Space-Time Dynamics &

Spime Mechanics

by Hugh M. Lewis

The spime-matrix suggests a rigid but flexible structure of the basic fabric of the universe. This fabric composes all physical reality, even the void that exists in the vast reaches of inter-galactic space. It must exist there, otherwise no electromagnetic radiation or gravitational radiation would cross such spaces, as the spime-matrix composes the fundamental propagational fields for these energies.

The problem of conceptualizing the universal spime matrix is to understand that everything that exists both within the matrix, and is also composed of the matrix. Whatever happens, happens within and to the matrix, and must be explained in terms that are reducible to the mechanics and dynamics of the structure of the spime matrix.

But the rigidity of this fabric is what is in question, as it is apparent that the fabric is inherently malleable and quite flexible, without its normal tearing or destruction.

Spime dynamics constitute the basis for the kind of gravitational-spime geometries reflected in Einstein's 10 variable tensor model of General Relativity. As a special case, it is also held basically to account for the general kinds of geometries that can be expected to occur within physical mass-bound objects composed of various forms of matter, especially in very massive objects. This latter case constitutes what I will refer to as Mass-Object Dynamics.

Spime dynamics must also account for the geometries that are used to explain thermodynamic radiation, and that are fundamentally different from the relativistic geometries. These differences, I allege, are accounted for by the inherent dualism that is embedded into the very fabric of the spime-matrix itself. This duality of structure reflects its basic spatio-temporal complementarity, and allows for two or more overlapping geometries of physical reality to coexist within the same construct simultaneously.

At the outset, I will assert that patterns of spime dynamics suggests patterns of spatiotemporal distribution, especially around heavy mass objects, which are better described in terms of fluids and hydraulic flow, than in terms of rigid or crystallitic structures. On the other hand, there is a sense of uniformity and constancy of pattern in areas of spatial "void" that suggest in general the pervasive occurrence more rigid, uniform and crystallitic structure.

This variability of pattern of space-time can be thought of as a kind of reversible sal-gel reaction. Basically, in the presence of massive gravitating objects, the surrounding space-time structure melts and flows into the structure on a continuous basis. The gravitational displacement and disequilibrium caused by the proximity of the object appears to be like a gravitational heat that liquifies the space-time matrix and causes its flow.

In the pattern of the flow, space-time becomes more elastic and variable, compared to what normally exists in deep space. Nevertheless, even in deep space the structure is not completely rigid or inflexible. Any object, of any size, essentially melts the space-time around it as it is in motion in space. In a sense, the inertia of acceleration is equivalent to the increased gradient of melting that must occur in the resulting transition.

Another way of describing this phenomena is to assert that all mass-objects are "hot" objects (gravitationally speaking) that melt the space-time matrix around them, to a distance that there is some minimum threshold reached when the structure obtains a more normal rigidity of pattern. This implies a minimal energy threshold in the spatialized state. Bodies at high velocities also become similarly hot as mechanical motion is the direct equivalent of the flow of space-time, and momentum is the equivalent of gravity in a direction.

This suggests that the normal spime matrix cohere in some minimum steady-state, at a threshold of spatialized energy that must be overcome in order for this melting process to begin to have a significant geometricized effect.

Though gravitational radiation resembles "heat" in this sense, and shares many thermodynamic properties, it is essentially non-thermodynamic in at least one important sense. Gravitational radiation appears to be continuous within the cycle of spime replacement/gravitational displacement, without exhaustion. Continuous radiation does not dissipate or exhaust the source of the radiation, which always appears to be a physical object of matter. Mass is not thereby dissipated. It is conserved. Otherwise, such radiation appears to behave almost exactly like thermodynamic energy and has many similar consequences.

The melting action of the spime matrix is essentially different from the propagational pattern of gravitational radiation that occurs beyond the boundary of the significant gravitational flow of spime into the mass body. At great distances, it is hypothesized that such melting action is relatively insignificant or else becomes canceled out by random gravitational noise in the background. Nevertheless, this gravitational radiation does appear to have at least one long distance consequence, and that is explainable in terms of its effects at a distance upon other mass-objects.

It is hypothesized that significant gravitational radiation from a distance can create an internal differential of gravitational pattern within the surrounding field and, perhaps, within the body itself. It becomes, on a statistical basis, a source of gravitational disequilibrium that results in the tendency of the object to shift its direction of motion in favor of the direction of the source of disequlibrium, if ever so slightly.

In a sense, even at very long distances, the strong gravitational heat of a large source of gravitational energy can effectively warm an object, just like light from the sun will continuously warm at least half of the planet earth at any one time.

This is not per se attraction at a distance so much as it is a continuous local reaction to differential energy sources that occur at long distance.

This leads to an hypothesis that gravitational energy, or what I refer to as gravitational radiation, is very similar to electromagnetic energy, and has many of the same consequences and patterns of propagation. It is possible in fact that it may actually propagate slightly faster than the speed of light. In terms of its inherent energy, its velocity is uniform and it does not appear to significantly lose its power through dissipation except perhaps through unknown processes of re-conversion to spime. There may be a similar process of shifting as occurs with light in gravitational fields that is the result of the loss of electromagnetic momentum. But it is sensible that this gradual loss of momentum would be very, very slight and occurs only over very vast stretches of space-time.

