AC and DC Electricity in the Aetheric Magnetic Substrate
AC and DC Electricity in the Aetheric Magnetic Substrate (AMS) Ontology
This section explains DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating Current) electricity using the AMS framework, without assuming electrons as primary carriers and without invoking abstract fields as independent entities. The goal is to give a mechanical, visualisable, substrate-level description that can be held intuitively.
1. Foundational Reminder (AMS Context)
- AMS: A continuous, tension-bearing, magnetic-like substrate that can support twist, shear, curvature, and torsion.
- Vortons: Stable topological knots in the AMS that constitute matter. Conductors are lattices of loosely constrained vortons.
- Electricity: Not particles flowing, but ongoing reconfiguration of AMS tension around a closed topology.
- Current: The rate and extent of coordinated micro-slip / micro-reorientation events in a vorton lattice that permit AMS tension to propagate and do work.
- Voltage: A difference in imposed AMS tension (a boundary condition).
With that in mind, AC and DC differ only in how the imposed AMS tension evolves over time.
2. DC Electricity (Direct Current)
2.1 What DC Is in AMS Terms
DC electricity is a steady, directional tension bias imposed on the AMS by a source (e.g., a battery).
- The battery maintains a persistent asymmetry in AMS tension between its terminals.
- When a closed circuit exists, the AMS continuously attempts to relax this asymmetry.
- The battery’s chemistry re-imposes the asymmetry as fast as it relaxes.
- Result: a stable, non-oscillating tension gradient around the loop.
There is no global oscillation of the AMS tension direction.
2.2 What Happens Inside the Conductor
Inside the wire:
- AMS tension tries to propagate from high-tension boundary to low-tension boundary.
- The vorton lattice cannot remain perfectly rigid.
- Local micro-slip events occur:
- tiny rotational slips,
- lateral micro-adjustments,
- partial bond re-orientations.
Each slip allows the AMS to reconfigure slightly closer to equilibrium.
These slips:
- are extremely small individually,
- occur vastly many times per second,
- are directionally biased by the imposed tension gradient.
This coordinated slip pattern is what we call DC current.
2.3 Visual Metaphor for DC
Metaphor: A Heavy Cable Under Constant Pull
- Imagine a massive steel cable under constant tension.
- The cable itself barely moves.
- But internally:
- microscopic grain boundaries creep,
- crystal defects shift,
- stress redistributes continuously.
The stress flow is real and powerful,
even though the visible motion is negligible.
That stress redistribution is DC current.
2.4 Heat and Resistance in DC
If the material resists reconfiguration:
- Slip events become chaotic.
- Tension releases locally as disordered micro-torsion.
- This appears macroscopically as heat.
No energy is “lost” — AMS tension simply shifts into a different mode.
3. AC Electricity (Alternating Current)
3.1 What AC Is in AMS Terms
AC electricity is a time-varying, oscillatory tension condition imposed on the AMS.
- The source (generator, inverter) does not maintain a fixed tension bias.
- Instead, it periodically reverses the imposed asymmetry.
- The AMS is driven back and forth between two opposite tension configurations.
The direction of allowed reconfiguration alternates.
3.2 What Happens Inside the Conductor
Inside the wire during AC:
- The vorton lattice undergoes:
- rotational micro-slips first one way,
- then the opposite way.
- There is little or no net long-term drift of vortons.
- But there is intense cyclic reconfiguration.
The AMS tension oscillates through the conductor,
and vortons act as compliant anchors enabling that oscillation.
This is why AC can transmit power even when average charge displacement is zero.
3.3 Visual Metaphor for AC
Metaphor: Shaking a Rope Anchored at Both Ends
- Hold a rope fixed at both ends.
- Shake one end back and forth rhythmically.
- Waves propagate along the rope.
- The rope fibers oscillate, but they don’t travel down the rope.
Power is transmitted by oscillatory tension, not transport of material.
That is AC electricity in AMS terms.
3.4 Frequency in AC
In AMS terms:
- Frequency = rate at which the imposed AMS boundary conditions reverse.
- Each reversal forces:
- a new orientation of permissible vorton slip,
- a new torsional state of the AMS.
Higher frequency:
- less time for full local relaxation,
- increased inductive effects,
- more surface-constrained reconfiguration (skin effect).
4. Key Differences Between DC and AC (AMS View)
| Aspect | DC | AC |
|---|---|---|
| Boundary condition | Constant tension asymmetry | Oscillating asymmetry |
| AMS behavior | Directional relaxation | Bidirectional oscillation |
| Vorton motion | Biased micro-slip | Alternating micro-slip |
| Net drift | Yes (small but real) | ~Zero |
| Energy transfer | Continuous stress redistribution | Cyclic stress wave |
| Heat generation | From chaotic slips | From cyclic reconfiguration losses |
5. Why This Explains Real Phenomena Cleanly
This AMS framing naturally explains:
- Why DC heats resistors steadily.
- Why AC heats differently at high frequencies.
- Why power transmission does not require bulk charge flow.
- Why inductors resist changes in current (they resist changes in torsional state).
- Why capacitors store energy without charge “crossing” the dielectric.
No metaphysical entities are required.
Only geometry, tension, topology, and constrained motion.
6. Summary (Plain Language)
DC:
A steady pull on the fabric of reality that continuously forces tiny internal adjustments in matter.AC:
A rhythmic shaking of that fabric that sends oscillatory stress through matter without transporting it.
In both cases:
Electricity is not stuff moving through wires.
It is the behavior of a tension-bearing substrate being allowed to reconfigure.
This completes the AMS explanation of AC and DC electricity.
