Abstract
What if the vacuum is not empty—but structured—and what if that structure can be measured? Recent developments in stochastic electrodynamics (SED), boundary-condition physics, and experimentally
verified phenomena such as the Casimir and Aharonov–Bohm effects suggest that
electromagnetic behavior may depend not only on local field amplitudes, but also on how boundaries interact with an underlying spectrum of vacuum modes.
This work presents a boundary-conditioned field framework in which the vacuum is treated as a frequency-resolved population. Three core elements define the model:
• frequency-dependent occupancy probability, Pocc(ω);
• dispersive interaction scale, r(ω);
• boundary response function, Nb(ω).
Together, these elements describe how structured boundaries reshape the participation of vacuum modes, producing measurable effects in impedance, phase, spectral response, and energy density. This is not a claim of new physics. It is a testable engineering framework designed to move vacuum theory into measurable territory.
