Chemical Elements as Space-Phase Mode Structures An SP3 Interpretation of Atomic Identity and Periodicity

Chemical elements exhibit well-defined physical and chemical properties, including discrete
atomic numbers, recurring periodic behavior, stable bonding patterns, and characteristic
spectra. In conventional physics, these properties are attributed to arrangements of
fundamental particles governed by abstract quantum rules. In the SP3 framework, matter
and particles are instead understood as conditioned space-phase configurations. This paper
presents a reinterpretation of chemical elements as stable space-phase mode structures,
where atomic number, electron shells, and periodic table groupings arise naturally from
permitted saturation states and angular mode closures of space-phase. The approach
preserves all observed chemical regularities while offering a geometric and physical
explanation for quantization, periodicity, and chemical stability.
