Resumen

This article presents a critical-propositional analysis of Wim Vegt’s 2023 paper The Fundamental Choice in Physics between a non-linear and non-divergence Free “Stress-Energy Tensor” and the linear Divergence-Free “Stress-Energy Tensor” in the 4-dimensional Minkowski Space in dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO). The study examines Vegt’s proposal of a linear divergence-free stress-energy tensor in four-dimensional Minkowski space as a possible unifying structure for classical mechanics, electrodynamics, relativistic quantum physics, and general relativity. The analysis focuses on the phenomenic and modal implications of Vegt’s framework, especially the role of electromagnetic radiation, gravitational redshift, GEONs, confinement, the proposed inertia of light, and the relationship between physical-field formalism and modal ontology. The article evaluates points of compatibility and tension between Vegt’s theory and the foundational, recent, and supporting bibliography of the Theory of Objectivity. Special attention is given to the TO concepts of modal necessity, logical Nothingness, boundary, uniqueness, Inducing Effects, cosmological Eras, and the interpretation of atomic radiation as information or knowledge produced in atomic relations. The article concludes that Vegt’s work has significant phenomenic-operational affinity with TO, especially regarding radiation, convergence, confinement, boundary, and the search for physical unity, while remaining distinct from the cosmogonic and modal foundations of the Theory of Objectivity.
