There are cavities involved, likely. However, they are not supplying any
energy, apparently, rather they *configure* the reacting ingredient or
ingredients. We know that the reaction rate increases with temperature. I
suspect that the energy required -- there must be energy required, but
energy is not the only "ingredient" -- is generally supplied by ordinary
heat.
Abd,
Your interpretation is more correct in that the energy doesn't come
from the cavity itself but as you say rather the way the cavities configure
the reactants. That said this is not a normal chemical reaction or it would
be overunity. I wrongly attributed the additional energy source to the
cavity which is really only a conduit that "configures" the orbital state of
atoms which can then be stored with a simple covalent bond for later
exploitation when the molecule moves to a different region where the
"stored" configuration is already trying to break the covalent bond that is
opposing the translation of the atoms to the new configuration. This
effectively discounts the amount of energy needed to disassociate the bond
such that the energy needed to cycle the atoms back to f/d1 from f/d2 is
less than the energy released when forming f/d2!
