- Abstract
A previous conceptual work, called the Cordus conjecture, has proposed a nonlocal hid-den-variable (NLHV) design for the photon, and thereby proposed a solution to photon entanglement and wave-particle duality. This paper applies a systems design approach to extend the theory to mat-ter, specifically to differentiate between the matter and antimatter species. This concept rests on two premises: that particules have span (physical separation between reactive ends); and that their exter-nally emitted discrete forces have an energization sequence. Specific hidden-variable models are proposed for the electron, positron, and proton. This concept provides a better explanation of the dif-ference between matter and antimatter in ways that make physical sense. It also provides founda-tional concepts from which new solutions to other problems, like annihilation and baryogenesis, can be envisaged. The Cordus theory goes beyond conventional NLHV solutions, such as the de Broglie-Bohm model, by offering a solution not only for the inner contents of a particle, the hidden-variables, but also predicting how its discrete fields operate. This theory provides a physically natu-ral explanation for spin, handedness, chirality, and related directional attributes of particles, which are otherwise only abstract concepts in quantum mechanics. The theory also explains parity viola-tion, and why the photon does not have an antiparticle. This work makes a conceptual contribution of presenting a new concept of handedness and the matter-antimatter species differentiation. It demonstrates the potential of hidden-variable designs to provide solutions of high explanatory power.
