Light, Flow, and the Fabric of Reality

A single scalar field replaces space and particles. Its vibrations generate form, charge, mass, and orientation. From one scalar equation, source-free Maxwell dynamics emerge without vector potentials or background geometry. The fundamental mode has a self-inverting topology: inward flow becomes outward flow. On galactic scales, the effective speed of light varies with local energy density, reproducing observed dark-matter effects without unseen particles or free parameters. Space appears as a stable recursion of the field, not a separate stage.