Gravitoids received from distant sources have the effect of impinging upon a gravitating body, entering that body, and displacing other gravitoids, resulting in increased gravitational displacement in the direction of gravitational reception. Spime from that direction is hotter, in a differential of gravity that tends to cause increasing flow from that direction. This differential can serve to literally push the body in that direction in physical motion, and thus can act as a form of acceleration.

In this manner, we can explain where motion in the universe originates. If we begin with a set of randomly distributed objects in space, like billiard balls cast upon a pool table, that were in theory absolutely motionless, then it can be predicted that in time, these balls would come to arrange themselves upon the table into some kind of gravity-system about some common center of gravity. The balls would exhibit continuous motion without outside sources of energy being required either for its origination or maintenance.

This effect I will call spontaneous gravitational acceleration of physical bodies resulting in dynamic directional motion.

Thus, such motion can be seen as being essentially time-independent patterns that follow spatialized geometries.

I believe that angular spin of gravitating objects can be accounted for on such a basis as well. Such spin has a net effect of smoothing the gravitational differentials of the surrounding field, perhaps averaging the displacement upon the body as a whole, and is thus similar to the basic principle that all mass seeks unity with itself.

At this stage, there is another important set of considerations involved in understanding spime dynamics. This has to do with the spatial distributions of spime within objects of mass.

Essentially, the internal distribution of any object of matter that is fixed and relatively permanent. It is relatively unchanging, at least in a spatial sense. It can be said in such circumstances that spime is bound within a rigid matrix structure that results in unusually high-density distributions of spime. The binding energies of such patterns seem fairly well described by the covering law model. Within such a density distribution, it is expected that the matrix is highly spatialized and highly fixed and stable in a spatialized geometric configuration. Under such conditions, only thermodynamic and gravitoidal dynamic processes can directly occur. In fact, gravitoidal dynamics appear to originate only within such dense matrices, and do not normally or spontaneously arise within external spime itself.

It is, in other words, the interdependent processes of gravitational displacement and spime replacement that occurs within such a matrix that leads to gravitational radiation in the hypothetical form of gravitoids. Gravitoids are only released within such spatially bound spime matrices, and appear to freely radiate from them.

Such matrices appear to be at least "semi-transparent" to gravitational energy. In this sense, there must be a special property of the bound state of such a matrix that results in gravitoidal radiation. It is my hypothesis that such dense objects, being mostly opaque to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, are "translucent" to gravitational energy.

This may have something to do with the apparent differences of scale and polarity of gravitational energy to electromagnetic energy, in that the former one of such infinitesimal mass that it essentially behaves like a form of electromagnetic radiation in a temporalized state. Thus, gravitoidal displacement that occurs exclusively within such bound matrices essentially represents a form of mass depletion of the body.

Large mass-bodies such as moons, planets and suns essentially act like gigantic gravitational "lense" that focus the flow of space-time upon their center of gravity.

This is an interesting phenomenon as the center is in a sense an internal vanishing point. It is the center about which gravitational balance or relative gravitational unity of an object is achieved. What is effected in such instances is a kind of closing of the spime-matrix upon itself in a manner that leads to a convergence of spime-patterning upon a single core region or point.

It is my contention that spime continues to flow through the solid mass body of the internal matrix, perhaps at a fundamentally different rate of replacement as densities are increased in the center. There is convergence of the spime matrix upon the central region, at which point the degree of compression of the spime in the matrix becomes so great that a process of gravitational fusion occurs. At such a threshold of gravitational fusion, energy latent within the spime matrix is released from the matrix and recombined. I suggest that at this point, gravitoidal radiation is produced that is fundamentally freed from the spime matrix of the surrounding material.

A conjectural model of spime mechanics is offered that would be a variety of the complex field of quantum mechanics. It is conjectured that spime (and implicitly sub-spime) mechanics occurs at a level below that normally observed or hypothesized to occur in quantum field mechanics, but shares many of the basic properties found within quantum field descriptions. At this level, there is no clear distinction between mass and energy, they represent at best alternate states of the same physical entity. The wave form of non-particulate spime units is held to be the consequence of a basic spin that has angular momentum. At this stage, some mathematical field equations for spime mechanics might be derivable from known quantum mechanical theories.

I conjecture that below the quantum level, there is remarkable uniformity and simplicity that is derived from the basic spime unit, and its constitution by a hypothetical "n-particle" that has minimal properties of angular spin and quadropole moments. In essence, spime is constructed of this basic n-particle, and spime itself can be reorganized in a variety of constructs to account for all known entities occuring at the sub-atomic level. The n-particle itself may be derived from even smaller "xyz infinitesimals" that are associated with its binding characteristics and state alternation.

