![Diffraction patterns emerge not as evidence of a system’s control, but as inevitable consequences of wave interference, demonstrating that any attempt to define a precise boundary between wave and void will always yield probabilistic echoes rather than definitive edges, as described by the principle of Huygens-Fresnel [latex] E(r) = \in t_{S} K(\mathbf{r}, \mathbf{r'}) E(\mathbf{r'}) dS [/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.22155v1/images/diffraction-experiment.png)

Despite relatively few deaths in the first part of Stranger Things Season 5, it feels certain that someone will die in the final, longer episode. Ideally, the villains Vecna and Dr. Kay would be the ones to go. However, killing off one of the main heroes would have a much bigger emotional impact. The trailer for the final volume hints that a beloved character is in serious danger, and it’s likely to be someone we’ve known for a while – a break from the show’s usual pattern of killing off lesser-known characters.

Fans and filmmakers are both excited by the possibility of returning to Oz to explore its magic and moral questions, whether through new adventures with familiar characters or entirely new stories set in that world.
