DST - Conceptual Foundations and Open Questions

This document presents the conceptual foundations of the Dynamic Substrate Theory (DST), beginning with two premises: “Time is matter” and “Gravity emerges from the fundamental electromagnetism of matter.” It proposes a physical constitution underlying space, measurable time, ordinary matter, and gravitational phenomena. These ideas are presented as hypotheses under development, intended for critical discussion. The document does not demonstrate the emergence of gravity, establish observational validation, or reinstate the claims of derivation or validation made in earlier manuscripts. It has not undergone independent scientific review or a comprehensive literature review. Its originality remains to be assessed. The purpose of this deposit is to document the conceptual proposal, identify unresolved questions, and make it available for scrutiny by the scientific community.
