Abstract

In September 1820, at the University of Copenhagen, Professor Ørsted's wire accidentally deflected a magnetic needle. This perturbation unveiled electromagnetic unification yet planted physics' deepest enigma: what transmits force across the void? Maxwell wove fields with partial differentials, Einstein reshaped spacetime via light-speed constancy, Feynman depicted interactions via virtual photons. Yet, gazing at electron cloud fluctuations or CMB anisotropy, a core question persists: what ontology underlies these structures? This book concludes the four-volume Energy Quantum Theory (EQT) epic. Prior volumes unified strong/weak forces, reconstructed gravity, tamed dark universe. Now, electromagnetism—physics' most precise (QED 10^{-12}), widespread (chips to telescopes), consistent (Maxwell 160 years). Precision ≠ profundity, consistency ≠ truth. Goal: not revise theories, but answer century-old query—under unified ontology, electromagnetic dynamical origin? 1. Ontological Revolution: Attributes to Processes Physics views charge/mass as intrinsic, fields basic. EQT revolution: all emerge from energy quantum density \rho(\mathbf{r}, t). Classical/QED success projects master equation in EM band (f \in [10^{15},10^{20}] Hz): \partial \rho_f / \partial t = k(f)\rho_f^2 - D(f)\nabla^2 \rho_f - \Gamma(f)\rho_f + S(f) + \mathcal{N}(f) k(f)\propto f^2, D(f)\propto f^{-1}, \Gamma(f)\propto f. Four interpretations: 1.1 Charge: Gradient Freezing Topology Not attribute, but CMB…
