Universal Refinement Dynamics: A PSG Unification of Hurricanes, Black Holes, and Plate Tectonics

This paper presents a unified physical framework showing that hurricanes, black holes, and plate tectonic systems are expressions of the same underlying refinement dynamics acting on different substrates. Using Phase‑Structure Geometry (PSG), the study demonstrates that large‑scale natural phenomena share a common three‑part structure: a stable core, a sharp critical boundary, and a turbulent exterior. Atmospheric vortices, spacetime collapses, and lithospheric shear zones differ only in the fiber structure of their substrates, not in their governing dynamics. The paper derives the refinement‑flow equation J=−α∇Kn, maps classical PDEs to PSG, and provides a substrate‑agnostic explanation for vortices, collapse, and shear. This work offers a unified generative geometry for planetary, geophysical, and astrophysical systems.

Abstract

This paper presents a unified physical framework showing that hurricanes, black holes, and plate tectonic systems are expressions of the same underlying refinement dynamics acting on different substrates. Using Phase‑Structure Geometry (PSG), the study demonstrates that large‑scale natural phenomena share a common three‑part structure: a stable core, a sharp critical boundary, and a turbulent exterior. Atmospheric vortices, spacetime collapses, and lithospheric shear zones differ only in the fiber structure of their substrates, not in their governing dynamics. The paper derives the refinement‑flow equation J=−α∇Kn, maps classical PDEs to PSG, and provides a substrate‑agnostic explanation for vortices, collapse, and shear. This work offers a unified generative geometry for planetary, geophysical, and astrophysical systems.
