Reinterpreting Relativity in AMS Terms
Reinterpreting Relativity in AMS Terms
1. Thesis
Relativistic effects are reinterpreted as changes in physical process rates and measurement outcomes caused by local AMS constraints (tension, torsion, curvature gradient), rather than as properties of an abstract spacetime manifold.
2. Operational Starting Point
All time and length measurements reduce to:
- counts of repeating physical cycles (clocks),
- and comparisons of propagated signals (often optical/EM in conventional language).
In AMS terms, these are:
- cyclic reconfiguration rates of stable vorton structures,
- and propagation of torsional disturbances through the substrate.
3. Kinematic Time Dilation (motion-related)
When a clock is in sustained motion relative to a chosen reference environment, its internal cycles must continuously reconcile with:
- ongoing substrate reconfiguration demands associated with maintaining that motion through the AMS.
Result:
- the clock’s internal cycle completion rate is reduced compared with a clock not undergoing that sustained constraint.
This maps onto the observed “moving clocks run slow” effect (phenomenology acknowledged; ontology differs).
4. Gravitational Time Dilation (altitude/field-related)
A stronger AMS tension-gradient environment imposes greater constraints on cycle completion rates.
Therefore:
- clocks deeper in the gradient tick slower;
- clocks higher in the gradient tick faster.
This corresponds to tested altitude-dependent clock-rate shifts. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
5. Light Propagation and “c”
In AMS, the characteristic propagation speed of small torsional disturbances is a substrate property (a limiting response speed of the medium).
Thus “c” is:
- not a magical number about “light-as-a-thing,”
but a constraint on how quickly the AMS can update and transmit disturbances.
6. Length Contraction (measurement-side)
If rulers and clocks are made of vorton structures whose equilibrium configurations depend on AMS constraints, then motion through or constraint changes in the AMS will alter:
- equilibrium spacing of bound structures (rulers),
- cycle periods (clocks),
and hence alter measured lengths and times in a coupled way.
7. Practical payoff
Relativity becomes:
- a theory of how substrate constraints alter the behaviour of matter-built measurement devices and signals,
with the same empirical targets but different metaphysical commitments.
