Open loop dispersion vs closed loop absorption, in either case they are a distinction of low energy observer bias. They are functionally equal because the waveform is a projection through a open feature of a manifold bound by a topological inversion that intersects it.
So the photon never really goes anywhere, we just see its shadow cast across a screen that moves from our perspective.
