Abstract

The collective body of research consolidated within these unified studies establishes Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) as a post-relativistic framework that unifies gravitational, electromagnetic, and quantum phenomena under a single energetic foundation. ECM redefines the classical–relativistic paradigm by introducing effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ), apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ), and negative apparent mass displacement (−ΔMᵃᵖᵖ) as dynamic, interdependent quantities governing field interaction and cosmological evolution. Central to ECM is the assertion that mass, energy, and frequency are interchangeable manifestations of a single existential continuum, expressed as ΔMᴍc² = hf = KEᴇᴄᴍ, which redefines kinetic and potential energy relations into a frequency-governed form of universal motion.

From pre-universal gravitational equilibrium (Appendices 9–10) to dual-state cosmic expansion and mass–energy reconfiguration (Appendices 16, 22, 30), ECM interprets the Universe’s origin as a self-triggered energetic emergence—an internal transition within a closed energetic domain rather than an externally driven explosion. This model reveals non-decelerative expansion and intrinsic force generation arising from negative apparent mass transitions (Appendix 17), establishing a deterministic, energy-conserving mechanism for cosmic inflation and dark energy without invoking a cosmological constant.

At the microphysical scale, ECM extends this unified logic to the photon, describing it as a dual-state oscillator with frequency-dependent mass displacements and gravitational coupling (Appendices 23, 32, 43). Within this framework, redshift, phase shift, and energy persistence emerge as direct consequences of the same ΔMᴍc² = hf transformation that governs cosmological expansion, thereby linking quantum oscillation with cosmic-scale evolution through continuous mass–frequency correspondence.

Overall, ECM presents a causally closed and energetically self-consistent cosmology in which existence itself is defined as a fluctuation of mass–energy density within a universal entropic–mass–frequency continuum. Time, gravity, and cosmic expansion emerge as derivative properties of internal energetic transitions, while dark energy, photon kinetics, and gravitational curvature appear as complementary outcomes of the same unified field process. This framework offers a deterministic, post-relativistic foundation for reinterpreting the origin, structure, and evolution of the Universe as expressions of continuous energetic symmetry.

Introduction

The emergence of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) represents a decisive advancement in the understanding of energy, motion, and existence. Building upon the classical foundations of Newtonian dynamics and the relativistic corrections of Einstein’s framework, ECM extends both by integrating mass–energy duality, entropic time distortion, and frequency-governed mechanics into a unified energetic continuum. In this view, the Universe is not fundamentally governed by geometric curvature but by continuous transformations among Mᵉᶠᶠ, Mᵃᵖᵖ, and −ΔMᵃᵖᵖ, whose interplay determines the dynamic evolution of all physical systems.

Conventional physics compartmentalizes mass, energy, and frequency—linking them only through relativistic or quantum boundaries. ECM dissolves these boundaries by expressing them as different aspects of a single field process governed by ΔMᴍc² = hf = KEᴇᴄᴍ. This fundamental equivalence reveals that both microcosmic (photon–wave interactions) and macrocosmic (cosmic expansion) phenomena arise from the same entropic–energetic transformations, not from external constraints or spacetime geometry.

ECM proposes that the Universe originated through an internal, self-triggered energetic reconfiguration—an equilibrium disturbance among pre-existing mass–energy densities. This interpretation replaces the conventional "Big Bang" explosion model with a self-generated expansion process governed by the transition of −ΔMᵃᵖᵖ into effective positive frequency and energy. Appendices 9 and 10 elaborate the pre-universal energetic symmetry, while Appendices 16, 22, and 30 describe the subsequent emergence of non-decelerative expansion driven by negative apparent mass displacement and entropic field realignment.

Within this extended formulation, gravity and electromagnetism emerge as complementary expressions of a unified energetic continuum—distinguished only by their mass–frequency coupling coefficients and directional entropic gradients. Thus, gravitational attraction and electromagnetic repulsion represent dual manifestations of the same differential −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ process governing mass–energy flow across the cosmic field. This reinterpretation reconciles cosmological expansion, redshift, and phase-shift phenomena within a deterministic, field-symmetric framework that requires no external constants or dark-energy parameters.

