Conservation, Boundaries, and Logical Minimum: A Modal Reinterpretation of the Stress–Energy Tensor in Minkowski Space within the Theory of Objectivity presents a rigorous and original contribution to foundational physics by reframing the problem of unification through the lens of modal–axiomatic coherence. In this work, Vidamor Cabannas develops a critical–propositive dialogue between Wim Vegt’s proposal—which prioritizes a linear, divergence-free stress–energy tensor in 4D Minkowski spacetime as the core unifying block of physics—and the Theory of Objectivity (TO), an ontological program grounded in the Seven Absolute Truths. Rather than treating the divergence-free condition as a merely technical requirement, the paper interprets conservation (∇·T = 0) as a modal boundary constraint directly aligned with TO’s Axiom 4, according to which distinct elements require at least one boundary line between them. Under the Law of Logical Minimum, the paper argues that the fundamental question is not simply “linearity vs. nonlinearity,” but whether a physical framework satisfies the minimal ontological conditions for coherence in any possible universe. From this perspective, curvature and nonlinear dynamics may be understood not as universal deformations of the foundational structure, but as regime-dependent emergent phenomenology associated with cosmological eras and TO’s Inductor Effects. To maintain empirical discipline and scientific comparability, the work integrates a set of operational bridges and indirect evidence channels, including: Aspect’s Bell-type nonlocality tests, Planck CMB anisotropies, LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave detections, and JWST observational constraints on early luminous galaxies. Within this same methodological horizon, the article articulates the testable hypothesis that neutrinos may constitute phenomenic manifestations of TO plasmas, preserving falsifiability through a structured PASS/HOLD protocol for theory assessment. By combining formal stress–energy structure, ontological boundary logic, and experiment-facing validation pathways, this article advances a disciplined framework for dialogue between modern theoretical physics and the Theory of Objectivity—offering a novel reinterpretation of conservation, minimality, and emergence as pillars of coherence and testability.
