Phase-Locked Vortex Substrate

A discrete geometric framework where spacetime, particles, and forces emerge from coupled vortex phasors.

This blog documents the development of PLVS — including new derivations, simulations, open problems, and responses to feedback.

Why Protons and Neutrons Stick Together: The Carry-Lock Mechanism

Nuclear

Phase Bubble

Geometry

The force that holds atomic nuclei together has been understood phenomenologically for decades. PLVS derives it geometrically — from the shape of the phase bubbles…

What is Mass? The Phase-Bubble Answer

Mass

Phase Bubble

Framework

In PLVS, mass is not a property a particle ‘has’. It is the energy stored in the boundary between a particle and the surrounding Ylem. This changes everything about how we…

The Koide Relation: A 40-Year Mystery Resolved by Register Geometry

Constants

Geometry

Leptons

In 1981 Yoshio Koide noticed that the three charged lepton masses satisfy a strikingly precise ratio. Nobody could explain why. PLVS derives it from the geometry of a phase…

Do the Defects Actually Survive? Testing PLVS Dynamically

Simulations

Dynamics

PLVS predicts that particles correspond to specific defect patterns in the Ylem lattice. But are those patterns genuinely stable? A simulation answers this directly.

Deriving the Fine-Structure Constant from Geometry

Constants

Geometry

The fine-structure constant α ≈ 1/137 is one of the most precisely measured numbers in physics. PLVS derives it from the geometry of a register collapse — no free parameters.
