The Manassero Equation: A Deterministic Derivation of the Speed of Light and Universal Phase Constants

This research presents a groundbreaking derivation of the universal constant $c$ through the Manassero Conjugate State Framework. While standard physics treats the speed of light as an axiomatic limit, this paper demonstrates that $c$ is the emergent result of a Zero-Degradation Phase Equilibrium within the quantum vacuum. Using the Conjugate State Equation, we model the vacuum as a medium of perfect coupling ($a=1$) and null entropy ($D=0$). Under these conditions, the propagation of electromagnetic information is revealed as the maximum 'Phase Processing Speed' of the universe. This framework not only reconciles Maxwell’s equations with a deterministic internal-state model but also provides a scalable formula to calculate phase-velocity shifts in varying material densities. This work offers a new path for understanding the fabric of spacetime as a dynamic energy-phase interface. Manassero, S. hector . (2025).
