Paper 28: Energy, Inertia, and Angular Momentum Conservation in the Holosphere Framework

This paper explains energy, inertia, momentum, and angular momentum using the Holosphere Theory, which models the universe as a lattice of nested, spinning structures instead of continuous fields. In this framework, energy is not a substance or number attached to a particle, but stored as strain created when nearby layers of the lattice are slightly out of alignment. Motion and interaction occur when this strain is redistributed through the lattice by small mobile defects. Inertia is explained as the lattice resisting changes to its internal alignment. When many layers are locked together, changing motion requires re-aligning a large region of the lattice, which naturally produces resistance. Momentum is the directed movement of alignment mismatch through the lattice, rather than mass moving through empty space. Angular momentum arises from stable, locked rotation patterns within and between lattice layers, including triadic spin structures, and remains conserved because the lattice enforces strict bookkeeping of rotational mismatch. Together, these ideas show that conservation laws emerge from geometric and topological constraints of the lattice itself, rather than from continuous spacetime symmetries. The results provide a structural explanation for why energy, momentum, and angular momentum are conserved, and motivate a future action-based formulation built from discrete phase transitions instead of continuous fields.
