The Compressodynamics Framework: A Medium-Based Interpretation of General Relativity with Testable Consequences

This deposit presents the complete Compressodynamics framework, which reinterprets General Relativity through the lens of a compressible spacetime medium. The work consists of two complementary documents:

1. "Compressodynamics" (Foundation): This document develops the theoretical foundation, showing how Einstein's field equations can be reinterpreted as describing the compression and decompression dynamics of a continuous medium. It maintains mathematical compatibility with all verified predictions of General Relativity while providing a mechanical basis for phenomena that remain abstract in the standard geometric interpretation.

2. "Compression Dynamics: Radical Predictions and Experimental Consequences": This companion document derives the testable implications that distinguish the compression framework from standard General Relativity. It outlines specific, falsifiable predictions including:

   • Physical variation of light speed in gravitational fields

   • Horizonless black holes with light-freezing surfaces

   • Resolution of the cosmological horizon problem without inflation

   • Variation of the fine-structure constant in high-compression regions

   • Modified electromagnetic behavior in strong gravity

Together, these documents present a coherent alternative to the geometric interpretation of spacetime, offering intuitive mechanical explanations for gravitational phenomena while remaining empirically viable. The framework suggests that General Relativity represents the low-compression limit of a deeper physical theory, with detectable consequences in strong-field regimes and early universe cosmology.

The work provides a clear roadmap for experimental falsification through solar system tests, black hole observations, gravitational wave analysis, and cosmological measurements.
