White Matter Theory: A Unified Framework for the Emergence of Spacetime, Mass, and Quantum Fields

<b>White Matter Theory (WMT)</b> proposes a unified framework in which spacetime, mass, and quantum fields emerge from a more fundamental scalar field called <i>white matter</i>. Unlike traditional unification theories that attempt to quantize gravity or merge forces, WMT starts from a pregeometric foundation where the presence of white matter determines the very existence of spacetime itself.This paper develops a mathematical model that integrates general relativity and quantum field theory via white matter dynamics. Mass is generated through entropy gradients in white matter, black holes are modeled as white matter singularities, and the structure of quantum vacuum fluctuations arises naturally from the scalar field topology. The theory predicts specific observational consequences in void redshifts and vacuum structure, offering testable deviations from ΛCDM cosmology and standard quantum theory.We provide both theoretical derivations and a simulation pipeline (based on SDSS/BOSS void catalogs) to support key predictions. This foundational approach has implications for quantum gravity, dark energy, and cosmological structure formation.<b>Keywords:</b> White Matter Theory, spacetime emergence, mass generation, entropy wells, quantum field theory, general relativity, vacuum structure, quantum gravity, scalar field, unification, cosmology.