At the microphysical scale, ECM extends this reasoning to the photon, interpreting it as a dual-state oscillator possessing both gravitational and anti-gravitational properties through the transformation of ΔMᴍ. Appendices 23 and 32 demonstrate that photon motion, redshift, and phase persistence can all be expressed through the same ΔMᴍc² = hf equivalence, providing a unified explanation for energy quantization, propagation, and gravitational coupling.

Collectively, ECM dissolves the conceptual boundaries separating relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, presenting a post-relativistic yet classically coherent description of all physical interactions. Existence is thus redefined as a continuous transformation of effective and apparent masses within an entropic–mass–frequency continuum, where space and time emerge as consequences—not preconditions—of energetic transitions. This unified framework provides the theoretical foundation for reinterpreting dark energy, gravitational curvature, and photon kinetics as self-consistent products of internal field symmetry and entropic rebalancing.

Methodology

The methodological foundation of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) rests on the recognition that mass, energy, and frequency are dynamically interchangeable expressions of a single existential continuum. ECM employs a unified analytical framework governed by energetic transformations and frequency-driven dynamics, extending both classical and relativistic mechanics into an entropy-coupled energetic domain that inherently includes cosmological behavior.

ECM introduces two fundamental energetic entities — effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ) and apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) — representing dynamic energy states rather than static quantities. Their interaction through ΔMᴍ and −ΔMᵃᵖᵖ defines the mass–frequency transformation ΔMᴍc² = hf = KEᴇᴄᴍ, establishing the equivalence between oscillatory motion and energetic emergence across all scales.

The frequency-governed kinetic energy relation serves as the starting point:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = (ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᵉᴮʳᵒᵍˡᶦᵉ⁾ + ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾˡᵃⁿᶜᵏ⁾)c²

This framework unifies the de Broglie and Planck transitions into a single dynamic continuum. ECM generalizes total energy as:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc²,
with Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ and ΔMᴍ ≡ Mᵃᵖᵖ.

By interpreting the Planck-channel effective energy as a field-saturated potential, we identify Mᵉᶠᶠc² → Mᵉᶠᶠ gᵉᶠᶠ ℎ, and the photon–gravitational interaction is captured via ½ Mᵃᵖᵖc² ≡ Mɢinteractional. This leads to the refined total energy expression:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠ gᵉᶠᶠ ℎ + Mᵃᵖᵖ c²

This form explicitly captures the coexistence of intrinsic (Planck-channel) and motion-/field-interactive (de Broglie–gravitational) energy states. It restores mechanical causality across both cosmological and quantum domains and emphasizes that the photon’s total energy arises from the combined contributions of its effective and apparent mass components, without invoking the classical ½ factor.


At the cosmological scale, ECM applies an internal energy reconfiguration model (derived from Appendices 9–10, 16, 17, 22, and 30), wherein the Universe’s evolution is formulated as a cyclic process of mass–energy redistribution within a closed energetic domain. Negative effective mass (−Mᵉᶠᶠ) transitions generate repulsive counteraction against gravitational mass (Mᴍ), reproducing dark-energy-like behavior as a natural outcome of field disequilibrium rather than an imposed cosmological constant.

In the microphysical domain, ECM treats the photon as a dual-state oscillator (Appendices 23, 32) with both gravitational and anti-gravitational attributes: ΔMᴍc² = hf = −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ. Its total energy consists of the inherent mass component (ΔMᴍ,ᵢₙₕₑᵣₑₙₜ) and interactional mass component (ΔMᴍ,ᵢₙₜₑᵣₐ𝚌ₜᵢₒₙₐₗ ≡ ΔMɢ), the latter reflecting temporary coupling with the gravitational field.

Cross-domain validation is ensured by analyzing the invariance of energetic transformations, field continuity, and differential evolution of Mᵉᶠᶠ, −Mᵃᵖᵖ, and ΔMᴍ across microphysical and cosmological scales. ECM maintains consistency with classical mechanics while incorporating entropy, time distortion, and cyclic field renewal.

