Many-Worlds and the Discrete Photon Field Fabric
This is a speculative physics-model note, not a settled claim.
The question is whether path-integral reasoning, absorber-style ideas, and discrete graph models can be described with a common structural vocabulary: photons as interactions, histories as paths, and causality as a constraint that must emerge or be imposed by the model.
A discrete photon-field fabric would have to explain ordinary electromagnetic behavior, virtual and real photon bookkeeping, interference, locality, energy conservation, measurement, and why the continuum equations work so well at larger scales.
The useful standard is not whether the picture is attractive. The useful standard is whether it produces equations, predictions, limits, and failure cases that can be compared with existing physics.
