The mechanical origin of quantization
RSI explains quantization as the finite yield strength of the medium, with Planck's constant as the energy of one inversion pulse.
Quantization means energy comes in fixed, indivisible amounts. Standard quantum mechanics treats this as an observed rule without a stated mechanical cause. RSI attributes it to the 0.73 N universal tension, which acts as a break-over point. Because the medium has a finite yield strength, energy cannot invert into matter in endlessly fine gradients. It must click.
Planck's constant, h, is redefined as the Energy per Inversion Pulse: the work needed to trip the tension and turn smooth flow into a structured, three-dimensional vibration. The Eternal Consonance beats at the Planck frequency, about 10⁴³ Hz. A wave's energy is h times f, the number of inversion pulses it imposes on the medium each second, and the Planck frequency is the ceiling on that rate.
Stability adds a further lock. A knot must complete a full 720-degree rotation to hold against the Universal Mechanical Clamp. A wave carrying less than one quantum, h times its frequency, is zipped back into the Rest-State. Electrons leap between orbits because the medium supports only consonant harmonics.
