This work presents a systematic ontological revision of quantum mechanics and cosmology, proposing a shift from interpretative debates to foundational reconstruction. Using the method of ontological descent—moving from interpretations to experimental procedures and empirical data—it is shown that key categories of standard quantum mechanics ("particle," "observer," "collapse," "non-locality") are metaphysical overlays lacking direct empirical justification. The "Copenhagen interpretation" in its popular subjectivist form is identified as a historical myth constructed in 1955, never formally validated by experimental protocols involving biological observers. The theory is anchored by empirical data from the Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 probes (2012–2020), which recorded a plasma density jump at the heliopause (from 0.002 to 0.08 electrons/cm³). This measurement challenges the ontology of the vacuum as absolute emptiness, suggesting instead a unified continuum field with measurable density (). Core Postulates of Compensation Theory: Unified Continuum: Physical reality is a single field with variable density. Particles are not objects moving in void, but stable modus of field transformation. Operational Observer: The "observer" is defined as apparatus configuration, removing consciousness from the causal chain of measurement. Compensation Mechanism: Quantum entanglement is explained via topological connectivity and holism, not non-locality. Correlations arise from the preservation of global invariants (spin, charge) within a single modus, not superluminal signaling. Decoherence as Thermodynamic Limit: The transition from quantum to classical is a loss of global compensation due to the number of interacting degrees of freedom (), not a wavefunction collapse. Cosmological Implications: Gravity is reinterpreted as a pressure gradient of the medium. Dark Matter and Dark Energy are proposed as inertia and viscosity of the continuum, respectively. Cosmological redshift is modeled as energy loss in a viscous medium with variable density, offering an alternative to metric expansion. Predictions and Falsifiability: The theory makes specific, falsifiable predictions currently undergoing verification: Supernovae Type Ia: Parameters (color-luminosity slope ) must correlate with local baryonic density. Early data shows significant differences between passive () and star-forming galaxies (). Color Evolution: Asymmetric color evolution (rapid reddening and recovery) in early supernova phases is predicted based on shockwave dynamics in dense media. Spectral Shifts: Systematic dependence of atomic line parameters on local vacuum density along the line of sight. This document serves as the foundational manuscript for Compensation Theory, outlining the mathematical apparatus (compensation tensor ), variational principles, and criteria for empirical falsification. It invites the scientific community to test these predictions against existing datasets (DESI, WFST, Kepler, Gaia).
