Luminous Units
Luminous Units form the QMU hierarchy that connects chronogeometrical oscillation volume, inertial light, electrostatic light, mass-to-magnetic-charge ratio, photomagnetic activation density, and projected illumination density.
Authority Statement
The Luminous Units cluster is the canonical APM/QMU authority hierarchy for units derived from the chronogeometrical structure of light. Its root is the quantum volume oscillation unit, \(qvos\), which is not light by itself. Light appears when the chronogeometrical oscillation volume is coupled to mass.
\[ qvos={\lambda_C}^3{F_q}^3 \]
\[ ligt=mass\cdot qvos \]
This identifies \(ligt\) as inertial light: a luminous state of Aether space carrying an inertial mass factor through the chronogeometrical oscillation structure.
Canonical Luminous Hierarchy
Electrostatic Version of Light: efvr
The electrostatic luminous counterpart of \(ligt\) is \(efvr\). It is formed by replacing the inertial mass factor with the charge factor applied to the same chronogeometrical oscillation volume.
\[ efvr=chrg\cdot qvos \]
For numerator forms in this luminous branch, the electrostatic charge factor is written explicitly as
\[ chrg=\frac{e^2}{8\pi\alpha}. \]
This convention keeps the numerator electrostatic form distinct from denominator magnetic-square-charge usage, where the same charge structure is usually represented as \({e_{emax}}^2\).
\[ efvr=\left(\frac{e^2}{8\pi\alpha}\right){\lambda_C}^3{F_q}^3. \]
Mass-to-Magnetic-Charge Ratio
The relationship between inertial light and electrostatic light gives the QMU unit \(mchg\), the mass-to-magnetic-charge ratio.
\[ mchg=\frac{ligt}{efvr} \]
Substituting the luminous definitions gives
\[ mchg= \frac{mass\cdot qvos}{chrg\cdot qvos} = \frac{mass}{chrg}. \]
For the electron sector this is
\[ mchg=\frac{m_e}{e_{emax}}^2. \]
This is the critical distinction: \(mchg\) is the mass-to-magnetic-charge ratio. It is not magnetic charge affinity.
From mchg to qpmd
Quantum Photomagnetic Density is formed by dividing the mass-to-magnetic-charge ratio by light.
\[ qpmd=\frac{mchg}{ligt} \]
Using \(ligt=mass\cdot qvos\) and \(mchg=mass/chrg\), the mass factor cancels:
\[ qpmd= \frac{mass/chrg}{mass\cdot qvos} = \frac{1}{chrg\cdot qvos}. \]
In the electron-sector magnetic-square-charge form this becomes
\[ qpmd= \frac{1} {{e_{emax}}^2{\lambda_C}^3{F_q}^3}. \]
From qpmd to qild
Quantum Illumination Density is the characteristic-length projection of \(qpmd\). It projects the volumetric photomagnetic activation density through one electron Compton length.
\[ qild={\lambda_C}\,qpmd \]
\[ qild= \frac{1} {{e_{emax}}^2{\lambda_C}^2{F_q}^3}. \]
Temperature as the Activation Bridge
The luminous hierarchy is structural. Temperature supplies the activation coordinate used when electron populations interact with a luminous condition.
\[ temp=c^2 \]
\[ \Theta_e=\frac{E_h}{m_ec^2} \]
Thus \(temp\) defines the maximum propagation-square temperature, \(\Theta_e\) defines the electron-sector fractional temperature, and \(qpmd\) and \(qild\) quantify how that activated electron condition is expressed through the luminous units.

Supporting Luminous Authority Pages
The Luminous Units cluster is supported by dedicated authority pages for the transported photon, inertial light, and the electron Compton length. These pages allow future papers to cite each unit directly while preserving the hierarchy.
