1.0 One-page Overview: Version Roles, the Four-Layer Map, and How to Use It

Home ／ Energy Filament Theory (V6.0)

I. Opening Hook: The universe is not expanding; it is relaxing and evolving

The universe is not expanding; it is relaxing and evolving. In Version 6.0, this is not a slogan but a single “main axis”: the universe’s Baseline Tension changes slowly over long timescales—earlier is tighter, later is looser. Once Tension shifts, nearly every reading that looks unrelated gets rewritten together, and it must be unpacked with one consistent framework into two tracks: one is “how clocks tick” (Intrinsic Cadence), and the other is “how information travels” (Relay handoffs). When we later discuss Redshift, time readouts, the upper bound on the speed of light, the Dark Pedestal, and structure formation, we will keep coming back to this main line.

To make “tight/loose” feel more solid, picture a concert crowd: the more packed it is, the harder it is for a person to turn, raise an arm, or clap—so an individual’s “personal rhythm” actually slows down; but with people shoulder to shoulder, the wave is handed off more smoothly from row to row, and the wave moves faster.

The Energy Sea works the same way:

Tight = slow beats, fast relay;
loose = fast beats, slow relay.

II. Where Energy Filament Theory Fits: Unify the Base Map First, Then Fill In the Math and Tests

The first priority of Energy Filament Theory (EFT) is to unify—on a single Base Map—“what the world is made of, which variables describe it, which mechanisms drive it, and where the universe’s main axis is heading,” and to lock key terms and abbreviations into one consistent usage so the same word doesn’t mean different things in different places.

Mathematization, quantification, and system-level validation are not unimportant; they are simply a project that requires time and collaboration: only after we unify the map and coordinate system can different teams complete derivations, simulations, and observational comparisons under the same set of definitions.

Historically, many major frameworks followed a similar path. Take special relativity: in 1905 it first rewrote the “intuitive base map” and provided the core transformation and testable predictions; more mature geometric formulations, broader precision tests, and engineering-grade applications were then refined over many subsequent years by large bodies of work.

Energy Filament Theory follows the same cadence: it unifies the worldview and the shared language, provides entry points for technical details and criteria, and also offers a testable checklist and comparison routes—welcoming different teams to complete the mathematics and verification step by step on top of the unified framework.

III. Version 6.0 vs. Version 5.05: What Each Text Is For

Energy Filament Theory maintains two parallel presentations: Version 5.05 leans toward technical specifications, while Version 6.0 leans toward a big-picture worldview. They run in parallel and neither makes the other obsolete, but they serve different jobs—you can think of them as two books about the same city: one is the master map; the other is a parts catalog.

Version 6.0 is the worldview Base Map

It is responsible for placing “what the world is made of, which variables describe it, which mechanisms drive it, and where the universe’s main axis is heading” onto a single overview map.

Its goal is to unify usage: one term means one thing throughout the book, and one mechanism keeps the same underlying commitments across scales even if its appearance changes.

Version 5.05 is the technical atlas

It is responsible for writing structural details, strict definitions, criteria windows, boundary conditions, and counterexample handling in a reusable way.

It is suited to “pinning problems down”: for example, the structural conditions for certain classes of particles; technical criteria for Tension Potential Redshift (TPR) / Path Evolution Redshift (PER); and response templates for Statistical Tension Gravity (STG) / Tension Background Noise (TBN).

The version relationship must be stated clearly: Version 6.0 does not fully replace Version 5.05

The technical content of Version 5.05 remains valid.

Version 6.0 mainly replaces the looser, not-yet-unified worldview narrative in Version 5.05, bringing the “macro main axis + micro mechanisms” into alignment on the same Base Map.

Why Version 6.0 and Version 5.05 Both Exist: A Phased Coexistence Under Resource and Pace Constraints

The immediate reason Version 6.0 and Version 5.05 coexist is the practical constraint of team resources and iteration cadence: fully rebuilding Version 5.05 into Version 6.0’s unified language and complete chapter system is a large engineering effort, and it can’t fully keep pace with content updates in the short term. To avoid postponing the unification of the worldview Base Map, we first release a dual-version form: Version 6.0 unifies the worldview and the main-axis language; Version 5.05 continues to carry technical details, structural configurations, and derivation conventions; afterward we will gradually migrate, rewrite, and converge Version 5.05 content into Version 6.0’s chapter structure, ultimately forming a complete Version 6.0 series.

This also explains why only a few release-grade fitting reports exist at the moment: fitting reports are high-investment deliverables that require strong cross-checking, and they cannot be mass-produced in the short term. We prioritize sample reports that represent key mechanisms and the core conventions; subsequent reports will be filled in and expanded item by item, in priority order.

IV. Quick Routing: When to Use Version 6.0, and When to Go Back to Version 5.05

This section gives the most practical way to “navigate,” so you don’t get lost in details—and so you also don’t stay at the level of big talk without landing anything.

Two rules of thumb

If you want to build a new worldview and grasp the full picture and main axis: read Version 6.0.

If you want to pin down technical details (e.g., an electron’s specific shape/structural conditions, criteria windows): read Version 5.05.

Three common question types and where they land

If you ask “what is it / why / how do we unify it / what does the overall picture look like”: answer with Version 6.0’s map and main axis first.

If you ask “how is it defined / what are the criteria / under what conditions does it hold / where are counterexamples and boundaries”: go back to Version 5.05’s technical definitions and criteria first.

