From Absence to Worlds: A Relational Theory of Energy, Organization, and Existence

This preprint presents a foundational relational theory of energy, organization, and existence, reinterpreting the basic concepts of space, time, matter, and forces. Within this framework: Space is understood as a relational allowance enabling energetic organization to persist and differentiate, rather than as a pre-existing geometric container. Time is redefined as persistence, arising from the accumulation of endurance where relations stabilize and repeat, becoming countable only through continuity. Matter appears as stabilized relational domains, with subatomic constituents functioning as organizational roles rather than independent building blocks. Forces, including gravity and nuclear interactions, are interpreted as emergent from regularities of energetic organization, not as independent binding agents. Worlds are defined as internally coherent relational configurations arising from persistent energetic structures. The framework operates at a foundational level underlying empirical physics, aiming not to replace observational descriptions but to reinterpret their assumed primitives as expressions of sustained energetic continuity. This work is independent, conceptual, and intended to provide a coherent ontology for understanding relational organization at all scales.This work presents an original theoretical framework independently developed by the author and disseminated publicly and privately prior to formal archiving, including via personal blogs, educational videos, and direct communications with interested audiences, establishing precedence for its concepts and approach.
