Ω-Theory: A Unified D–F–R Field Framework for Cosmology, Particles, and Dark Matter
Abstract
Ω-Theory/ hypothesis proposes that the structure of spacetime can be understood as a single geometric field characterized by three interdependent components: Delay (D), Flow (F), and Rotation (R). Delay represents curvature and time dilation; Flow represents directed evolution through spacetime; and Rotation emerges naturally whenever Flow propagates across non-uniform Delay gradients. Together, these components define the Ω-field—not as a new physical substance, but as a unified geometric description of spacetime dynamics. Within this framework, the early universe is modeled not as a singular explosive origin, but as the decompression of an earlier, highly curved spacetime regime. As directional Flow expanded through steep Delay gradients, this decompression fragmented into filaments, nodes, and shells that seeded the large-scale cosmic web. Regions where decompression remained incomplete persist today as dark matter: smooth, gravitationally significant zones of elevated Delay that lack rotational structure and retain curvature while being causally disconnected from their formative configurations. Dense nodes within the collapse–decompression network plausibly evolved into the supermassive black holes observed at galactic centers, while stable Rotation knots formed where Flow and Delay interact locally give rise to particle-like behavior. In this view, black holes, dark matter filaments, and cosmic voids are all manifestations of differing curvature-flow regimes within a single continuous spacetime. Ω-Theory further interprets cosmic expansion, the large-scale uniformity of the cosmic microwave background, galaxy rotation curves, and the filamentary distribution of dark matter as consequences of evolving causal horizons and reference loss, rather than as evidence of repeated beginnings or separate universes. By treating curvature, flow, and rotation as inseparable geometric features of spacetime, Ω-Theory offers a unified framework connecting cosmology, gravitation, and emergent structure, with testable predictions regarding the long-term evolution and relaxation of the universe.