This suggest a model of the normal spime matrix as a double helical coil, only one part of which detaches as energy and "travels" as a temporalizing element of energy. This element passes regularly between spime, while the other "spatializing" element tends to remain fixed, bound with similar spime. Because of its universally bound state, it exhibits no apparent mass, though its mass is probably equivalent to that of gravitational radiation.

Spatializing helices would appear therefore to have the property of being capable of binding at each end with one and probably more similar spatialized spime. The temporalizing helices, complementary to the spatial, would be similar to the gravitational energy transfered across this spatialized matrix. I speculate that it does not bind at its ends, but rather binds along its sides, binding directions that occur essentially perpendicular to the binding directions of the spatialized helix. I speculate that while the end-binding energies of spatialized spime are quite strong, the side-binding energies of temporalized spime are effectively very weak. I suspect that temporalized spime lack end-binding energies.

Temporalizing and Spatializing spime are in effect identical except that the former exists in an spatially independent mode, travel at or greater than the speed of light, and may not bind at its ends. Spatializing spime are in effect phase dependent and have the property of binding at its ends. The spime represent therefore two discrete alternate states of the same spime. I recommend that temporalizing spime can be "constructed" along the interstices of the spime matrix by a property of "side-binding." This represents an aggregation of energy that can, at some threshold, become easily displaced in a phase-independent, non-binding mode as gravitational radiation.

I believe that the differential between end-binding and side-binding modes of spime represent the quadropole momentum of gravitation.

There is an overlapping range, referred to as "diagonally oriented spime" that represents the formation of a double-helix structure that eventually becomes displaced. Thus a highly energized "double-helix" structure releases a spime in a temporalized state to become in effect to separate helices, one bound and the other unbound. Both helices are essentially identical, except for their end-binding characteristics, and exist at a lower energy state than the original double-helix structure. The result of this is gravitational radidation.

In this construct, it is possible therefore for gravitational radiation to eventually be returned to the spime matrix by some as yet undescribed mechanisms, by which it reenters a bound state.

The phase-independent, non-end binding temporalizing spime are released into the matrix to propagate freely through it without significant interference. In effect the entire matrix almost perfect transparent to its propagation in such an independent state.

This suggests a model of sub-spime structure that each strand may be made up of a kind of chain linkage. The binding of this chain-linkage goes in only two directions, one strong (long axis) and the other weak (short, vertical axis).

Spatialized Strand of Spime above.

Temporalized strand of spime

We can really only speculate as to such a level of sub-spime structure. Lacking any clear evidence, and lacking the ability to see something that in a sense does not exist in space and time, makes it difficult to conceptualize models. The arrangement of the subunits of spime, what I will call "n-particles" must exhibit, I believe, at least two or three main properties. These properties are that they have angular momentum associated with spin, and that they constitute some minimal unit of what I will call "mass/energy" or "n-force" that underlies and accounts for all apparent forces and energies of the observable universe. They must also be capable of linking to one another in chains and side-to-side clusters, and they must transmit their energy in some manner. I can only speculate that there is only one kind of "n-particle" that constitutes spime, but in fact we might find an entire family of exotic particles and forces involved in the constitution of the n-particle, what I would call the xyz infinitesimal(s).

N-particles remain locked in a flexible matrix in space-time, and in a more rigid matrix in matter. In the rigid matrix, gravitational energies that are built up from the surrounding spime matrices, converge head on to produce gravitoidal radiation that becomes free of the matrix. This occurs naturally as a process of spime replacement occurring at the internal interface between internalized and externalized matrices, which witness the breaking up of the spatialized spime and its reorganization, accompanied by the release of gravitational energy that is bound within the matrix.

It is interesting to view n-particles arranged in some kind of flexible but rigid chain structure or like a tightly wound spring helix. Such shapes would confer on the spime helix the properties of elasticity that would be most distinctive about their hypothetical energies.

Minimally, I will view the n-particle as a single non-particularistic entity that does not exist in time, but in a sense, is time itself, like a very brief moment. It is spherical, and rotates about one or more axii. It binds to itself a smaller hypothetical particle or set of that I will designate as the xyx-infinitesimal, which constitutes its mass-energy. The basis for its mass-energy would be its angular momentum about a central axis.

The xyz-infinitesimal(s) is the effective limit to the construction of the spime model. In understanding this theory, I do not believe it is necessary or possible to go to deeper levels, unless in our scientific explorations we encounter new forms of evidence that suggests new forces and properties existing in the universe. I will define the xyz-infinitesimal as the smallest unit or group of units of the space-time construct, including all the possible subunits that may compose it, and the associated properties.

It has what I will call "xyz-properties" associated with itself. The only thing I think that is necessary for the space-time construct, is that it is somehow fundamentally asymmetrical in that it always points or directs in one fundamental direction--in phase structure it is only right or left handed.

As yet we can develop no significant mathematical descriptions of these entities, because we would have nothing known to derive them from. They are only logically forthcoming from the theoretical implications of this model itself.

