Drag-Scale-Object: A Complete Theoretical Framework

Drag-Scale-Object: A Complete Theoretical Framework This working paper presents the complete Drag-Scale-Object (DSO) framework, proposing that Energy (E) is the sole fundamental constituent of physical reality. The framework unifies quantum mechanics, galaxy dynamics, and cosmology from first principles through three primitives—Drag (D), Scale (Ω), and Object (O)—governed by the master equation αΩ = D · Ω · O and the reformulated mass-energy equivalence E = DC².Ontology:This paper is the canonical definition of the DSO framework.All other DSO-related works should be read as companions to this document.” Mathematical derivations include: Planck's constant from geometry: ℏ = (γ/2π)(c³/G)ℓ² with γ ≈ 2.09 The Schrödinger equation from observer drift through Scale-space The Born rule as |ψ|² = D × E without additional postulates The Radial Acceleration Relation from E-threshold physics Empirical validation spans 15 domains: 175 SPARC galaxy rotation curves, CMB dark matter prediction (Ωdm = 0.261 vs Planck 0.265, 98.6% agreement), Hubble tension, cosmological lithium problem, Bullet Cluster, El Gordo collision (6.2σ ΛCDM tension), NGC 1052-DF2/DF4, JWST early galaxies, core-cusp problem, too-big-to-fail problem, baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, flyby anomaly, black hole jet-accretion correlations, magnetar glitch activity, and FRB periodicity. All predictions emerge from a single universal constant: g† = 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s². The framework reinterprets "dark matter" as Energy detected gravitationally but not baryonically—not a particle species—and black holes as conversion processes (ↄc) rather than spacetime singularities. Quantum puzzles including measurement, entanglement, and wave-particle duality dissolve as artifacts of the Drag-Scale relationship.
