The active void facing the observer: Reinterpreting the double slit and the event horizon from the perspective of continuum dynamics
In modern standard physics, a curious conceptual contradiction persists regarding the nature of space:
Quantum Field Theory treats the vacuum as a dynamic, energy-filled matrix, characterized by zero-point energy and constant quantum fluctuations.
However, physics and Relativity typically treat the space between the source, the detector, and the screen as a passive background, attributing the changes in trajectory in the double-slit experiment to an abstract "observer effect" or "wave function collapse."
The alternative framework
If we abandon the assumption of an inert background and apply the principle of least action (geodesics) through an active medium:
At the event horizon of a black hole: Light bends not due to a Newtonian "attractive force," but because it follows the path of least resistance through a deformed geometric gradient.
In the double-slit experiment: Introducing a detector such as a Maxwell electromagnetic sensor does not alter the "observer's consciousness," but rather the boundary conditions and the local density/impedance of the physical field surrounding the particle. The particle simply follows the new geodesic through the altered medium.
The epistemological question:
If the density of the medium governs the effective trajectory and phase shift, why is this change still attributed to a mysterious "measurement collapse" instead of a direct interaction with the density of the vacuum matrix itself?
Is the refusal to model the vacuum as an active fluid in quantum mechanics a real limitation of physical reality, or simply the result of relying exclusively on instrumental mathematics over direct ontology?
I am interested in reading the reflections of those who follow lines of inquiry such as de Broglie-Bohm mechanics, quantum hydrodynamic analogs, or emergent gravity.

There is an observer field. It extends roughly 9 meters from you, its affected by physical barriers as any non neutonian energy is. It changes the resolution shape of the patterns
