Below is a structured, return‑to‑later reference block summarizing exactly what is still missing before the Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) framework becomes a complete physical theory. Each item includes a short, digestible explanation of what it represents. A recommended order of attack is included at the end.


1. A Fully Specified Dynamical System

RST currently has a strong backbone in the Substrate equation, but several components are still placeholders. A complete theory requires explicit definitions for every symbol and function that appears in the equations.

  • Ψ equation: A concrete partial differential equation describing how resonance patterns evolve. This turns Ψ from a concept into a dynamical field.
  • C[Ψ] functional: A precise mathematical operator that extracts physical characteristics from Ψ (e.g., intensity, topological charge, mode index). This determines what “properties” a resonance has.
  • F_R response function: A defined rule for how the Substrate reacts to the characteristics of Ψ. This is the RST analogue of a force law.
  • σ(x,t) source distribution: A specific function describing where and how strongly resonances act on the Substrate. This determines the spatial footprint of matter-like structures.

Until these are explicitly chosen, the Substrate equation is not yet a closed system.


2. Lagrangian / Action Principle and Conservation Laws

A complete physical theory almost always comes from an action integral. From the action, one derives:

  • the field equations for S and Ψ,
  • the symmetries of the theory,
  • the conservation laws via Noether’s theorem (energy, momentum, charge-like quantities).

Without an action, the theory lacks a formal foundation and cannot guarantee conservation laws.


3. Explicit Particle-like Solutions

RST proposes that matter is made of stable resonance patterns, but to make this scientific, the theory must produce explicit, finite-energy, stable solutions of the coupled S and Ψ equations. These solutions must be:

  • localized,
  • stable under perturbations,
  • classifiable (e.g., families of solutions),
  • mapped to physical quantities such as mass, charge, and spin.

This is where “matter = resonance” becomes a derived result rather than a conceptual idea.


4. Reduction to Known Limits (GR and QFT)

A new theory must reproduce the successful predictions of existing physics in the appropriate limits. RST needs to show:

  • Newtonian gravity: tension gradients must reduce to the familiar gravitational potential.
  • General Relativity: an effective metric or geodesic equation must emerge from Substrate behavior.
  • Electromagnetism / QFT: small oscillations of S and Ψ must behave like known field equations (wave equation, Klein–Gordon, Dirac, Maxwell).

This step ensures RST is not just internally consistent but externally consistent with observed physics.


5. Parameter Fixing and Physical Scales

RST contains parameters such as c, v, β, λ, μ, α, and κ. A complete theory must:

  • relate these parameters to known constants (c, G, ħ, particle masses),
  • or show how they can be measured or inferred,
  • or derive them from deeper principles.

Without this, the theory has too much freedom to be falsifiable.


6. Concrete, Testable Predictions

A scientific theory must make predictions that differ from existing models. RST needs to identify measurable effects such as:

  • deviations from GR in strong-tension regions,
  • specific signatures in galaxy rotation or lensing if dark matter = Substrate tension geometry,
  • nonlinear effects in high-intensity EM or gravitational waves,
  • cosmological structure predictions (Great Attractor, Laniakea, dark flow) that differ from ΛCDM.

These predictions don’t need to be fully worked out yet, but they must exist.


Recommended Order to Tackle the Missing Bits

  1. Define the Ψ equation (gives matter dynamics).
  2. Define C[Ψ], F_R, and σ(x,t) (closes the Substrate equation).
  3. Write the Lagrangian (locks in conservation laws and structure).
  4. Find simple particle-like solutions (proof of concept).
  5. Derive Newtonian and GR-like limits (consistency with known physics).
  6. Derive linearized limits for EM/QFT behavior (connects to quantum fields).
  7. Fix parameters (ties the theory to real numbers).
  8. Identify testable predictions (makes RST falsifiable and scientific).

This “Digestive Cookies” block is meant to be a return-to reference: a clear map of what remains to be built and why each piece matters. Once each missing component is understood, your creative exploration can begin filling them in, step by step, until RST becomes a fully testable physical theory.
