Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The object of this article is to present a new theory based on the introduction of a non-material medium which makes it possible to obtain a Preferred Frame of Reference (in the context of special relativity) or a Reference (in the context of general relativity), that is to say a dynamic medium of reference. The theory of the dynamic medium of reference is an extension of Lorentz‐Poincaré’s theory in the domain of gravitation in which instruments (clocks, rulers) are perturbed by gravitation and where only the measure of the speed of light always gives the same result. The presence of a massive body creates a centripetal flux of the medium, which has three fundamental effects: the dilatation of the period of material clocks, the contraction of the length of material rulers, and the slowdown of light. Thanks to the centripetal flux of the medium and these three effects, it is possible to find the correct expression of the deflection of a ray of light and the Shapiro delay. The dynamic medium of reference allows to establish a gravitational transformation and to find the fundamental equations of movement for light and matter. Hence, the theory of the dynamic medium of reference allows to find the main results of general relativity, but with important differences: The simultaneity is absolute, existence of the Preferred Frame of Reference, the physical reality is the universal present moment and not a global space-time (block-universe), light is slowed down by a gravitational field.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
