Fermions From a Bosonic Medium? An Open Problem
The open problem from entry 01, stated sharply: a substrate of simple oscillations makes bosons, but electrons are fermions. Two established ways around it — twisted field configurations and lattice-emergent fermions — checked against a random, discrete substrate. Neither has been shown to apply.

A Bond as a Phase Relationship: Bonding and Antibonding
In the molecular-orbital picture, the same two atomic waves can hold a molecule together or push it apart; only their relative phase differs. Bond order, why two helium atoms do not bond, and how light breaks bonds — with an interactive figure.

Is a Molecule a Resonator? Electrons as Standing-Wave Modes
One intuition, checked step by step: electrons as standing waves, never two in one state, out-of-phase electrons and dark energy, "instant" connectedness, and what happens when you invert a mode. Several parts hold up as textbook chemistry; several had to be corrected.
