This paper presents the Relational Substrate Hypothesis (RSH) as a standalone synthesis and follow-up to the completed six-paper relational primacy series. It consolidates the framework's central ontological reversal — that relations are prior to objects, and that apparent objects are scale-bound compressions of relational closures — into a single reusable statement. Drawing on category theory, gauge structure, holonomy, causal set theory, standing-wave mechanics, and Ubuntu's social ontology, the paper gathers the highest-value recurring structure from the wider project into one portable base from which future derivations can proceed. It is not a numbered successor in the original sequence but a companion synthesis intended to support subsequent work in philosophy of physics, systems design, ethics, privacy, and personhood.
