From Philosophical Critique to Technical Formulation

This paper introduces fluia, a continuous elastic medium made explicit to address limitations in modern physical paradigms that treat propagation and interaction as primitive. By specifying the rheological behavior of this medium—particularly shear-thickening and shear-thinning responses—electromagnetic radiation, coherence, and gravitational bending emerge as mechanistic consequences rather than independent postulates. The work bridges prior philosophical critique with a technical constitutive framework, restoring continuity without introducing additional forces, particles, or geometric axioms
