Abstract

This manuscript introduces the ``Zipped'' model, a novel theoretical framework unifying fundamental particles, galactic stability, and cosmology through topological principles. In this approach, elementary particles are treated as stable knots in the spacetime fabric, with mass emerging from the internal tension of these knots. Macroscopic structures such as galaxies are stabilized through the collective topological elasticity of spacetime, naturally reproducing flat rotation curves without invoking Dark Matter. The framework also provides an intuitive explanation for Dark Energy as the elastic rebound of the spacetime medium from its initial high-tension state, and defines the Arrow of Time as the gradient of tension release. Key results include: Geometric derivation of particle mass and Compton-scale radii. Explanation of the Zwanenburg Limit, a fundamental acceleration threshold governing galactic dynamics. Derivation of the inverse-square law of force from topological stress propagation. Unification of gravity (contractive tension) and electromagnetism (topological torsion). A cosmological interpretation of the Big Bang, Dark Energy, and evolving galactic interactions. This manuscript represents a complete, self-consistent theoretical framework connecting microphysics, macrodynamics, and cosmology in a single topological model.
