This article constitutes Part VI of Wang’s Perceptual Field Theory (WPFT), a modular ontological framework grounded in perceptual-field interaction and ontic energy. In this installment, temperature is reinterpreted not as a mere statistical measure of particle motion, but as a manifestation of structural energy transformation. The work proposes the concept of the “thermon” as the minimal ontic unit of thermal energy, corresponding to photons within an energy metabolism cycle. Thermal emission is analyzed as the reorganization and release of decomposed energetic structures rather than as passive dissipation. “Cold” is examined as an environmental tendency toward thermon uptake rather than as a substantive physical state. The conventional formulation of heat diffusion driven by temperature gradients is critically reconsidered in favor of a relational interaction model based on structural capacity and system participation. The article further reinforces the concept of Ontic Energy as the sole fundamental energy of existence and develops a metabolic interpretation of the universe in which all physical, biological, and cognitive phenomena are expressions of continuous energy reconfiguration. This contribution extends WPFT’s unified perception-based ontology into the domain of thermodynamics and existential interpretation.