The asymmetrical properties of the xyz infinitesimal(s) would suggest that there is a fundamental symmetry that is hypothesized in quantum field theory, and perhaps also a super-symmetry that would result from the alternative arrangements of these entities along different pathways. The results, of course, would be alternative and mutually exclusive space-time constructs.

The hypothezation of sub-spime structure suggests that at the level of the n-particle and xyz-infinitesimal that we could have a fundamental reorganization of the space-time construct itself to create an alternative universe. But such a model would suggest as well that it would require a tremendous amount of energy to accomplish this kind of task, energies that are probably not so commonly found in the universe.

If such energies levels can be found in the core of Black holes, that release tremendous amounts of gravitational radiation, and according to this theory, suck up even greater amounts of space-time and all the things in its path, including light itself, then we can imagine the breaking down of spime into its most constituent units, and their release on such a level that gravitational forces no longer seem to apply directly. At this stage we can conjecture on their basic reformation as some other entity, perhaps a reversal of the "directedness" of the xyz-infinitesimal--their "flipping" over to the other side and pointing in the opposite direction.

At this point, the conjecture must stop.

There may be an interesting relationship of this kind of spime as they occur in their double helix coils. The the length of connection of the spatialized spime would be a function of the length of the relative temporalized spime, such that a junction of interconnection would occur at the point that side-binding energies would no longer affect the ends.

In this model, interconnection of spatialized spime may in turn affect the relative length, and possibly the relative density (frequency) of the attached temporalized spime. This might be the equivalent relationship of Time to Space. Dynamic compression of spime would result in a shorting of the chains of spatialized spime, increasing the number and density of interconnections. At the same time, the associated energy properties would be intensified.

The reverse of this would be the relative expansion or stretching of the chain in the void of empty space that is relatively free of gravitational influence, or in an approximate state of absolute equilibrium. Under such conditions, it is hypothesized that the relative lengths of the temporalized strands would have an effect in maintaining the structural interconnections of the spatialized spime. In such conditions, the spime matrix would more closely come to resemble that expected of thermodynamic geometries than of gravitational-spime geometries. We would expect a minimal number of interconnections of spime occurring, and a stretching even of the temporalized component, that would be equivalent to its shifting. What would effectively hold the structure together in such minimalized energy states would essentially be the structure of the energy itself. If such a model held true, then we could expect that an "elastic" characteristic of such spime is accountable for by the maximum lengths of the individual chains, and the maximum degree to which each chain can be "stretched" or compressed upon itself. Temporalized spime will only be so long before it divides itself into two spime.

Once spime enters a temporalized state, it achieves a stability that entails that it will not easily reenter the spime matrix as a structural component, but might only affect this matrix by means of its perturbation by propagation, much as electrical conduction results in magnetism.

We must speculate that there are different relative kinds of spime--long, short, heavy and thin. We understand spime organized into at least two kinds of matrix structures, internalized and externalized, and also into dynamic fluid states at the boundaries between these structures. Different species of spime may beget fundamental alterations of basic properties observed in the universe.

In such a system, we might mechanically account for the interdependency of time and space that we observe. It is a difficult model to conceptualize and imagine, because for the most part our imagination is informed by visual and spatial constructs. This must be seen as a dynamic process of causation and change, as much as it is purely a static spatio-visual type of construct. The accounting here is only made to offer what I consider to be a possible if not entirely plausible construct that mechanically and sufficiently accounts for basic physical relationships underlying common phenomena observed in the universe.

The destruction of spime, or of space-time, would proceed in the breaking apart of the spime matrix at its joints, by means of first unwinding the helix. It would probably be stripped it of its energy potential that would result in gravitational and then thermodynamic energy propagation, and secondly in the disconnection of the remaining spatialized helices at their joints, such that these would then become rearranged into new matrices with different end connections.

The spime matrix at the center of the gravitating body is basically destroyed. The original coherence as either externalized or internalized matrix is broken down. It releases one-half of its energy potential, in the form of the vertical helix and rebuilds its structure with the other half. This vertical helix may be then recombined with another similar helix to create a pair that radiates along the temporal matrix and remains essentially independent of the spime matrix.

In this model, the important difference between the gravitational core of a mini-center would be fixed and would set a finite limit to the size and structure of the resulting externalized matrix that surrounds it. The gravitational core of a large mass object would essentially be on an additive scale, depending on the mass represented by the total number of mini-centers that are arranged in the structure. The same basic properties that occur in the mini-centers are in a sense transferred to the composite structure as a whole. Each particulate unit would retain its own gravitational mini-center, but all of them would be unified or achieve a state of relative gravitational unity within the larger structure.

Gravitation is a mass-dependent phenomenon, and even particles of very small mass would exhibit miniscule gravitational properties. The unification of the system as a whole about a common center of gravity as happens in large mass-objects, is the exact same mechanism as occurs in space with the relative unification of different large-mass objects into coherent systems of motion and accretion.

The gravitational mass of each object is transferred to a center of balance that is represented by the central region of any number of mass-objects in relation to one another. Mass becomes unified in such systems, less self-gravitational mass.

