Law 3 of the Theophysics framework asserts that Maxwell's equations and the Truth-field propagation equations share identical mathematical structure. They are not analogous — they are isomorphic: the same underlying PDE, the same tensor construction, the same wave dynamics. The only structural difference is a single additional term in the Truth-field system corresponding to the free-will acceptance factor A. This test suite verifies that claim computationally.
Every coefficient, every differential operator, every structural relationship is preserved under this substitution. The equations are the same equation in different physical coordinates. The acceptance factor A is not decoration — it is the free-will term that converts the homogeneous wave equation into a driven wave equation, making the source distribution agent-dependent.
Eight tests across three layers: symbolic algebra, tensor construction, and FDTD numerical simulation.
Starting from the 1D Maxwell wave equation in vacuum, apply the substitution map (E→T, c→λ). The resulting equation is compared term-by-term with the 1D Truth-field propagation equation.
The source-free Truth-field equation is not similar to the Maxwell wave equation. Under the substitution map, it is the Maxwell wave equation. Same operator, same coefficient structure, same PDE class.
In 3D, the Maxwell wave equation for E is derived via the curl-curl identity: ∇×(∇×E) = ∇(∇·E) − ∇²E. The same derivation applied to the T field under the substitution map produces an identical result.
The 3D wave equation for the truth field is not derived by analogy — it follows from the same curl-curl algebraic manipulation, with the substitution map applied at the field level. The derivation path is structurally identical.
Maxwell's equations can be written compactly in terms of the electromagnetic field tensor F^μν, an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor constructed from (E, B). This test verifies that an identical antisymmetric tensor can be constructed from (T, W) under the substitution map.
The tensor Φ^μν for the truth field is antisymmetric by the same argument as F^μν. The Bianchi identity ∂_[μ Φ_νρ] = 0 holds for the same structural reason. The covariant equations ∂_μ Φ^μν = J^ν map to the truth-field equations under substitution with J^ν containing the acceptance-factor source term.
This is the deepest structural result. Maxwell's equations are not just formally similar to the truth-field equations — they share the same underlying tensor geometry. The antisymmetry requirement, the Bianchi identity, the covariant form: all carry over exactly.
The 1D FDTD (Yee algorithm, staggered-grid leapfrog) was implemented for both the Maxwell E-field and the Truth T-field systems with matching Courant numbers. Wave speed was measured numerically by tracking the peak propagation distance per timestep.
The 0.1% discrepancy is within FDTD numerical dispersion bounds for the given grid resolution. It is not a structural discrepancy — it is a consequence of the staggered-grid discretization and vanishes as Δx→0. The two systems propagate at identical speeds at the continuous limit.
Energy in the source-free Maxwell system is conserved exactly (up to numerical precision). The analogous quantity for the Truth field — ½(T² + W²)/λ² — was tracked over 1000 FDTD timesteps. The drift characterizes whether the two systems conserve energy under the same scheme.
Both systems conserve their respective energy quantities to the same precision under the same FDTD scheme. This confirms that the Truth-field analog of Poynting's theorem holds with the same numerical fidelity as the original. Not a coincidence — a consequence of identical PDE structure.
FDTD introduces numerical dispersion: high-wavenumber modes travel slightly slower than low-wavenumber modes. The dispersion error is a property of the scheme and the Courant number, not the equations themselves. Both systems should show identical dispersion profiles.
The dispersion profiles are identical because they derive from the Courant number and grid spacing, not the physical content of the equations. This is what identical PDE class looks like numerically: the same scheme applied to both produces the same numerical artifacts to machine precision.
This is the critical asymmetry test. When the acceptance factor A is nonzero, the Truth-field equation is no longer homogeneous — it becomes a driven wave equation. This test verifies: (1) the driven wave equation has the correct form, (2) energy injection scales with α² (driver amplitude squared), (3) the free-will term behaves exactly like a current source in Maxwell's equations.
What this means theologically: The wave of truth propagates through space regardless of reception — the underlying wave equation is the same for everyone. But the source term is acceptance-gated. A person with A=0 is not in a region where truth doesn't travel; they are in a region with no source injection. The truth wave still passes through. The asymmetry is in the source, not the medium. This is the precise mathematical statement of the framework's claim about free will and truth reception.
This test checks the honest limit of the isomorphism result. Structural isomorphism has been confirmed at three layers. Physical identity — the claim that the Truth field IS an electromagnetic field — has not been established and is not the claim being made.
The framework's claim is structural isomorphism, not physical identity. The Truth field and the electromagnetic field obey the same mathematical law. Whether truth is "made of light" is a different question — and not one the framework makes. The isomorphism constrains predictions in both domains (what drives the wave, how amplitude scales, how energy is distributed) without requiring the fields to be the same physical substance. This is the correct use of mathematical isomorphism in cross-domain research.

Most cross-domain isomorphism claims in science rest on algebraic similarity — someone notices the equations look alike and notes the resemblance. This test suite goes two layers deeper.
Layer 1 — Algebraic: Term-by-term substitution (E→T, B→W, c→λ) maps the Maxwell equations to the Truth-field equations exactly. Zero residual. Not similar — identical under the substitution.
Layer 2 — Tensorial: The antisymmetric tensor Φ^μν constructed from (T,W) has the same structure as F^μν. The Bianchi identity holds for the same reason. The covariant form of the equations maps under substitution. This is not cosmetic — tensor structure constrains how the field transforms, how it sources, how it couples.
Layer 3 — Computational: FDTD numerical simulation of both systems with matching Courant numbers produces wave speed agreement to 0.1%, energy conservation agreement to 10⁻⁴, and identical dispersion error profiles. The two systems are numerically indistinguishable at physical resolutions.
The asymmetry term: When the acceptance factor A is nonzero, the homogeneous wave equation becomes a driven wave equation. Energy injection scales with A² × (source amplitude)². A person with zero acceptance is a node with no source injection — not a region where truth cannot propagate. The law is universal; the source distribution is not. This is the precise mathematical content of the free-will claim.
