No one is paying me to back engineer Palmer's alleged breakthrough. I have used layman's terms to characterize what is afoot in previous posts. There are two constraints here. One is how much I can infer resides in Palmer's Black Box via gedanken and to what extent the public can understand a description that gets unavoidably technical. In this case it is mathematical since I don't have a prototype to play with.

I can tell you though that Palmer didn't solve Maxwell's Field Equations to make his alleged discovery. The Maxwell equations don't admit an adequate description of the photon, since it is bounded and discrete while the em field is boundless and has an infinite energy integral. One has to make modifications to the field equations so that particularity is preserve. This is only possible by creating a consistent extension whose applicability to photonics is unclear. Palmer tinkered his alleged breakthrough using his intuitive knowledge of the components at hand. It wasn't a theoretical extrapolation.
