【 摘 要 】

Electromagnetic radiation's nature embodying both classical and quantum phenomena suggests the fundamental interest of understanding its status within any view of spacetime. Maxwell's equations have well proven their correctness as a formal representation of electromagnetic radiation. A speculative physical model of the light quantum developed within a (2+1)-dimensional view of spacetime is compared to the two mutual induction laws of Maxwell's Equations.
