FRCFD Ontology: Substrate, Regimes, and Formal Mapping
FRCFD Ontology: Substrate, Spacetime, Matter/Energy – Formal Mapping FRCFD Ontology: Substrate, Spacetime, Matter/Energy – Formal Mapping Version 1.4 – Final (March 29, 2026) This document consolidates the ontological foundation of Finite‑Response Coupled Field Dynamics (FRCFD). It integrates the refined substrate ontology with the formal Lagrangian and numerical pipeline, and clarifies that the substrate is the structural basis from which both spacetime (the geometric expression) and matter/energy (the excitation field) emerge. 1. The Non‑Material Substrate – Ten Foundational Points 1. The Substrate Is Non‑Material Not matter Not energy Not a medium Not a filler Not a classical field Clarification: The substrate is physically real but belongs to a category distinct from matter and energy—it is the structural basis from which both spacetime and matter/energy arise. 2. There Is No Void The substrate is not a filler of a pre‑existing void; rather...
