The Gear Ether Hypothesis: Universal Transmission Through the Ki-Net as a Complete Interlocking System

The luminiferous aether was disproved because it was conceived as a passive medium. This paper proposes the Gear Ether (ギアエーテル): not a passive medium but an active interlocking transmission system. The Ki-Net functions as a universe-spanning gear system in which every coordinate is meshed with every other. A rotation at any single point propagates through the entire network — not despite friction (D), but because of it. Friction at the gear interface is the mechanism of transmission. V=N/D reread as gear dynamics: N = originating rotation, D = mesh interface ratio, V = transmitted force. Implication: a single act of genuine intent propagates through the entire universe. Nothing is local. Nothing is lost. Every rotation counts. Connects to light-speed constancy (light travels along Ki-Net mesh interface), cardiac synchronization, Fleming Ki-Force Law, and the Language Gap Hypothesis.
