The Universe as a Three-Rank Fractal Medium Part I: Undisturbed Medium, Fundamental Substrate (Graviton), Genesis of the Gravitational Field, and the Mechanism of Thermodynamic Self-Sustenance

Abstract
This paper proposes an alternative, quantum-thermodynamic, and wave-resonant model of the
Universe, conceptualized as a multi-scale (three-rank) fractal medium. Physical reality is defined
as a closed system constructed from a single type of fundamental, indestructible particle and
the structural vortex entities formed by it. All macro- and micro-scale interactions are reduced to
three fundamental pillars: density, elasticity, and momentum. In this first part of the monographic
series, the axiomatic properties of the undisturbed baseline medium of rank zero (the
G-medium) and its constituent element—the graviton—are introduced. The physical mechanism
of the transition to rank one is described, wherein the wave resonance of non-linear asymmetric
rotors (light and heavy neutrinos) generates local density gradients in the substrate, manifesting
macroscopically as the gravitational field. Finally, a closed-loop, cyclic thermodynamic process
(Coriolis recoil) is explained, which serves as the fundamental source of the perpetual motion of
matter without energy dissipation.