Overall, ECM emphasizes: (1) Mass–frequency equivalence; (2) Negative effective mass (−Mᵉᶠᶠ) as the repulsive driver of post-inflationary expansion; (3) Potential-to-kinetic transformation as the origin of cosmic eventfulness; and (4) Entropic–temporal coupling as the underlying measure of cosmological evolution. Through these principles, ECM provides a deterministic, field-symmetric, and cyclically self-renewing framework consistent with conformal cyclic cosmology, where each aeon emerges from the entropic culmination of the previous.

Mathematical Presentation

The mathematical construct of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) extends the classical energy–mass equivalence into a frequency-governed, entropy-coupled, and cosmologically self-regulating continuum. Within this continuum, mass–energy transitions are represented as dynamic transformations of effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ), apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ), and negative effective mass (−Mᵉᶠᶠ), each denoting a distinct phase in the conversion of latent potentiality into kinetic eventfulness.

The fundamental ECM expression for frequency-governed kinetic energy establishes the energetic link between matter transitions and oscillatory behavior:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = (ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᵉᴮʳᵒᵍˡᶦᵉ⁾ + ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾˡᵃⁿᶜᵏ⁾)c² = ΔMᴍc² = hf

This relation unifies Planck’s quantization with de Broglie’s wave mechanics, illustrating how ΔMᴍ manifests as a measurable frequency. The process marks the transition from a non-eventful potential energy state to an eventful kinetic state — the emergence of motion, frequency, and time as consequences of internal energetic asymmetry rather than external geometry.

Gravitational and inertial dynamics are reformulated through the effective force relation:

Fᴇᴄᴍ = Mᵉᶠᶠ aᵉᶠᶠ = −ΔMᵃᵖᵖ gᴇᴄᴍ

Here, aᵉᶠᶠ denotes acceleration arising from internal field gradients, and gᴇᴄᴍ represents the effective gravitational interaction governed by energy-density differentials. The term −Mᵉᶠᶠ introduces repulsive inertia, balancing attractive gravitational mass (Mᴍ) and giving rise to accelerated cosmological expansion — a dynamic substitute for the cosmological constant.

The fundamental transformation of potential into kinetic existence is expressed as:

−ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ = ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ = ΔMᴍc²

This identity formalizes the cosmogenic shift from static equilibrium to dynamic manifestation. The potential energy deficit −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ signifies the collapse of latent energetic symmetry, while ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ represents the spontaneous emergence of activity — the very onset of the eventful universe from its pre-eventful state of equilibrium.

ECM’s temporal relation bridges entropy and energy asymmetry:

Δt = t₍cₒₛ₎ − t₍cl₎ = f(ΔMᵉᶠᶠ, −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ, ΔS)

Here, t₍cₒₛ₎ represents cosmic time emerging from evolving entropic configurations, while t₍cl₎ denotes the equilibrium reference or clock time. The deviation Δt quantifies entropic time distortion — a fundamental ECM measure of how energetic asymmetry modulates the perceived flow of time across cosmic epochs.

The total energy expression of ECM, extended to cosmological scale, is formulated as:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠv² + ½Mᵉᶠᶠc² − ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ = constant

This conservation form reveals that cosmic evolution operates within a closed energetic domain. During the post-inflationary equilibrium (Mᴍ ≈ −Mᵉᶠᶠ), expansion halts briefly, followed by the dominance of −Mᵉᶠᶠ leading to repulsive acceleration and large-scale structure formation. As ΔMᵉᶠᶠ → 0 and ΔS → maximum, the universe approaches a conformal state of complete entropic symmetry, enabling a seamless transition into the next cosmic aeon as proposed in Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology.

Thus, ECM mathematically unifies mass, frequency, energy, entropy, and time as continuous variables within a single self-renewing causal fabric. This formulation establishes a deterministic yet cyclic cosmology — one that evolves through recurring transformations between potential and kinetic existence, preserving the universal law of energetic continuity across successive aeons.

Results:

The mathematical analysis within the Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) framework demonstrates a consistent progression from a non-eventful potential energy state (−ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ) to an eventful kinetic energy state (ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ), where the conversion ΔMᴍc² = −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ = ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ defines the foundational mechanism for universal formation. This transition signifies the transformation of existence from a quiescent state of zero-motion equilibrium into an oscillatory, frequency-governed dynamic state characterized by increasing entropic complexity.

The computational relations derived show that during the earliest epoch, when Mᴍ ≈ −Mᵉᶠᶠ, the universe reached a brief state of near-halt equilibrium following a rapid inflationary phase. The emergence of −Mᵉᶠᶠ (negative effective mass) as a repulsive counterpart to gravitational mass initiated an anti-gravitational phase that transitioned the cosmos from an inflationary burst into an accelerated expansion. This repulsive expansion phase is consistent with the observed late-time acceleration of the universe and aligns with the ECM postulate that negative effective mass acts as a dynamic agent countering gravitational contraction.

The results further indicate that the energy symmetry between ΔMᴍ and −ΔMᵉᶠᶠ ensures conservation across cosmic transitions, defining a natural cyclic sequence of creation, expansion, and entropic dissipation. The universe thus evolves through self-regulating transformations governed by effective mass-energy feedback, ensuring both thermodynamic continuity and ontological conservation.

Discussion:

The ECM interpretation of universal evolution harmonizes with the conceptual foundation of Roger Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), which envisions an infinite succession of cosmic aeons. In ECM terms, the transition from non-eventful potential energy (−ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ) to eventful kinetic existence (ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ) represents the existential shift that defines the birth of each aeon. When the universe approaches a maximal entropic state, where matter and radiation attain negligible rest mass, Mᵉᶠᶠ → 0, the effective spacetime curvature asymptotically vanishes, and the system becomes conformally invariant.

In this terminal phase, all residual structures transition toward a homogeneous energy distribution dominated by repulsive −Mᵉᶠᶠ fields, leading to the dissolution of gravitational clustering and the emergence of a conformally flat geometry. ECM interprets this as the completion of an entropic cycle — the universe attaining its highest possible disorder — where time, as an emergent measure of entropic transformation, loses physical distinctiveness. The subsequent convergence of the potential field prepares the foundation for the next cycle’s initiation, re-emerging as a new eventful kinetic domain — the Big Beginning of the next aeon.

Thus, in both ECM and CCC perspectives, the universe does not end in a singular collapse but continuously renews through the entropic–potential–kinetic continuum. The ECM equations imply that ΔMᴍ ↔ −ΔMᵉᶠᶠ serves as the mediating principle of this cyclic transformation, ensuring that the energy structure of one aeon forms the seed of the next. The cosmological arrow of time, therefore, emerges from the ongoing asymmetry between mass condensation and anti-gravitational dispersion, embodying the eternal dynamic equilibrium of existence itself.

Conclusion and Implications

The framework of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) redefines the evolution of the Universe as a cyclic continuum of energetic transformation rather than a singular beginning or terminal collapse. Within this continuum, all physical phenomena — from microscopic oscillations to cosmological expansion — arise through continuous interconversion of mass, energy, frequency, and entropy. This continuity replaces the geometric curvature of space–time with energy-density differentials and field-symmetric causality, providing a deterministic foundation for cosmic regeneration.

The Universe, in this interpretation, originates from a non-eventful potential energy equilibrium where −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ dominates — a state devoid of motion, time, or entropy. The emergence of ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ marks the first transition into eventful existence, as potential energy collapses into frequency-governed kinetic energy (ΔMᴍc² = hf), initiating both temporal progression and spatial differentiation. This defines the cosmogenic act of becoming — the transformation from static potentiality to dynamic eventfulness.

The ECM principle of negative effective mass (−Mᵉᶠᶠ) serves as the universal counteractive driver that explains the post-inflationary repulsive acceleration. When Mᴍ ≈ −Mᵉᶠᶠ, a brief energetic equilibrium halts expansion momentarily, followed by repulsive reactivation that expands the material universe. This self-regulating mechanism eliminates the need for a cosmological constant, interpreting dark energy instead as a natural consequence of internal energetic symmetry.

As the Universe expands, entropy (ΔS) continuously increases, driving the redistribution of Mᵉᶠᶠ and −Mᵉᶠᶠ toward equilibrium. Over cosmic time, ΔMᵉᶠᶠ → 0 and ΔS → maximum, leading the Universe into a state of conformal uniformity — an entropically saturated and dynamically quiescent phase. At this boundary condition, effective energy differentials vanish, flattening the cosmological field and rendering all massive entities indistinguishable within a single conformal horizon.

