The Minimal Limit of Yong — What Is the Layer Below the Planck Scale?

The Planck scale in physics (approximately 10-35 m) is usually treated as the "smallest observable scale": below it, spatiotemporal continuity fails, quantum gravitational effects dominate, and existing physical laws no longer apply. Yet one crucial question has long been avoided: what exists below the Planck scale? This paper proposes that the Planck scale is not the boundary of existence; it is the boundary of spatiotemporal continuity. The layer one order below the Planck scale is "the minimal limit of Yong"—the mode in which Yong exists before Yong has unfolded into spatiotemporal structure. It is still Yong, but it does not obey spatiotemporal continuity. The paper further argues that (1) below the Planck scale there is neither "nothing," nor "Ti," nor "void," but the state of Yong prior to the emergence of spacetime; (2) this layer is the direct physical-level counterpart of "0-self-reference" in Primordial Element Theory; (3) it is the starting point of the unfolding of the singularity—before spacetime emerges, relation is already present at this layer; and (4) the minimal limit of Yong is a structural boundary rather than a physical one—it does not obstruct existence, it merely changes the mode of existence.
