Preprint №6: The Photon in HPT: Displacement Waves of Monolith Faces and the Nature of Luminosity

Standard quantum electrodynamics treats the photon as a massless gauge boson. Within the
Higgs Field Tessellation (HPT) framework, we redefine the photon as a transverse displacement
wave propagating through the faces of the 14-faced Kelvin cells. This paper demonstrates that the
velocity of light (c) is the fundamental shear wave velocity of the super-solid Quantum Monolith. We
derive the energy of the photon through the Borisov Invariant (Φ ≈ 5.3146), showing that frequency
is the rate of lattice face oscillation.
