# Short Research Background Independent researcher, writer, and advisor, based in New York City. Licenciatura in Physics, Universidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela). Background in interferometry and interference-based measurement. Current research recovers electromagnetism, quantum dynamics, inertial mass, and relativistic kinematics from continuity and source-free energy flow. A recent extension derives refraction from coherent superposition of free electromagnetic fields — the theoretical ground for the present experimental proposal. The proposal tests whether a bright Mach-Zehnder fringe exhibits a dielectric-like loading under constructive interference, via refraction at a glass boundary (binary TIR discriminator near $\theta_c\approx 48.6^\circ$) or via time-of-flight. ## Selected Publications - [Light Speed as an Emergent Property of Electromagnetic Superposition](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Light%20Speed%20as%20an%20Emergent%20Property%20of%20Electromagnetic%20Superposition/10.5281/zenodo.18396637/) - [The Maxwell Universe Research Program](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/The%20Maxwell%20Universe%20Research%20Program/10.5281/zenodo.18274175/) - [Maxwell Electromagnetism as the Minimal Dynamics of Divergence-Free Energy Flow](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Maxwell%20Electromagnetism%20as%20the%20Minimal%20Dynamics%20of%20Divergence-Free%20Energy%20Flow/10.5281/zenodo.18264435/) - [Defining Electromagnetic Fields from Continuity and Divergence-Free Structure](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Defining%20Electromagnetic%20Fields%20from%20Continuity%20and%20Divergence-Free%20Structure/10.5281/zenodo.18269184/) - [Deriving the Schroedinger Equation from Source-Free Maxwell Dynamics](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Deriving%20the%20Schr%C3%B6dinger%20Equation%20from%20Source-Free%20Maxwell%20Dynamics/10.5281/zenodo.18316984/) - [Geometric Inertia: Mass as Trapped Energy](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Geometric%20Inertia%20-%20Mass%20as%20Trapped%20Energy/10.5281/zenodo.18249230/) - [Curved Propagation vs. Curved Space](https://writing.preferredframe.com/prints/Curved%20Propagation%20vs.%20Curved%20Space/10.5281/zenodo.18445575/) ## Links - LinkedIn: - about.me: - ResearchGate: - Writing:
