Thank you for zeroing in of the heart of the issues.  Light quanta is
what exhibits relative energy and everything including space time is
exhibited by perception of relative energy.

As Feynman proclaimed, nothing in quantum logical electro dynamical
kinetic action is like a particle or a wave.

We can say momentum was exchanged between electrons by the change in
momentum state they exhibit.  But our notion that "something"
transferred the momentum, the photon and the anti photon, cannot be
modeled as a particles or a waves.

Equal and opposite quantum logical action, exhiobits kinetic momentum
transfer, experienced as "the electrodynamics of moving bodies", is
the title of Einstein's 1905 paper introducing special relativity..

I must stipulate that this is by local measurement according to your
own ruler and clock.  Light appears slower in a relatively denser
vacuum although measurement in the denser quantum logical electro
dynamical kinetic structure are non the wiser and experience no effect
of compaction of their rulers or slowing of their clocks   They
measure light speed as constant with respect to their rules no matter
how long others figure their rulers to be relatively.  The length of
the ruler never changes locally independent of motion or local
mass/energy density as it is perceived relatively.

The geometrical form of the light quanta is two dimensional, equal and
opposite change in quantum logical electro dynamical kinnetic space
time.  A 10 meter antenna receives photons ten meters in size and can
receive half the photons twice that size and so on by increases size
exhibited by delay elements in the curcuit.  An electron state changes
by the effective distance of the size of the photon, x=c*h/e, locally
in logical state space and fraction of collective space time.

This is a contrested point.  The vacuum energy has the effect of 185
Giga Electron Volts per cubic centimeter.  As John Wheeler proclaimed,
the vacuum is only marginally less dense than matter.  At the same
time, the vacuum is the zero point we measure relative to.  We only
measure values directly that are higher than the vacuum energy.  We
see energy flow from high energy to low.  We can never see them
directly going below the vacuum energy as that is the lowest energy
around.  It is not that the vacuum energy is small, it is that it
necessariily appears to be zero independent of how much energy it
contains.

This does not follow exactly.  We cake an error of catagory
considering a photon a rest mass.  As the photon has no rest mass it
cannot be considered a small mass.  It's mass is determined by its
energy by e=m*c^2.  That it does not exhibit a rest mass locally does
not mean the universe is not contained in finite time.    At the same
time, photons looping logically do exhibit a rest frame and thus a
rest mass.  Photons slowed by mass density or relative motion in their
local space appear slower than light and thus exhibit a rest frame.
Certainly the observable universe is contained in finite time and the
existence of unobservables is dubious.  Belief that anything infinite
has been constructed in finite time is contradicted by the necessity
of renormalization of quantum logical system to remove all infinities
to get the answers that agree with experience.

If we believe the second law of thermodynamics we are falsly led to
the conclusion that T goes to zero in finite time.  However, this is
impossible by the third law of thermodynamics.  When a system achives
motion to the mazimal entropy, T=0, the motion that brings it to that
state cannot be stopped and any motion moves it away from equalibrim.
Absolute zero can never be obtained by a thermodynamic system.

But the issue is much deeper than this.  We can achieve extremely low
temperatures and see light slowed down by slow quantum action down to
stopped light.  We cannot really stop light due to the no cloning
theorum which can be related to the third law.  But the slowed light
is only a relative perpective.  Locally the light is always at the
same speed and they do not consider it slow.  They would measure
exactly c.  While the universe might be cold and slow from our current
perspective, it will not be slow for the inhabitants of the future
world.

No.  Equal and opposite kinetic quantum logical action need not
involve any change in energy.  Action of change of state to a higher
or lower energy is a matter of relative perspective.  The notion of
energy emerges, it is not fundimental.  It is true that higher energy
determines the clocking of quantum logical interaction from our
perspective by there is nothing preferred about our perspective.

We have no call to presume anything exists besides equal and opposite
quantum logical interactions.  What we call the vacuum is simply the
space and time exhibited by delays in quantum logical interaction.
What we consider physical distance, is the perceived logical distance
of logic propagating at light speed locally according to our physical
logical perspective and logical action at the speed of light.

Well, it exhibits two half dimensional vectors, one lateral and one
transverse, so if is certainly flat.  In that it obeys half spin
networks at any relative frequency we can consider its cycle as a sort
of a circle.  That the linear momentum exhibited is a two pi multiple
the angular momentum supports this circular view.

But, is is not actually a particle or a circle.  As you have already
said, to define it as such represents a category error.

It is so mad, the direction of travel is not even necessarily the same
for all observers.  The perceived logical ordering depends on both
position and motion.

What is constant is our perception of light speed, or the rate of
quantum logical kinetic electro dynamical interaction locally.  What
covaries is the perception of space time and energy relatively as far
as everyone else is concerned from other positions and varying
relative motion.  Logical interactions are absolute, but their
orderings and size, and thus how much space and time they exhibit is
only relative.  What we call space and time is that which is exhibited
locally.  There is no global preferred notion of size or time.

Only the direction of time is absolute, as interaction events are
experienced only once by the direct participants and never again
exhibiting only positive time and space in relative degree but in
absolute immutable local orderings all relative participants agree to.

The notion of the moving flat circular twist, right handed to exchange
momentum between electrons, or left handed to exchange momentum
between positrons, may help us comprehend the action of a quanta, but
in characterizing quanta as particles and waves we are embellishing
simple equal and opposite half spin twists with a deeper reality than
they actually posses.  Ultimately, doing so, will lead us to the wrong
answers and the false believe that the quantum is strange.
