Order Variation Theory (OVT-14FT) 4.0: The Essence of Motion – Ontological Stillness, Motion as Perceptual Phase Decoding IV

Abstract Existing physical systems define motion as the spatial displacement of matter, laying the foundation for mechanics and spacetime theories. This paper reanalyzes the issue based on the fundamental framework of Order Variation Theory and puts forward an innovative core viewpoint. Ontologically speaking, there exists no entity displacement motion in the universe. Fundamental material units permanently stay at their fixed intrinsic spatial positions. Observed dynamic phenomena including object migration and position change are essentially decoding mappings generated by perceptual systems responding to primitive phase rotation and field state evolution. Supported by axiom deduction, mathematical modeling and real-world phenomenon verification, this paper establishes a logically closed demonstration on the essence of motion, and distinguishes hierarchical gaps between objective cosmic laws and subjective perceptual appearances. It forms hierarchical complementary relations with classical physics, relativity and quantum mechanics, and provides a novel theoretical perspective for exploring the origin of spacetime and motion.
