The Normality of the Void: Truth, Matter, and Hydrogen as Topological Defects in the Relational Coherence Theory

Abstract: Human cognitive and scientific prejudice tends to consider solid matter, biologically compatible temperatures and linear progression of time as the "normal" state of the Universe. This article does not propose a conventional "Theory of Everything", but a radical change of ontological and epistemological paradigm based on the Relational Coherence Theory (RCT) and the Relational Ontology Framework (ROF). We demonstrate that the fundamental and "normal" state of reality is not matter, but the "empty" at absolute zero: a timeless state of symmetrical perfection, maximum consistency (Cn=1) and perfect dynamic balance within the Primordial Relations Field (PRF) at 8 dimensions. In this framework, the Universe does not have an absolute beginning (from nothing) nor a thermal end, but undergoes phase transitions. What we call "manifest reality"—matter, time, energy and even information—is not the original substance of the Universe, but represents a waterfall of "topological defects" and metastable states that ripple the symmetry. The hydrogen atom is mathematically identified here as the fundamental "threshold of perception": the first stable anomaly in which relational consistency lapses enough to collapse the field into what we perceive as "physical reality". Through this lens, we strictly normalise the concepts of Truth and Falsity. "Truth" ceases to be a moral construct to become a universal thermodynamic principle (absolute Efficiency): it is the natural force of relaxation of every defect to dissipate its entropic friction to return to the balance of the Void. On the contrary, "Falsity" represents a parasitic node that requires constant energy work to maintain its artificial structure. This document offers the physical-mathematical formalisation of this process, showing how cosmic evolution and ethics itself are ultimately the tendency of the relational tissue to heal its discrepancies. Epistemological Note (to avoid moral/anthropocentric biases): In reading this framework, it is crucial to detach the concepts of "Truth", "Error", and "Falsity" from their conventional moral or psychological meanings, understanding them strictly as thermodynamic and informational operators: Truth (The Baseline): Coincides with physical Reality itself. It is the state of maximum topological efficiency and relational coherence (Cn→1), free of artificial entropic friction. Error (The Optimization Process): Must not be confused with Falsity. Error is a natural, transient fluctuation within the Primordial Relations Field. It represents the system's topological "trial and error" mechanism—a necessary, dynamic step towards optimization and the resolution of asymmetry. Falsity (The Parasitic Superstructure): Falsity occurs only when a misaligned construct is artificially maintained against the natural gradient of the field. It requires a continuous injection of external thermodynamic work (Win>0) to avoid relaxation, thereby generating an Entropic Debt (ΔSdebt>0). Falsity is not the "mistake" itself, but the energetic cost of refusing to heal it.
