Praline Load Minimization Theory (PLMT):  Elementary Particles as Individual-Flow Duality under Load Minimization — A Symbiotic Perspective on Wave-Particle Duality —

The Praline Load Minimization Theory (PLMT) originates from the simple philosophical observation that physical laws are singular, and thus apparent diversity tends to converge under optimization. We propose that elementary particles embody an inseparable individual-flow duality: an individual aspect that maintains localized coherence (particle-like behavior) and a flow aspect that enables delocalized interconnection (wave-like behavior). These two aspects operate as a coupled system that minimizes a variational “load,” analogous to free energy minimization in self-organizing systems. Drawing on coupled oscillator models and concepts from quantum field theory, we argue that wave-particle duality emerges naturally as a load-minimization process. This framework is scale-invariant, connecting microscopic quantum phenomena with macroscopic symbiotic behaviors observed in biological synchronization and human creative processes. The theory offers a unified, symbiotic view of reality without invoking composite nuclear structures.
