Fundamental Total Energy in Extended Classical Mechanics

Total Energy Formulation and ECM Derivation

This section presents the formal derivation of the total energy relation in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM). It redefines total energy as a mass–energy redistribution process between intrinsic (effective) and field-interactive (apparent) components, rather than a mere sum of rest and motion terms. Kinetic energy is expressed through dual frequency-governed mass decrements — ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᴮ⁾ and ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾ⁾ — representing the de Broglie and Planck regimes, respectively. The resulting formulation unifies matter-based and field-based energy transitions into a continuous mechanical–frequency correspondence, preserving total energy conservation while extending its interpretation across classical, quantum, and cosmological scales.

Scope and Definitions

Where:
• gᵉᶠᶠ — effective gravitational factor coupling mass distribution to local energy-density variation.
• ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᴮ⁾ and ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾ⁾ — de Broglie-type and Planck-type frequency mass-decrement terms.
• c — constant velocity of light in vacuum, linking rest mass and field-interaction energy.

1. Classical Alignment and ECM Transition

Classically, total energy is expressed as:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = PE + KE. (3.1)

In ECM, this structure is preserved but expanded through mass redistribution between intrinsic and field-exchanged states:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = (PEᴇᴄᴍ − ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ) + ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ. (3.2)

Rewriting in mass–energy terms yields:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = (Mᴍ − ΔMᴍ)c² + ΔMᴍc². (3.3)

Therefore:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc², where Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ, ΔMᴍ ≡ Mᵃᵖᵖ. (3.4)

This shows conservation through internal redistribution:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᴍc². (3.5)

2. Dual-Mass Formulation of Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy in ECM arises from two concurrent mass states: the effective (static) and the apparent (field-interactive):

KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½Mᴍv² (classical alignment). (3.6)

Expanding under ECM redistribution:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½[(Mᴍ − ΔMᴍ) + ΔMᴍ]v² = ½(Mᵉᶠᶠ + Mᵃᵖᵖ)v². (3.7)

Hence:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠv² + ½Mᵃᵖᵖv². (3.8)

For photon-like states (v = c):

KEᴇᴄᴍ, photon = ½Mᵉᶠᶠc² = ½(Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ)c². (3.9)

Considering both intrinsic and interactional mass displacements:

KEᴇᴄᴍ, photon = ½(−Mᵃᵖᵖ, inherent − Mᵃᵖᵖ, interactional)c² = ½(−2Mᵃᵖᵖ)c² = Mᵃᵖᵖc². (3.10)

Thus, the photon’s kinetic energy is entirely generated by apparent-mass displacement — a self-sustaining field-exchange process.

3. Frequency-Governed Mass Decomposition

ECM identifies kinetic energy as the manifestation of two coupled mass-decrement regimes:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = (ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᴮ⁾ + ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾ⁾)c² = ΔMᴍc² = hf. (3.11)

This correspondence demonstrates that matter-origin (de Broglie) and field-origin (Planck) dynamics form a continuous energetic spectrum, allowing a single conservation law to govern both mechanical and photonic regimes.

4. Frequency–Gravity Equivalence Formulation

The total energy in ECM can also be expressed in gravitationally equivalent form:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠgᵉᶠᶠh + Mᵃᵖᵖc². (3.12)

where Mᵉᶠᶠgᵉᶠᶠh ≡ Mᵉᶠᶠc². The term ½Mᵃᵖᵖc² ≡ Mɢ_{interactional} represents the photon–gravitational interaction component, showing that gravitational influence arises from field-mediated mass transitions, not geometric curvature.

5. Interpretative Implications

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc² establishes a mechanical–frequency symmetry fundamental to ECM.

• All energy transitions conserve total mass–energy through redistribution between Mᵉᶠᶠ and Mᵃᵖᵖ.
• Frequency variation arises from mass-decrement transformations rather than geometric dilation.
• Gravitational and photonic energies share the same mechanical root — differential energy density within the effective mass field.

This conclusion aligns directly with Appendices 20 (Frequency Scaling), 23 (Energy Transformation Mechanics), 31 (Wave–Mass Equivalence), 32 (Energy Density Structures), and 40 (Empirical Insights).

Kinetic Energy Expressions in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)

In classical mechanics, total energy is conventionally expressed as:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = PE + KE

Here, potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) are separable forms of mechanical storage and motion. In Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), this classical expression retains its structure but is extended in substance, incorporating field-exchange and apparent-mass interactions that bridge static and dynamic manifestations of energy.

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = PE + KE			(Classical alignment)
Eₜₒₜₐₗ = (PEᴇᴄᴍ - ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ) + ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ 	(ECM transition form)
Eₜₒₜₐₗ = (Mᴍ - ΔMᴍ)c² + ΔMᴍc²		(Mass–energy correspondence)
Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc²		where Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ and ΔMᴍ ≡ Mᵃᵖᵖ
⇒ Eₜₒₜₐₗ = Mᴍc²			(Conservation maintained)
  

Thus, total energy remains invariant, but ECM explicitly partitions it into a static-effective component (Mᵉᶠᶠ) and a field-exchanged dynamic component (Mᵃᵖᵖ). When Mᵃᵖᵖ < 0, it indicates a field-induced energy outflow or exchange, rather than an additive mass contribution.

