Canonical PDF (RST v1.1) — Page-by-Page Outline

RST v1.1 — Minimal GitHub Repo Skeleton (Simulator-Friendly)

This is a recommended repository structure designed to keep RST clean, testable, and reproducible. It separates the canonical theory document from simulation code and avoids “theory sprawl.”

Document name: Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) v1.1: Closure and Tests
Purpose: A single stable reference document that can be cited, simulated, and falsified.


Cover Page

  • Title: Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) v1.1: Closure and Tests
  • Author: Derek Flegg
  • Version: v1.1
  • Date: (insert)
  • Status: Independent preprint / Working framework
  • Canonical link: (insert)

Page 1 — Abstract

  • Short abstract (arXiv-style)
  • Keywords (substrate, emergent time, weak-field gravity, solitons, falsifiability)

Page 2 — Motivation and Scope

  • Why RST is proposed (tensions, interpretation gaps, strong-field unknowns)
  • RST does not invalidate GR/QM; it reinterprets and must match limits
  • Explicit non-claims (no propulsion claims, no “proved” statements)

Page 3 — Ontology + Axioms (RST v1.0 Archived Baseline)

  • Substrate field S(x,t) is physically real
  • Effective geometry emerges from substrate state
  • Time is a local rate tied to resonant systems
  • Matter is modeled as stable excitations (soliton-like states)

Page 4 — Core Field Equations

Substrate equation:

∂²ₜ S − c²∇²S + βS³ = σ(x,t) FR[C[Ψ]]

Coherence / matter equation:

∂²ₜ Ψ − v²∇²Ψ + μΨ + λ|Ψ|²Ψ = κSΨ
  • Explain each term (one line each)
  • State dimensional conventions (dimensionless or SI mapping)

Page 5 — Minimal Closure (RST v1.1)

  • Choose coherence functional:
    C[Ψ] = |Ψ|²
  • Choose resonance functional (minimal):
    FR = < |Ψ|² cos(ω₀ t) >T
  • Weak-field gravity map:
    Φ = A (S − S̄)

This page explicitly states: “These choices are the minimal closure for v1.1; alternative closures must be proposed as v1.2+ and justified by data.”


Page 6 — Correspondence Principle

  • GR correspondence: show how Φ recovers weak-field limits
  • QM correspondence: interpret |Ψ|² as conserved coherence density
  • State: “RST must reproduce GR/QM in their verified regimes.”

Page 7 — What v1.1 Aims to Reproduce (Minimum Bar)

  • Weak-field gravitational redshift/time dilation
  • Newtonian limit as an effective approximation
  • Conservation of coherence density (continuity structure)
  • Basic wave interference behavior via Ψ

Page 8 — Where Deviations Are Allowed (and Only There)

  • Strong-field compact objects (horizon behavior, relaxation)
  • Early-universe structure growth (time-rate inhomogeneity mechanisms)
  • High-coherence / extreme-gradient regimes (non-Maxwellian emergence)

Page 9 — Observational Signature Checklist

  • Identify low-cost tests using existing datasets
  • Define residual patterns that would distinguish RST from ΛCDM/GR

Page 10 — Falsification Criteria

  • Failure to match GR/QM correspondence in verified domains
  • No stable numerical solutions across reasonable parameter space
  • No distinguishable residuals beyond uncertainty where RST predicts them

Page 11 — Numerical Simulation Starter

  • 1D/2D discretization suggestions
  • Initial conditions
  • Energy and stability diagnostics
  • Parameter scan procedure

Page 12 — Limitations + Open Problems

  • Relativistic covariance extension not claimed at v1.1
  • Parameter identification remains open
  • Backreaction and cosmological embedding are future work

Appendices

  • Variables + Units + Interpretation table
  • GR → RST constraint table
  • QM observable → substrate mapping
  • FAQ for skeptical reviewers
  • References

RST v1.1 — arXiv-Style Abstract (Blogger Block)

Abstract. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) proposes a minimal scalar-field framework in which spacetime geometry, gravity-like behavior, and quantum observables emerge from the dynamics of a continuous physical substrate field S(x,t) coupled to a coherence field Ψ(x,t). Time is treated as a locally measured rate determined by substrate-coupled resonant systems rather than as a fundamental coordinate. RST v1.1 presents a closed minimal formulation by specifying functional terms required for implementation and testing, and by stating an explicit correspondence principle with weak-field General Relativity and standard quantum probability interpretation. The framework yields falsifiable predictions restricted to strong-field, early-universe, and high-coherence regimes while preserving verified GR/QM limits. We outline numerical simulation entry points and observational residual tests using existing datasets.
