The Principle of Physical Restraint: A Finite-Capacity Interpretation of Relativistic Field Dynamics
The Principle of Physical Restraint: A Finite-Capacity Interpretation of Relativistic Field Dynamics Abstract: Classical general relativity and quantum field theory are characterized by a structural permissiveness that allows for the mathematical prediction of divergent quantities. We propose a formalization of physical admissibility based on the requirement that the underlying substrate of reality possesses a finite operational capacity. By introducing a frame-invariant stress scalar and a coupled nonlinear system, we demonstrate that singularities are not physical entities but markers of reaching a universal capacity threshold. This reinterprets the event horizon and gravitational collapse as phenomena of saturation rather than geometric incompleteness. 1. The Philosophy of Finite Admissibility In the standard exposition of gravitational physics, spacetime is often treated as a passive manifold. This mathematical abstraction permits unbounded responses—singularities, infinit...
