Current quantum field theories often treat the vacuum as a probabilistic abstraction.We present an alternative: the Vortex Framework (VF), which models the vacuum as adense, logarithmic superfluid (the Universal Liquid). By introducing a quintic nonlinearityto the Gross-Pitaevskii approximation, we resolve the “Microscopic Gap” in dense fluidmodeling. Furthermore, we redefine the graviton not as a fundamental particle, but as aquantized restorative strain unit of the fluid plenum. This derivation naturally recoversthe fine structure constant α and provides a deterministic, geometric-realist foundation forgravity and black hole evolution.
Smith et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
