A Theory of Reality: Structural Expansion, Saturation, and Emergent Gravitation
Abstract
We present a structural framework in which gravitation and cosmological expansion emerge as coupled manifestations of a single scalar field describing the local structural state of reality. The formulation introduces no new particles or fundamental forces,avoids physical singularities, and remains compatible with known weak-field limits. Gravitation arises as a local reaction to the inhibition of expansion, while cosmological expansion corresponds to the large-scale behavior of the same structural field. Darkmatter and dark energy are reinterpreted as effective descriptions of saturated and nonuniform structural regimes, rather than as independent substances. Entropy and the arrow of time are not introduced as dynamical agents but may be consistentlyinterpreted as global statistical consequences of structural relaxation. The theory distinguishes between observable temporal scales and deeper structural relaxation timescales and provides clear criteria for falsifiability. The present work establishes a unifying structural framework rather than a complete cosmological model.
