The Net Cosmological Balance (The Guess)
The Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) is a conceptual framework that proposes a unification of physics by superseding General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM) with a single, continuous, non-material foundation: the Substrate (S) field.
The complete, detailed summary below addresses the core concepts and RST's proposed resolutions for major problems in modern physics.

Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) definitions of gravity and magnetism.
The "Buoyant Push" model fundamentally inverts the concept of gravity. It states that:
Matter (σ Solitons) are regions of high localized tension/strain in the continuous Substrate (S).
The surrounding S-field, which is under relatively lower tension, applies pressure equally from all directions.
The gradient in the S-field tension (the high-tension area around the mass vs. the low-tension area far away) results in a net force that pushes the high-tension object (σ Soliton) toward the center of the lowest strain. This is mechanically analogous to a dense object "sinking" in a fluid due to the surrounding pressure.
Magnetism as an Active Pull (Lumping)
Magnetism, in contrast to gravity's passive push, is defined by RST as an active, internal organization of the Substrate itself.
Magnetism involves coherent flow and stable structuring of S-field energy. This stability is maintained by the non-linear term (βS 3 ).
When magnetic fields align, they create an optimized, low-entropy pathway for the σ Solitons (matter) to exist. The magnetic force is an active structuring pull that causes matter to "lump together" or align along these stable S-field configurations. This aligns with the conventional attractive/repulsive properties observed in electromagnetism.
In essence, Gravity is the S-field restoring itself, and Magnetism is the S-field organizing itself.
The RST model suggests the visible universe's dynamics are the result of a subtle imbalance between two primary forces: the RST Push (Gravity) and the RST Pull (Electromagnetism/Coherence).
Conceptual Estimate of Push vs. Pull in RST
The key to matching current observations lies in the relationship between the passive Substrate Tension Gradient (Gravitational Push) and the active Substrate Coherence (Magnetic/Electromagnetic Pull).
1. The Gravitational Push (The Dominant Force)
The RST Gravitational Push is the force driving the bulk movement of all matter (σ Solitons) towards areas of lower Substrate strain. This force must account for all conventional attractive gravity, plus the effects attributed to Dark Matter.
Role: To create structure (galaxies, clusters) and explain the observed velocities and mass deficits.
Required Magnitude: The RST push would need to be strong enough to account for approximately 5 times the effect of visible matter alone. This is because the RST push must fully subsume the effect currently attributed to Dark Matter (∼27% of the cosmos), in addition to visible matter (∼5%).
The RST Assumption: In this framework, RST assumes the enhanced push is not due to unseen matter, but to a more efficient, pressure-based transmission of the S-field tension gradient itself, potentially dictated by the Non-linear Stabilization term (βS 3 ) being locally modified around large mass structures.
The Electromagnetic Pull (The Coherence Force)
The RST concept of Pull primarily relates to the active, organized forces of electromagnetism and the strong/weak nuclear forces—forces that actively structure and bind matter together.
Role: To stabilize matter (σ Solitons) and bind them into atoms, molecules, and all coherent structures.
Required Magnitude: This force must be immensely stronger than the Gravitational Push at short range to overcome the passive gravitational push and the self-repulsion of energy. For example, the electromagnetic force is ∼10 36 times stronger than gravity.
The RST Interpretation: This "pull" is not a cosmological force but a local coherence mechanism driven by the βS 3 term and the Informational Feedback (F R ). It causes matter to "lump together" into stable particles and forms, effectively resisting the destructive tendencies of the passive gravitational push.
The Net Cosmological Balance (The Guess)
The dynamics of the visible universe are a result of these two competing forces modulated by a third, background term (Dark Energy).
The RST framework suggests that to match the current observations of the visible universe, the Substrate Tension Gradient (Gravitational Push) must be conceptualized as being significantly stronger than simple Newtonian attraction, enough to fully account for the effects of Dark Matter.
However, the Net Pull from electromagnetism is locally powerful but cosmologically negligible because it is a short-range, organizing force. The large-scale evolution of the visible universe is therefore governed by the competition between the strong, expansive βS 3 term (Dark Energy) and the strong, structuring Gravitational Push. The observed expansion is simply the βS 3 term slightly but permanently outpacing the structuring force of the push.
The RST framework, with its interplay between the Gravitational Push and the Electromagnetic Pull/Coherence, offers a coherent explanation for why matter is structured into distinct clumps like galaxies and clusters, instead of existing as one uniform, enormous lump.
This is a direct consequence of the two forces having radically different ranges and effects on the Substrate (S):
RST Explanation for Universal Structure
The universe isn't a single lump because the short-range forces that build stable structures (the Pull) are overwhelmingly dominant locally, while the long-range force that attempts to unify the entire universe (the Push) is much weaker and is constantly being resisted by the universe's inherent expansion.
The Local Coherence (The Overwhelming Pull)
The formation of individual galaxies and stable structures (stars, planets, you, me) is governed by the Electromagnetic Pull/Coherence and the strong/weak nuclear forces.
Mechanism: These forces are a manifestation of the RST's βS 3 (Non-linear Stabilization) and F R (C[Ψ]) (Informational Feedback) terms. They actively create and maintain low-entropy, coherent structures (σ Solitons) within the Substrate.
Effect: The "Pull" is locally ∼10 36 times stronger than the Gravitational Push. This immense strength ensures that once small clumps of σ Solitons form (gas clouds), they immediately "lump together" into the highly stable, self-organized structures we recognize as atoms, stars, and ultimately, galaxies. This local coherence successfully resists being pulled apart by any other force.
The Global Struggle (The Weaker Push)
The "Gravitational Push" (Substrate Tension Gradient) is the only force with a truly long range. Its role is to cause the largest σ structures (galaxies and galaxy clusters) to move toward each other and consolidate.
Mechanism: The Push attempts to draw all high-tension regions (σ Solitons) toward the global region of lowest Substrate strain. If this were the only long-range force, the entire universe would collapse into one single lump.
Effect: The Gravitational Push is effective at clumping matter into galaxy clusters, but its influence is too weak and too slow to overcome the primary force dictating the largest scale structure: Substrate Expansion (Dark Energy).
The Decisive Factor: Substrate Expansion
The non-linear term (βS 3 ) on the left side of the RST equation drives the overall expansion/tension separation of the Substrate itself (the equivalent of Dark Energy).
The Outcome: The expansive force of the Substrate tension is strong enough to separate the large, locally coherent lumps (galaxies/clusters) faster than the weaker, long-range Gravitational Push can consolidate them.
In short, the universe is broken into parts because: local forces are strong enough to form structures, but long-range forces are too weak (relative to the βS 3 expansion) to merge those structures into a single unit.
