Vortons in the AMS
Matter as Topological Knots (“Vortons”) in the AMS
Matter is proposed to consist of stable, localized topological knots in the AMS, referred to as vortons. A vorton is not a particle in the classical sense, but a persistent geometric configuration of the substrate.
Key characteristics of vortons:
- Topological stability: Vortons are stabilized by topology rather than by continuous energetic input. Their persistence arises from knot-like constraints in the AMS geometry.
- Non-substantiality: Vortons do not exist in the AMS as foreign objects; they are specific configurations of the AMS.
- Combinatorial structure: Complex matter arises from bound clusters of vortons forming lattices, chains, and higher-order structures. Chemical and nuclear structures correspond to higher-level vorton binding geometries.
- Mass as resistance to reconfiguration: What is perceived as mass corresponds to the resistance of a vorton (or vorton cluster) to geometric reconfiguration of the AMS.
This view replaces the particle ontology with a geometric/topological ontology, where matter is emergent from stable substrate configurations.
