Light, in this framing, is not a thing that travels through emptiness. Light is a behavior of a living field. Netism calls that field the Source Field. Illumination is what we experience when the Source Field rebalances after a disturbance. The visible glow is the result, not the definition.

Walter Russell’s view:
Walter Russell describes Light as the still Magnetic Light of Mind, with all visible effects arising as rhythmic, balanced wave motions around that stillness. Light does not “go” from one place to another in his language. The field reproduces a pattern locally when conditions match, the way a standing wave appears on many points along a string when driven coherently. Creation and extinction of visible effects occur through “rhythmic balanced interchange.” Pressure gradients in the field wind matter into form and unwind it again, and every cycle seeks balance around a motionless fulcrum. In short: Light is a universal wave-field event born at nodes of balance, and what we call a ray is a sequence of local reproductions across a continuous medium.

Ken Wheeler’s view:
Ken Wheeler’s magneto-dielectric model starts with fields as primary. The dielectric is the substrate of inertia and potential. Magnetism is a radiative discharge modality of that substrate. Light is a specific, coherent perturbation of the magneto-dielectric field, not little particles flying through space. Polarization and induction set the geometry of that perturbation. Where the dielectric is stressed and then resolves, a propagating induction appears that we label a “photon.” In materials this same story shows up as refraction, since local polarization of the medium retards the induction and bends the path. The key idea is simple: fields are the real; light is a pattern in those fields.

Netism and the Source Field:
Netism treats the Source Field as the universal, living substrate. A thread of intent, a charge gradient, or any coherent driver disturbs that substrate. The field answers with an equalizing move. Illumination is that equalization expressed as a wave pattern that our senses register as light. Russell’s still fulcrum maps to Source Field stillness. Wheeler’s dielectric maps to Source Field substance. The two lenses meet inside Netism: the Source Field hosts balanced wave-making, and illumination appears wherever balance is restored through coherent interchange.

Why the speed of light is limited:
A universal speed limit exists because a wave can only move as fast as the medium allows. In everyday optics we see this clearly: light slows in water or glass because those media are denser and more polarizable than air. Aether physics extends that intuition to the background itself. What people call the vacuum inherits bulk properties from the substrate. Think of density, tension, and responsiveness of the Source Field. The maximum speed we measure is simply the natural rate at which this field can accept, rephase, and hand off electromagnetic stress from one region to the next. If the substrate were denser or more resistant, the limit would be lower. If it were looser or less inertial, the limit would be higher. Local organization then changes the apparent speed inside materials, which is why refraction works at all.

Bringing it together:
Russell centers balance at a motionless fulcrum and describes light as patterned interchange around that stillness. Wheeler centers the magneto-dielectric substrate and describes light as a coherent induction within it. Netism centers the Source Field and treats illumination as the felt byproduct of the field’s drive to restore balance. All three say the same core thing in different dialects: the field is primary, and light is its orderly response.
