic wave, the role of the photon as the first stable manifestation of relational structure, and the special position of light in the relationship between KNOWING and manifest experience. The section culminates in the question of the origin of the fine-structure constant and its role as a stabilisation condition for electromagnetic manifestation.

This is thus the theory’s first direct encounter with modern physics at the particle and field level. Here an attempt is made to show how electromagnetism, photons and the fine-structure constant can be understood as manifestations of the same relational principles previously developed through BEING, the Experience Circle, emergence and Attractor Dynamics. The most fundamental phenomena of physics do not appear as separate quantities, but as concrete expressions of the same underlying mechanism that the theory has built up from the first point.
