Toward a Unified Ontology of the Collective Vacuum Model
his work develops a unified ontological framework for the Collective Vacuum Model (CVM), starting from the observed charged-lepton mass hierarchy and extending toward a common geometric and topological interpretation of leptons, baryons, quark families, gauge sectors, dark matter candidates, and the emergence of local Lorentz structure. The model combines a localized (3+1)-dimensional observable sector embedded in a higher-dimensional collective field, a (CP^1) spinorial structure for leptonic and weak degrees of freedom, (SU(3)) winding for baryonic topology, and a BCC-like microscopic organization of the observable vacuum. The framework distinguishes baryonic winding from electric charge, treats mass as localized field energy, and interprets the three quark generations as a topological-sector analogue of the same family geometry that organizes the charged-lepton hierarchy. Several consistency calculations are presented, including suppression of low-order BCC anisotropy, emergence of the Dirac/Clifford structure, localization of fermionic and gauge zero modes on a finite-width phase boundary, Skyrme-type stabilization of baryonic configurations, (CP^1\subset CP^2) deformation tests, and the appearance of an additional (SU(2)\times U(1))-sensitive channel in the third quark generation. The work does not claim a derivation of the Standard Model or quantum gravity. Its purpose is to show that a broad set of apparently separate particle-physics structures can be organized within one coherent field-theoretic ontology and to identify specific mathematical problems that can be tested independently in future work.
