Resonance – Physics Model develops the physical formalism of the resonance substrate introduced in the Resonance – Core Framework. The paper proposes that the substrate’s three primary behaviors — resonance density (pr), resonance pressure (Pr), and resonance tension (T) — give rise to what physics identifies as mass, energy, and gravity. As stated in the text, “resonance density… gives rise to what physics identifies as mass,” and “gravitational attraction reflects the tension gradient produced by differential resonance density.” Mass is interpreted as resistance to reconfiguration of dense resonance; gravity as tension equalization across density gradients; and energy as the work done by resonance pressure. General relativity is preserved as the correct geometric description of tension‑induced curvature, while the substrate provides a mechanistic explanation for why curvature exists. The paper reinterprets dark matter as network tension within the cosmic filament structure, black holes as rupture events where the resonance veil fails, and introduces the Resonance Pressure Constant (RPC) as a physically motivated replacement for the cosmological constant Λ. The RPC sets baseline substrate pressure and determines cosmic expansion, filament thickness, void size, and black hole formation rates. Section 8 presents a full suite of falsifiable predictions, including: – absence of particle dark matter, – dark matter distribution aligned with filament topology, – deviations from GR near rupture thresholds, – weakened gravity in void interiors, – RPC signatures in CMB acoustic peaks, – jet orientation aligned with filament direction. The paper explicitly states that these are hypotheses, not established results, and identifies open problems such as deriving Einstein’s equations from tension dynamics, resolving the cosmological constant discrepancy, and formalizing quantum behavior from substrate coherence. This preprint is the second major paper in the Resonance Cosmology Series, providing the physics foundation for subsequent works on biology, consciousness, artificial identity, and cosmology of universes.
