Authors amend photon polarization details in five-dimensional quantum-gravity model

A formal correction to the paper titled “A five-dimensional classical framework for gravitational and quantum phenomena” has been published in Scientific Reports. The amendment replaces the earlier claim that the source creates two photons with a fixed linear polarization of π/4 with a description that the source emits photon pairs whose identical polarizations are selected with equal probability from two orthogonal states, forming a statistical ensemble across experiments.

Figure 3b now serves as an example of one such realization where both photons have the π/4 orientation. The authors also revise the outcome analysis, stating that using equations 10-13 and averaging over the 50/50 ensemble produces marginal probabilities p(A)=p(Ā)=½, consistent with quantum theory. The methods section is similarly updated to reflect that a 50/50 ensemble of orthogonal initial polarizations yields the same marginal probabilities. These corrections ensure the model’s predictions align with established quantum mechanical expectations.