In this ECM–CCC synthesis, the final state of one aeon becomes the initial potential field of the next. The conformal flattening at infinite expansion acts as a bridge of energetic continuity, where the complete homogenization of energy and entropy reconstitutes the non-eventful equilibrium from which the next cycle begins. Thus, the Big Bang is not a singular creation event but a phase reset in an unbroken sequence of energetic transformations — each aeon succeeding the last through intrinsic field regeneration.

This model situates existence within an eternal, cyclic, and self-consistent framework. Time, entropy, and motion emerge and dissolve together, bound by the universal equivalence:

ΔMᴍc² = hf = −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ = ΔKEᴇᴄᴍ = constant (across aeons)

The implications of this synthesis extend beyond cosmology. It provides a foundational basis for unifying quantum oscillations, gravitational interactions, and cosmic evolution within a single energetic continuum — one that cyclically renews itself through potential-to-kinetic transitions governed by frequency and entropy. The same principle that defines the motion of a photon also defines the destiny of the Universe: a perpetual oscillation between order and disorder, between stillness and expansion, between existence and reformation.

In conclusion, ECM portrays the cosmos as an eternal energetic organism — self-balancing, self-renewing, and causally complete. Its mathematical and philosophical structure converges with Penrose’s conformal cyclic vision while extending it into a deterministic energetic formalism. Each aeon, emerging from the last, is a rhythmic pulse in the infinite continuum of existence, ensuring that nothing is lost, only transformed.

Postscript — Declaration of Scientific Intention

The present work, grounded in the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), is not conceived merely as a reformulation of known physics but as an attempt to establish a continuity of existence — a seamless linkage between energy, mass, motion, and time across all scales of manifestation. In this perspective, what we perceive as physical laws are emergent symmetries of a deeper mass–energy equivalence, where both attraction and repulsion are complementary aspects of one continuous existential field.

This declaration is not to claim finality but to outline an intention — that science and philosophy converge upon a single principle of conserved existence, manifesting through cycles of order and disorder, contraction and expansion, death and rebirth. The ECM framework, through its variables of Mᵉᶠᶠ, −Mᵃᵖᵖ, and aᵉᶠᶠ, aims to reveal how entropy, time distortion, and gravitational asymmetry coalesce to define the rhythm of cosmic recurrence.

The intention underlying this exploration is to reclaim determinism without denying emergence — to reinterpret apparent randomness and quantum uncertainty as consequences of underlying frequency-governed mass transformations. Through this, the ECM approach envisions a unified comprehension of physical reality where the cosmological, the quantum, and the entropic are harmonized in a single framework of existence.

The author acknowledges that this path traverses the boundary between classical mechanics and metaphysical reasoning — yet it remains scientific in purpose, logical in structure, and falsifiable in its predictive reach. It seeks to realign physics with its foundational motive: to understand why existence transitions from potential to kinetic, from static being to dynamic becoming.

“Let this not be a conclusion, but a continuity of thought — that from every culmination of order, the next aeon begins anew.”

Author’s Note

This work emerges as a continuing exploration of the principles of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) — an evolving theoretical framework seeking to harmonize the foundational domains of physics through the unifying lens of mass–energy transformation and entropic time distortion. Every derivation, relation, and cosmological inference presented herein arises from a conviction that the fabric of reality is not fragmented between classical and quantum realms but is instead continuous, self-regulating, and cyclical in essence.

The author acknowledges that this approach reinterprets conventional notions of gravitation, inertia, and energy conservation, yet it remains deeply rooted in the discipline of classical reasoning extended to its logical, frequency-dependent limits. It is through this continuity — between the deterministic and the probabilistic, the macroscopic and the quantum — that ECM aspires to restore the coherence of physical understanding.

The development of ECM is ongoing, and this paper represents a stage in that unfolding. Future elaborations will refine the mathematical expressions, validate theoretical predictions, and strengthen the bridge between ECM formulations and observational cosmology. This journey, therefore, is not a conclusion but a step toward a unified comprehension of existence itself.
