THE UNIFIED FLUIDIC UNIVERSE (UFU) MODEL: A MECHANICAL PARADIGM FOR VECTORIAL FLOW COSMOLOGY

Contemporary physics relies heavily on field-theoretic approaches and the addition of adhocentities such as dark matter to explain macro-scale phenomena. This manuscriptintroduces the Unified Fluidic Universe (UFU) model, redefining cosmology through thelens of fluid mechanics. We propose that the universe is a four-dimensional, continuoussuperfluid substrate (the Superfluid Vacuum Substrate, SVS) flowing perpetually in asingular vectorial direction. By redefining the speed of light as the intrinsic flow velocityof this substrate, we eliminate the paradoxes of relativity. Furthermore, this paperprovides a robust mechanical derivation of the Gravitational Constant (G) as amacroscopic measure of viscous drag, alongside hydrodynamic models for the strongnuclear force and electromagnetism. Through the "Trace Erasure Principle," we alsoestablish a strictly causal, unidirectional arrow of time. The UFU model offers a singular,cohesive mechanical narrative capable of superseding the fragmented standard models ofmodern physics.