Under this hypothesis then, it would be expected that gravitational radiation would essentially equal one-half the total spime replacement rate.

Once recombined from the spime matrix, gravitoidal or gravitational radiation will be released from the gravitational fusion core very similar to the manner that light would be released from a light-bulb. It will radiate from the core, pass through the mass-body of the gravitating source, and be released at the surface of the body into the surrounding spime matrix. Some gavitational heat may be lost in the surrounding dense matrices, but most of it would irradiate out into the surrounding regions of space, to be cast upon distant objects. At this stage, gravitational radiation behaves very similarly to thermodynamic radiation, and follows similar thermodynamic rules. The only difference is that it appears to remain transparent to most common forms of mass-bodies, or matter, and causes differential activation of the spime matrix.

If processes of gravitational fusion can be conjectured to occur based on these theoretical principles, in the core of gravitating bodies, then it is also conjectured that in such cores reach certain levels of pressure, heat and gravitational spime compression. The fusion process reaches higher levels of conversion, such that gravitoidal units, which are taken to be bound pairs of vertical spime helices, are linked into chains of bound-strand helices and these become tied into small bundles of electromagnetic energy that we call photons.

It can be expected that the thermodynamic radiation of energy, in larger bundles, becomes impenetrable to physical mass objects, and must conduct out across the internal spime matrix as excess 'heat', electricity and magnetism, until it reaches the surface and is allowed to escape through the more open external matrix.

We can understand electrical and magnetic energies in terms of the effects of radiation upon the spime matrix it encounters. In solid spime matrices, conduction leads to a transference or dissipation of bound thermodynamic energy back into the matrix. Its dissipation affects the surrounding field both as ionic electrical energy and as magnetic fields, which follow the spatial dimensions of the matrix.

On another level, it is conjectured that the bundles become further linked and bundled in thicker concentrations and they become bound upon themselves on their ends to form small "particles" of mass that exhibit properties of atomic nuclei and electrons and other sub-atomic particles as well. In a sense, spime itself is recreated as internalized spime in different matrix configurations that contain a great deal more energy.

This question of the fundamental unity and complementarity of space-time with matter, interpreted as internal and external spime matrices, begs the question of how the internal structure of the spime matrix is fundamentally different from the external structure, and how they might be similar. I believe that the Covering Law model of nuclear physics can be interpreted in terms of the varying combinations or pathways of fusion that internal spime matrices can develop. At this level, spime itself becomes reorganized, and this reorganization must be comprehended.

It suggests that new matter is always forged within a gravitational fusion core. The prodigious quantities and the near uniformity of its distribution in the observable regions of the universe, notwithstanding consideration of recessional velocities and red shifts, suggests that these processes out to be quite common, and probably on-going. It was not all made in one instant. It was made over many, many billions of years.

The reorganization of spime essentially involves incredible forces of gravitational pressure exerted by surrounding mass, gravitoidal radiation, and thermodynamic radiation. It represents a step up the chain of the universal creation process. At this stage, the long bundles of thermodynamic energy in the context of super dense compression of the inflowing spime matrix, become bound in thick concentrations to yield relatively stable and permanent matrices.

In a sense, when spime occurs in internal matrix configurations, it exists in two overlapping forms. External spime matrix occurs around and through a dense and enclosed internal spime matrix. At their interface, spime must transfer their alternating energies in a manner that assures continuity. Spime replacement proceeds on two levels at the interface--drawn into the internal capsule of spime, and at the same time flowing around the capsule to denser regions of the spime matrix. There is a sense of fluid induction of external spime matrix into the internal interstitial spaces of the mass-agglomeration.. At some point in the process, a point must be reached that external spime can no longer penetrate to the gravitational fusion core, without itself breaking apart into its constituent units. At this level, spatialized helixes are dislodged from their normal matrix, and form small conglomerations of helix chains, much similar to the formation of electromagnetic chains. The electromagnetic chains may be implicated in this process in that there occurs an embedding or layering of both chains about themselves.

At this stage, the source of gravitational concentration of the gravitating body itself breaks up, in a sense, as its basic substance is broken down. The reaggregation of the spime matrix into small minimal capsules of internalized matrix create in a sense tiny mini-centers of gravitation within the particulate matter. The internalized matrix become reoriented about a common focal point--spime affects its own convolution.

This suggests that at such mini-centers spime are arranged in a funny way, perhaps that long chains all attach together to a common central point to create a kind of fuzzy ball of multiple strands that are densely tied together at the center. The binding energies at the center of the ball that hold it together as an entity are important to the understanding of gravitational energy in general.

I speculate that the arrangement of such balls is an anchoring to the middle of alternate thermodynamic and spatio-horizontal strand clusters. Clusters that are arranged from one polarized end to the other, would form charged particles, clusters that are arranged from one alternating polarized ends would constitute particles that are essential "neutral" in character.

