ELECTROMAGNETIC SUBSTANTIAL MATRIX AND THE MODAL DISCIPLINE OF OBJECTIVITY: a critical–propositional analysis of Hugang Cui's Spacetime Substantivalism 31 in confrontation with the axioms, phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras of the Theory of Objectivity

Key Points

This article critically analyzes Hugang Cui’s Spacetime Substantivalism 31 and its relation to the Theory of Objectivity. It aims to explore the implications of Cui's theory for foundational questions in physics.
Conducted a critical–propositional analysis of Hugang Cui’s theory in relation to the Theory of Objectivity.
Examined modal axioms, phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras.
Identified points of tension between Cui's electromagnetic framework and the Theory of Objectivity.
Cui's proposal shows significant dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity, but ultimately does not replace its modal foundation.
Highlights tensions between Cui’s emphasis on electromagnetic ontology and the Theory's view of primordial foundations as Nothing.
Suggests that while Cui's framework offers a physical-substantial hypothesis, it does not align completely with the ontological perspective of Objectivity.

Abstract

This article presents a critical–propositional analysis of Hugang Cui’s Spacetime Substantivalism 31: The Electromagnetic Substantial Spacetime Matrix Theory — Ontological Restructuring of the Underlying Logic and Physical Essence of Modern Physics, published on Zenodo under the DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20336180. The analysis confronts Cui’s theory of an electromagnetic substantial spacetime matrix with the Theory of Objectivity, especially its modal axioms, phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras. The article argues that Cui’s proposal has a high degree of dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity because it reopens the ontological question of spacetime, the vacuum, mass, the Higgs phenomenon, quantum fluctuations, and cosmic origin. At the same time, the article identifies important points of tension. While Cui tends to interpret the electromagnetic-photonic matrix as the ultimate foundation of physical reality, the Theory of Objectivity maintains that the primordial foundation is Nothing as a Primitive and Eternal Mathematical Essence. Furthermore, the Theory of Objectivity understands the transcendent element as knowledge or information produced in atomic relations, equivalent to atomic radiations, whereas Cui’s framework tends to privilege an electromagnetic-material ontology. The article concludes that Cui’s proposal dialogues strongly with the Theory of Objectivity as a possible physical-substantial derivative hypothesis, but not as a replacement for its modal foundation.
