General RSFT 10.5.2 Iteration 1

The document titled Rotational Substrate Field Theory (RSFT): Complete Working Record Revised Edition presents a comprehensive theoretical framework that derives fundamental physical constants and laws from first principles. Dated April 2026, it consolidates reviewed corrections into a unified record where nearly every physical parameter is derived from only two primitive constants: the substrate wave speed (c) and the electron mass (mₑ). Description The theory posits that the universe is an infinite "substrate" of sub-Planck touching points. A subset of these points self-organizes into an observable Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice, while the remainder forms a "Dark Ocean". Particles are modeled as toroidal vortex rings (specifically Clifford tori) that act as topological defects within this lattice. Key accomplishments and derivations detailed in the text include: The Velocity Budget: The stability condition for these vortices leads to the equation vₒ₏₈₍^2 + v^2 = c^2, from which Lorentz invariance and time dilation naturally emerge as mechanical consequences rather than postulates. Independent Derivation of G: Newton’s gravitational constant (G) is derived independently from the substrate's pressure field, resolving circular dependencies found in earlier versions of the theory. Hierarchy Resolution: RSFT explains the 10^45 magnitude difference between electromagnetic and gravitational forces as a geometric consequence of first-order versus second-order pressure coupling. Lattice-Based Physics: Photons are identified as longitudinal acoustic phonons of the FCC lattice, while the W/Z boson mass scales are linked to transverse excitations. Cosmological Constant: The theory reproduces the observed cosmological constant (₎₁ₒ 1. 09 10^-52 m^-2) as residual dark ocean pressure at the proton Compton scale. While the record claims structural closure, it identifies four open problems (O1–O4) that require further numerical computation, such as the exact calculation of the fine structure constant () and the full proton mass budget.