Other kinds of particles would be possibly constituted by non-gravi-centric configurations, by the looping of ends of chains together, resulting in a gravi-circular configuration that behaves in essential quantum configurations.

Such a "mini-center" of gravity is essentially different from centers of gravity of large mass objects. Large gravitational cores of massive bodies can capture and retain these mini-centers just like a galactic center captures and holds an entire array of solar systems. This is more than just an analogous process-it is in essence a homologous process of natural patterning at different levels of observation. Thus we must look to the forces that capture electrons in shells about a nucleus as very similar to the titanic forces that hold planets and moons about the sun.

It is worthwhile to speculate on the possible binding structure occurring at the center of such mini-gravity centers as the equivalent on a space-time scale of what occurs at the center of gravity of large gravitating mass-objects. It is, I believe, important to also try to understand the interactions that occur between externalized spime and internalized spime at the "interface" of such structures that leads to the induction of spime into the internalized matrix until it is broken up in the center. It is speculated that compressive energies occurring at the center of such "mini-centers" are in essence equivalent to the compressive forces at the core of large mass-objects on a very reduced scale.

I speculate that at the very center of such mini-centers is really a region of empty space that is devoid of any space-time. Rather at such a point, space-time as externalized matrix material is decomposed into its component structures, part of which is conducted off as gravitational energy, and the other part of which is inducted into the solid surrounding matrix to replace the spime material within the external matrix.

It is possible that spime is continuously passing off a part of its structure, during its phase transitions, as energy that is either sent along the spatial dimension to the surrounding spime matrix, or radiated out along the temporal dimension as liberated gravitational energy.

The binding energies that elastically connect spime in different spatial directions from end to end are the basis for the connection of spime in the internalized matrix. Spatialized spime cannot have a free end except perhaps in bound mass-states. I speculate that no spime can have a free "end" that is unconnected to another spime. Such a condition creates an open state that invites binding. It is possible that the free end can connect to more than one spime end at a time. In other words, multiple spime may share the same connection together. This rate of connection has to do with the relative binding energies found in the spime matrix, and varies between externalized and internalized states. Spime in external states have fewer connections than those in internal states. Spime in internalized states would have one end open at the outside end of each of its strand, to which it would connect with spime from the externalized matrix. Else the closing off of the ends would be somehow effected that prevents this "connection" with externalized spime from occurring.

Thus, understanding the interactions at the interface and at the core of the internalized spime matrix, and how this articulates with the externalized spime matrix, are important. Energies can be passed off at the interface, and one strand binding can be attached to the spime of the surrounding external matrix, serving to anchor the internalized spime. At the same time, the destructive/constructive forces at work in the center serve the function, not merely of exchanging energy between the internalized and externalized matrices, but with exchanging the substance and significant mass of the system.

To go one step further in this conjectural analysis, we can consider the formation of super mass at the core of bodies of such tremendous densities, that entirely new sets of processes begin occurring. The extremely strong gravitational fields surrounding these bodies would be the evidence of this mechanism. In such super mass that all forms of configuration become essentially annihilated, including thermodynamic energies and mass, and space-time forms a new kind of super dense metal. I will conjecture that at this stage we get purely-spatialized constructs that are without the temporalized components. Space-time as we know it is essentially altered in its character.

Beyond this point, would be the breaking of the spatialized spime strand itself into its constituent individual linkages. I can picture a kind of soup formed from such broken linkages. We can go on with this kind of sub-structural analysis ad infinitum, reductio ad absurdum. It is at this stage that we can talk about possible reconstruction of alternative spatio-temporal matrices, founded perhaps on basic spin directions.

In spime dynamics, we can assume the equivalence of the conservation of mass and the conservation of spime replacement and the conservation of gravitational displacement.

The principle of the conservation of mass leads to the assumption of the conservation of spime-replacement and gravitational displacement, such that spime will be drawn into such a matrix to replace the lost mass of gravitational displacement.

As the model is so far constructed, the following levels are assumed to exist in the informational patterning of nature, including the causal linkages and feedback described:

Gravitational radiation appears to affect the surrounding spime matrix external to the body in critical ways, by altering the thresholds of replacement within this spime matrix. In a sense, gravitational radiation is transparent in normal space-time, but experiences a loss of momentum between space-time and the matter matrix of space-time, that is transferred to the surrounding matrix. Gravitational radiation continues beyond its surrounding field, to the point that its "momentum" of energy is equivalent to that of the minimal threshold of the normal spime matrix of space. At that point, it becomes completely transparent to the spime matrix. It is only when it perchance reenters the surrounding dynamic spime matrix that it exhibits possibly unusual properties.

It is possible that in long-distance relations, incoming radiation becomes slightly reenergized within differential gradient of the local spime manifold, and thus leaves its signature on distant bodies to which it remains translucent. It may alternately reenter the spime matrix of distant bodies and cause negative displacement.

