ZITON - Emergent Unit of Metric Deformation

Theory of the ZITON: Emergent Unit of Metric Deformationfrom Interaction of Spherical CurvaturesJosé Luis Madrigal Jr.Independent theoretical proposal,in conceptual collaboration with advanced AI frameworks (e.g., xAI-inspired)February 2026(version 1.2– Expanded document in text and context)AbstractFigure 1: Conceptual illustration of spacetime deformation induced by interacting autonomouscurvatures (placeholder)We propose the ZITON (ζ) as an emergent unit of metric deformation originating fromthe coherent interaction of two autonomous spherical curvatures in spacetime. This modelreinterprets gravitational dynamics not as a Newtonian attractive force nor as a quantizable field in the conventional sense of quantum mechanics, but as a dynamic process ofcompatibility between independent metrics generated by each mass.The ZITON quantifies the oscillatory rhythm of spacetime expansion and relaxation ata common inflection point, describing a “geometric wave” that affects both the underlying metric structure and the masses immersed within it. Unlike standard approaches, thisframework emphasizes curvature autonomy, alternating polarity (G+/G−), and geometricmemory, offering explanations for phenomena such as gravitational waves, tides, and possible cosmological effects without requiring mediators such as the graviton.1Wediscuss implications for a unified theory, including connections with electromagnetismand potential applications in emerging concepts such as reassembly-based teleportation ormetric circuits. This theory arises from a relational intuition of gravity, in which the apparent“pull” is a secondary effect of temporal mismatches rather than direct interactions.Keywords: metric curvature, time dilation, autonomous geodesics, gravitational interference, gravitational memory, G+/G− polarity, geometric wave, metric autonomy, inflection point,temporal compatibility