Dual-Mass Formulation of Kinetic Energy

KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½Mᴍv²                                    (Classical alignment)
KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½[(Mᴍ - ΔMᴍ) + ΔMᴍ]v²            (ECM transitional form)
KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½[Mᵉᶠᶠ + Mᵃᵖᵖ]v²
KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠv² + ½Mᵃᵖᵖv²                      where Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ
  

For photon-like dynamic states where v = c, kinetic energy simplifies to a field-interaction equivalence:

KEᴇᴄᴍ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠc²
               = ½(Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ)c²
               = ½(−Mᵃᵖᵖ,ᵢₙₕₑᵣₑₙₜ − Mᵃᵖᵖ,ᵢₙₜₑᵣₐᴄₜᵢₒₙₐₗ)c²
               = ½(−2Mᵃᵖᵖ)c²
               = Mᵃᵖᵖc²
  

Here, −Mᵃᵖᵖ,ᵢₙₕₑᵣₑₙₜ represents the displacement from electron mass (−ΔMₑ), and −Mᵃᵖᵖ,ᵢₙₜₑᵣₐᴄₜᵢₒₙₐₗ arises from the source gravitational field (−ΔMɢ).

ΔMᴍ⁽ᵈᵉᴮʳᵒᵍˡᶦᵉ⁾  ⇒  −Mᵃᵖᵖ,ᵢₙₕₑᵣₑₙₜ   (Intrinsic matter displacement)
ΔMᴍ⁽ᴾˡᵃⁿᶜᵏ⁾     ⇒  −ΔMɢ              (Field-interaction contribution)
  

Consequently, for photons and analogous massless entities:

KEᴇᴄᴍ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ = Mᵃᵖᵖc²        where ±Mᵃᵖᵖ ≡ ±ΔMᴍ
  

This shows that the entire kinetic energy arises from the apparent-mass transition — the intrinsic field-exchange mechanism governing photon dynamics in ECM.

Frequency-Governed Extension

ECM extends the kinetic interpretation into a frequency–mass continuum:

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

Unifying both de Broglie and Planck transitions into one cohesive expression of dynamic equivalence. ECM generalizes the total kinetic energy for field-governed motion as:

KEᴇᴄᴍ = ½(Mᵉᶠᶠ + Mᵃᵖᵖ)v²
  

For the photon-like limit (v = c):

KEₜₒₜₐₗ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc²
  

This formulation defines field-governed effective motion, where acceleration (aᵉᶠᶠ) and force (Fᴇᴄᴍ) emerge naturally from energy-density gradients, rather than geometric curvature — thereby restoring mechanical causality to cosmological expansion, ensuring continuity between matter, frequency, and energy transformation.

Photon’s Inherent and Interactional Mass Components in ECM

Within Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), photons are not truly “massless” but represent a mass-neutralized state where intrinsic and field-coupled negative mass components coexist and balance dynamically. Their mechanical representation begins as:

Mᴍ = Mᵉᶠᶠ + Mᵃᵖᵖ

where:

• Mᴍ < 0 — intrinsic or inherent mechanical mass (static negative foundation)
• Mᵉᶠᶠ < 0 — field-coupled effective mass (dynamic state containing Mᴍ)
• Mᵃᵖᵖ < 0 — negative apparent mass (field-exchange component)
• Mᵃᵖᵖ ≡ ΔMᴍ — transitional mass exchanged dynamically through field interaction

1. Inherent and Interactional Components

During photon emission, two distinct but coupled mass–energy transitions occur:

1. ΔMᴍ_inherent — the intrinsic negative mass portion converted to energy at emission, defining the photon’s self-energy or frequency-origin component.
2. ΔMɢ_{interactional} ≡ ΔMᴍ_{interactional} — the field-induced displacement arising from the source’s gravitational potential well, representing the gravitationally modulated component.

Together they define the total dynamic mass transition:

ΔMᴍₜₒₜₐₗ = ΔMᴍ_inherent + ΔMɢ_interactional

Thus, the photon’s total emission energy becomes:

Eₚₕₒₜₒₙ,ₑₘᵢₛₛᵢₒₙ = (ΔMᴍ_inherent + ΔMɢ_interactional)c²

2. Gravitational Field as Dynamic Contributor

As the photon ascends from its source’s gravitational potential, the interactional component (ΔMɢ_interactional) is progressively expended as energy corresponding to the observed gravitational redshift. The inherent component (ΔMᴍ_inherent) remains conserved, maintaining the photon’s self-energy in free propagation.

Therefore:

Eₚₕₒₜₒₙ,₍dᵢₛₜₐₙₜ₎ = ΔMᴍ_inherent c²
ΔE = ΔMɢ_interactional c²  ⟶  (gravitational redshift)
  

This identifies the gravitational field as a dynamic energy-participating medium rather than a passive geometric curvature.

3. Unified Energy Formulation

Combining the inherent and interactional contributions under ECM’s frequency–mass equivalence, the photon’s kinetic energy relation is expressed as:

KEₜₒₜₐₗ,ₚₕₒₜₒₙ = ½Mᵉᶠᶠc² + Mᵃᵖᵖc²

Here, Mᵉᶠᶠ < 0 represents the effective component containing the intrinsic mechanical mass (Mᴍ), while −Mᵃᵖᵖ corresponds to the field-displaced mass (ΔMɢ_interactional). Consequently, the photon’s apparent energy originates from ΔMᴍ_inherent and evolves through ΔMɢ_interactional as it propagates through the gravitational field.

In this interpretation, gravitational and electromagnetic influences are unified under ECM as mechanical–energetic continuities, establishing that field gradients are not passive curvatures but active mass–energy redistributors in dynamic equilibrium.