At this stage, it is interesting to attempt to explain the possible dynamics occurring in physical matrices in terms of gravitational "pressures" that arise in such matrices. Such gravitational pressures can be thought of as density-dependent gravitational patterns that overcome the normal thresholds of binding energies contained in the matter. Thus, a small piece of matter will not normally exhibit unusual internal characteristics, lacking significant internal gravitational pressures compared to the minimal threshold required to alter its normal physical structure.

It is known that great pressures are equivalent to thermodynamic energy. Thus extreme mass-induced pressures can induce transformations and reactions that are similar to high thermodynamic states.

It is possible to imagine conditions such that the gravitational energies are so great in internalized states of pressure, that the product of such conditions is the continuous creation of thermodynamic energy from gravitoidal radiation itself, without necessarily the loss of mass from the matter that would be predicted under normal laws of thermodynamics.

In a sense, in the normal thermodynamic paradigm, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, but only transferred to a lower energy system. Under a revised gravitational paradigm, gravitational energies may reach such a focused condition that not only does gravity fuse into thermodynamic radiation, but thermodynamic radiation may be fused into matter. We know that the former model is possible and is known to occur. The pathways to achieving such fusion may be multiple. Gravity may break down matter into energy, or energy into gravitational force, only to refuse it back again into alternative forms of energy or mass.

In an earth-sized mass, very stable and complex thermodynamic processes are known to occur in the core regions that lead to motional differentials and magnetic fields that cannot be predicted merely by the spin of the planet about its axis. I suggest that such patterns, their longevity and continuous thermodynamic cycles, without significant mass dissipation, can only fully be accounted for by the hypothesis of continuous gravitational inputs and gravitational fueling. Similarly too, for solar sized systems that may effectively generate hydrogen and higher forms of mass at its core, only to re-consume this extra-mass in its furnaces.

Conditions created under what can be considered infinitely strong gravitational pressures as occurring in a black hole, create the possibility of two or three alternative pathways in such a process that are not common or normally observed to occur in nature. These pathways are the creation of a kind of super mass that represents a fusion of mass-thermodynamic energy and gravitational energy into some exotic construct, or into the reconversion of mass and energy to spime, or even the annihilation of spime itself into some hypothetical form of non-spime. It is evident that gravitational energies do normally radiate from such unusual bodies, and therefore, spime replacement must occur at unusual rates.

Under unusual conditions, the non-conservation of mass, energy, gravity and even spime can be expected to occur. In such conditions, it is also expected that some form of "alternative conservation" must apply, which suggests the possibility, if such conditions do indeed occur, of alternative space-time matrices.

Thus it is conjectured that these bodies remain in a relatively stable state. Spime must be returned to the universe in the form at least of gravitational radiation, but it is apparent that under such conditions the total rate of displacement/replacement may be fundamentally disturbed.

What is suggested under such exotic conditions is a gravitational "implosion" but, unlike what we think of for explosions and implosions, that we have thermodynamic models for, this implosion is relatively continuous.

Super mass or alternative annihilative pathways suggest also that there are different conditions possible in which mutual gravitational energies occur at extremely strong concentrations, but possibly without the associated intra-gravitational pressures that occur within solidified mass matrices.

I speculate that there may occur in non-mass centers of gravity what can be called gravitational vortices that are the result of extremely strong gravitational forces converging from multiple sources bound within a unified gravitational system. Now, it can be expected that such gravitational forces should be able to "cancel" one another out, as appears to happen, but in extremely strong fields, such cancellation could not happen without other noticeable consequences occurring as a byproduct. I will conjecture that under such conditions, in a virtual gravitational vortex, that normal spime densities become so intensified that gravitational, thermodynamic and possibly even mass can be created in them to be possibly ejected, probably along the vertical axis of the principle moment of rotation.

A gravity system always seeks unification through accretion and achieves a stable state of relative equilibrium, often by means of motion.

I will state five "C" principles and their primary implications that I will argue are fundamental to a scientific view of the world:

Hypothesis: Universal Conservation. Physical reality cannot ultimately be made or destroyed, only converted into alternative forms. Conversion is always such that, in the total balance, there is conservation of physical reality.

a. This implies that though local disequilibrium may occur on any level, there is always a tendency towards total equilibrium.

Hypothesis: Universal Creation. Because physical reality cannot be made or destroyed, creative processes that affect its elements are scientifically accounted for only in terms of their relative and specific conversion equations.

a. This implies that ultimate creation or final destruction are scientifically untenable.

Hypothesis: Universal Complementarity. Physical reality occurring at discrete levels and in discrete forms always occurs in alternative forms that are complementary to one another.

a. This implies that at any level, there is a fundamental equivalence of some fundamental value between alternative forms.

Hypothesis: Universal Causality. Physical processes occur as the result of other physical processes, and can, in any one instant, happen in only one direction in space-time.

a. This implies that for any instance of an observation of a change event, we can find a scientific explanation in terms of some prior condition.

Hypothesis: Universal Change. Physical reality always changes in statistically dynamic but predictable ways.

a. This implies that nothing in the Universe is absolutely constant, hence there are no permanently non-relativistic or absolute states except momentary ones.

