This framework demonstrates mass origin through topological knots in a novel field theory, suggesting implications for particle physics.
We provide a comprehensive topological framework for the origin of rest mass, effectivelysuperseding the phenomenological Higgs mechanism. Within the q-deformed Effective FieldTheory (q-EFT), we demonstrate that elementary "particles" are not fundamental entitiesbut localized topological solitons (knots) of the background 1-form field γµ. By applyingthe energy-momentum tensor to these configurations, we provide a rigorous geometric prooffor Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence: rest mass is the quantized Hamiltonian energy oftrapped metric strain. This framework naturally accounts for particle stability, discretemass spectra, and the physical mechanism of matter-antimatter annihilation.
