The Complete Graph K₄ on {Energy, Mass, Space, Time} and its Structural Consequences

Conventional physics treats energy as derived from mass, space, and time, but two empirical properties support treating energy as co-fundamental: conservation in transformations among the other three (1+3 asymmetry), and interconvertibility with mass at the exact rate c² (2+2 symmetry). Physics has kept space and time separate despite c fixing an exact rate between them; the same reasoning keeps energy and mass separate under c². The four quantities and their six pairwise ratios form K₄, the unique Kₙ (n ≥ 4) admitting a single 1-factorization, forcing the 2+2 partition while honoring the 1+3; this graph is here named the quadrex. The three matching (skew) pairs align one-to-one with the three regimes of the c–G–h classification; the four faces correspond to four physics domains, and the six face-pairings correspond to six areas of physics. The bridge identity P · μ = F/m̄ (Power, linear density, Force, and temporality, respectively) expresses gravity and quantum mechanics as inverse algebraic readings of the same dimensional content. The gravity ratio Ξ = (P/μ)/c³, with one structural axiom, gives the static vacuum metric coefficients a graph-theoretic reading, reached through either non-relativity matching. Three independent graph properties separate the three regimes, including a relativistic involution; three Hamiltonian cycles realize the same partition. The Schwarzschild and Hawking equations admit Planck-anchored rewrites in the same terms. Worked examples trace dissipative and concentrative energy across quadrexes; an appendix verifies dimensional completeness across six domains and all SI base units.

Abstract

Conventional physics treats energy as derived from mass, space, and time, but two empirical properties support treating energy as co-fundamental: conservation in transformations among the other three (1+3 asymmetry), and interconvertibility with mass at the exact rate c² (2+2 symmetry). Physics has kept space and time separate despite c fixing an exact rate between them; the same reasoning keeps energy and mass separate under c². The four quantities and their six pairwise ratios form K₄, the unique Kₙ (n ≥ 4) admitting a single 1-factorization, forcing the 2+2 partition while honoring the 1+3; this graph is here named the quadrex. The three matching (skew) pairs align one-to-one with the three regimes of the c–G–h classification; the four faces correspond to four physics domains, and the six face-pairings correspond to six areas of physics. The bridge identity P · μ = F/m̄ (Power, linear density, Force, and temporality, respectively) expresses gravity and quantum mechanics as inverse algebraic readings of the same dimensional content. The gravity ratio Ξ = (P/μ)/c³, with one structural axiom, gives the static vacuum metric coefficients a graph-theoretic reading, reached through either non-relativity matching. Three independent graph properties separate the three regimes, including a relativistic involution; three Hamiltonian cycles realize the same partition. The Schwarzschild and Hawking equations admit Planck-anchored rewrites in the same terms. Worked examples trace dissipative and concentrative energy across quadrexes; an appendix verifies dimensional completeness across six domains and all SI base units.
