Abstract
<jats:p>This work confronts the enduring interpretive challenge of wave-particle duality by proposing a unified conceptual framework that reinterprets physical waves as self-similar fractal information processes and particles as stable, localized excitation patterns of an underlying field. Our framework provides an operational synthesis between Wheeler's "it from bit" and Bohm's implicate order, effecting an ontological shift to an information-theoretic process ontology. In the optical regime, light propagation is reconceptualized as coherent information reconstruction mediated by the polarization field, dissolving the paradox of photon identity. Prism dispersion is reinterpreted as spatial unfolding of frequency-domain fractal structures. In the quantum domain, the double-slit interference pattern is connected to the fractal geometry of Wiener paths, providing an intuitive geometric basis for probability amplitude superposition. The framework resolves wave-particle duality by recognizing both aspects as complementary manifestations of a deeper information-reconstructive substrate.</jats:p>
