Æther Biological Paper V: Field Theory of Pathological Bifurcations

Auteur : Vincent Aufray

Abstract

This work introduces a unified field-theoretic description of pathological transitions across biological systems, extending the ΔM/Æther framework beyond physics into living matter.
The paper formulates a generalized Klein–Gordon-type dynamics that governs bifurcations in tissues, neural assemblies, and systemic regulation. By interpreting disease as a phase transition driven by shifts in an effective field potential, the model reproduces hallmark features of cancer progression, chronic inflammation and metabolic collapse.

A universal early-warning signature emerges from the theory: the softening of the effective mass meff2m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2meff2, loss of restoring forces, and divergence of correlation length preceding pathological state changes. The framework naturally predicts multiscale couplings (tissue ↔ neural ↔ systemic), identifies biomarkers associated with field destabilization, and provides a mathematically principled explanation for why diverse diseases share common dynamical precursors.

This paper establishes the mathematical foundation, biological interpretation, and universal predictions of the Field Theory of Pathological Bifurcations, forming the fifth installment of the Æther research program.
