Gauge freedom

The Aharonov-Bohm effect is self-inconsistent in U(l) electrodynamics because [44] the effect depends on the interaction of a vector potential A with an electron, but the magnetic field defined by = V x A is zero at the point of interaction [44]. This argument can always be used in U(l) electrodynamics to counter the view that the classical potential A is physical, and adherents of the received view can always assert in U(l) electrodynamics that the potential must be unphysical by gauge freedom. If, however, the Aharonov-Bohm effect is seen as an effect of 0(3) electrodynamics, or of SU(2) electrodynamics [44], it is easily demonstrated that the effect is due to the physical inhomogeneous term appearing in Eq. (25). This argument is developed further in Section VI. 

If gauge freedom is lost, however, the Lorenz condition is no longer valid, and a far more comprehensive view of the electromagnetic entity would be obtained by solving the 0(3) equations numerically. On the 0(3) level, there is no gauge freedom, and no Lorenz condition. 

We must first asymmetrically regauge the system, or have it asymmetrically self-regauge itself, in order to freely change its collected energy and obtain a net force to utilize. By gauge freedom, in theory this is cost-free to the system operator. 

Now we had two streams of EM energy, each in different form, and each equal in energy (determined by the Poynting-type calculation approach, which only accounts for diversion from and not for the river) to the original stream In short, we had exercised gauge freedom and asymmetric self-regauging to freely achieve energy amplification in the system.