If you ask “I want both the big picture and the details”: use Version 6.0 to locate which layer you’re on, then use Version 5.05 to fill in the key conditions and constraints.

V. Rules for Using Both: How to Merge Two Conventions Without Concept Drift

This part has one goal: at any moment, you can tell “should I follow Version 6.0 here, or should I go back to Version 5.05,” and you won’t mix the two into a conceptual stew.

For worldview and narrative main axis, follow Version 6.0.

Typical: the Relaxation Evolution main axis, the Four-Layer Map, causal chains, the convention for decomposing the four forces, and the unified main thread for structure formation.

For abbreviation expansions and technical details, follow Version 5.05.

Typical: full expansions of abbreviations, strict definitions, technical criteria, applicability conditions, counterexample boundaries, how to compute, and how to test.

When it looks like a conflict, handle it in the order “first determine the layer, then fill in the details.”

First decide: is this a compressed statement because Version 6.0 is an overview?

If yes: use Version 5.05 to supply details and boundaries.

If no: treat it as an older, looser, or not-yet-unified narrative convention in Version 5.05; update it to Version 6.0, and label it in output as “overview convention / technical convention.”

VI. The Four-Layer Map: Put Any Question in the Right Place Fast

This is not prose—it’s a navigation bar. When you face any question, first place it in a layer, then call the corresponding mechanisms and criteria.

Ontology Layer: What the universe contains

Energy Sea: a continuous-medium substrate; Vacuum Is Not Empty.

Texture: directional roads and meshable organization inside the sea.

Filament: the smallest structural unit formed after Texture condenses.

Particles: Filaments that coil—close—and undergo Locking into a steady structure.

Light: a finite Wave Packet that is not locked, traveling via Relay Propagation.

Field: a Sea State map (Weather Map / Navigation Map), not an additional entity.

Boundary structures: the boundary-materials-science appearance of critical features such as Tension Wall, Pore, and Corridor.

Variable Layer: The language used to describe Sea State

Density: how much “stuff” the substrate carries; background richness/paleness; and the level of background noise.

Tension: how tightly the sea is stretched; it determines terrain slopes and the foundation for Intrinsic Cadence.

Texture: whether the “roads” are smooth, how the handed organization forms, and the preferences of Channels and couplings.

Cadence: the allowed stable ways to jitter—and the intrinsic clock.

Mechanism Layer: How it runs

Relay Propagation: change advances through local handoffs.

Gradient Settlement: the bookkeeping language of dynamics and motion.

Channel meshing: near-field Texture “teeth” determine sensitive Channels.

Locking and Alignment: stable particles come from Locking; nuclear binding comes from a short-range locking mechanism driven by Swirl Texture Alignment.

Statistical effects: frequent birth and death of Short-Lived Filament State give rise to Statistical Tension Gravity and Tension Background Noise.

Redshift Decomposition: Tension Potential Redshift sets the Baseline Color; Path Evolution Redshift provides the Fine Correction.

Cosmic Layer: What it evolves into

Main axis: The universe is not expanding; it is relaxing and evolving

Extreme scenarios: Black Hole / boundaries / Silent Cavity, etc., are described under one framework based on Tension Wall.

The modern universe: a unified convention for the appearance of the Dark Pedestal, structure formation, and observational readouts.

Origins and end states: a roadmap given under the same Sea State mechanism set.

VII. Abbreviation Index: Stable Cross-Language Referencing

Abbreviations are not for showing off; they are for keeping cross-language discussions from drifting—and for preventing artificial intelligence (AI) retrieval from deforming terms. The following abbreviations are used as “stable labels” in Version 6.0:

EFT = Energy Filament Theory: Energy Filament Theory

TPR = Tension Potential Redshift: Tension Potential Redshift

Different endpoint Baseline Tension → different Intrinsic Cadence → the primary Baseline Color of Redshift

PER = Path Evolution Redshift: Path Evolution Redshift

Light crosses large-scale regions that are still slowly evolving → accumulates a colorless net frequency shift → usually a small correction

GUP = Generalized Unstable Particles: Generalized Unstable Particles

A collective name for transitional structures that form briefly, can tug the surrounding medium, and then deconstruct/annihilate

STG = Statistical Tension Gravity: Statistical Tension Gravity

Countless “pulls” statistically sculpt an extra slope → forming the appearance of additional attraction

TBN = Tension Background Noise: Tension Background Noise

A broadband, low-coherence local disturbance substrate left behind during the deconstruction-and-backfill stage

VIII. Usage Conventions: Preventing Concept Drift

This is the “default interpretation” section, meant to keep conventions from drifting even as later sections get more complex.

Red first means ‘tighter/slower’, not necessarily ‘earlier’

“Earlier” is only one common source of “tighter Baseline Tension,” not the only source.

“Local” means the Sea State where the current measurement system sits.

Rulers and Clocks are built from particle structure; they participate in the same calibration system.

The division of labor between Tension Potential Redshift and Path Evolution Redshift must be kept strict.

Tension Potential Redshift discusses the endpoint cadence ratio (Baseline Color).

Path Evolution Redshift accumulates a net effect (Fine Correction) only when “propagation lasts long enough + the region is still evolving.”

Default convention priority

When discussing the main axis and the full picture: default to Version 6.0’s map and conventions.

When discussing technical details: default to checking Version 5.05’s definitions and criteria.
