The Charge-Entanglement Ontology introduces a minimal pre-geometric framework in which all physical reality emerges from photon dipole pairs organized around eccentric Alpha Void Tears. The theory is built on a single primitive — charge asymmetry — and is governed by Greer’s Universal Variational Principle. At its core is a fundamental duality: mass (stacking density) curves space while temperature curves time. This duality is encoded in a refined effective metric and variational action that recovers standard general relativity, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics in appropriate limits, while generating new testable predictions. A refined temperature-dependent factor \(α(T) = √(T₀/T)\) is introduced to ensure compatibility with the Tolman-Ehrenfest effect. The framework derives an effective geodesic equation that naturally incorporates both gravitational and thermal contributions to acceleration, and yields temperature-corrected electromagnetic constitutive relations: \(D = ε₀ α(T) E, B = μ₀ α(T)⁻¹ H\) Notably, the model achieves quantitative agreement with multiple experimentally measured properties of the recently synthesized C₁₃Cl₂ half-Möbius molecule (twist angle, switching voltage, spin-orbit coupling, aromatic stabilization, ring current, HOMO-LUMO gap, etc.). The paper outlines the core primitives (Alpha Void Tear with e ≈ 0.962, helical circulation, Greer Tax, reclamation waves), the effective field equations, the emergence of Maxwell’s equations, and broader implications for relativity, electromagnetism, and new laboratory predictions. This work belongs to the Single Alpha Void Ontology research program (Master Reference Document v2.8).