Implicit to the space-time construct of a universal spime matrix, is the suggestion that this construct forms the basis of a universal gravitational field. Gravitational energy, that is expressed in the form of "gravitoids" which are alleged to be the result of gravitational displacement caused by mass upon the spime matrix, is not the same thing as the observed effect of gravity itself, most noticeably the free-fall of objects within a gravitational field.

Gravitational displacement which results in such "free-fall" within a gravity system is explained in terms of the tendency towards coherence and continuity of the spime matrix, and gravitational energy is the by-product of this process of continuous displacement. Gravitational energy itself appears to be little more than an effect that maintains causal equilibrium in the universe. In other words, it must account for the negative balance that occurs as the result of continuous spime replacement. This follows somewhat like Newton's law that for every action, there must be an opposite but equal reaction.

A large mass-object cannot continuously accrete space-time into itself without some mechanism that would carry off the spime in some other modified form. This spime is released as gravitational energy that I hypothesize consists of gravitoidal radiation.

In a sense, gravitational energy is what is left over after change in a mass-object occurs, whether the object is in motion or at rest. Change is a fundamental and universal physical process involving spontaneous space-time replacement derived from alternation. It is a time ordered process. It can go in only one direction.

Gravitoidal radiation appears to be primarily the consequence of the interaction of spime in physical matter. Spime does not radiate gravitational energy with itself outside of such a physical system. This is a thorny problem that is related to the issue of a unified field theory.

The problem arises as to how can we explain what appear to be variable physical geometries in the same space-time, interacting concurrently with one another. They appear to be basically separate though interacting geometries. In my theory of the gravitational spime-matrix, there appear to be at least three sets of geometries that need to be accounted for in such a manner. It must be understood that these "geometries" which are usually conceived of as "spatial" distribution systems are in effect "space-time" distribution systems, and that the temporal component cannot be effectively alienated from any of these.

These geometries are the expectable geometric configurations of the following:

1. Spime-gravitational geometry that acts upon physical mass-bodies

2. Gravitoidal geometry that leads to the appearance of "action at a distance"

3. Electromagnetic geometry that appears essentially "gravity-less" and thermodynamic, and yet is influenced by gravitational fields in important ways

The first two geometries appear to be closely interrelated in what I hypothesize to be a dynamic feedback system. I do not believe that all gravitational effects that are observable can be fully accounted for without such an hypothesis. The third geometry occurs within the parameters of the second geometry, and interacts with this second geometry, but appears relatively independent of the first geometry except in one general way.

According to this theory, we cannot fully explain all gravitational effects within only a single geometry, or what can be considered a single unified theory. Alternation offers the possibility of the simultaneous coexistence in a single space-time construct of a dual geometry.

The basis for this conclusion is the assumption of the natural distribution of information on several different levels of functioning. What appears to be missing from this is, as in biology, is a central theory like that of evolution that satisfies at the same time all different levels occurring within this order of information. I have hypothesized an intermediate level between that of the gravitational spime matrix and that of thermodynamic radiation that links the two into a coherent, but rather inelegant theory.

In the first place, it is not difficult to imagine the possibility that both gravitoidal-mass and electromagnetic geometries, which appear quite similar in many respects to me, are both alternate geometries which co-occur within the general gravitational-spime matrix, and thus represent special cases of the latter geometry. It is not difficult to understand that these geometries normally interpenetrate and are a part of the original and main background geometry of the universe, that of space-time itself. Each can be said to exist in space-time, and to be a part of space-time, and to propagate only through the medium of space-time, but leading by different patterns and pathways to different consequences. Thus, it is my conclusion that there are in essence at least two geometries derivative from and therefore dependent upon the first.

There is in theory a fourth geometry that is really better but not completely understood, that also arises from the first. It is the internal geometry of physical matter itself.

Each of the three geometries beget different distributional patterns within the spime matrix, and to a large extent they appear to co-occur in the same space-time fields without noticeable or significant interference.

Another way of stating this is that gravitation as we understand it takes at least three of four different but interrelated forms, that appear to be describable only within terms appropriate for each mass-differentiated system.

I will state a proposition that partly reconciles these variable geometries. This proposition has to do with the fundamental causal complementarity that is related to universal equivalence at all the different levels. Briefly, there are two geometrical forms arising from the space-time matrix that are derivative of the fundamental spatio-temporal complementarity. In other words, geometry can be primarily expressed in terms that reflect the temporal variables of the matrix, or in terms that reflect primarily the spatial variables.

In the former kind of pattern, propagative fields are essentially constrained in the temporal dimension, and relatively independent of spatial considerations. I believe that this kind of geometry is appropriate to understanding the distributional patterns of thermodynamic energy, and I would suggest, on another level, of gravitational radiation. The primary constraint of such a system is a hypothetical maximum speed of propagation across the matrix, which is either equal to or slightly greater than the speed of light. These systems are still minimally influenced by residual spatial considerations, which results in their shifting and their curvilinear propagative patterns through the gravitational spime field.

In the latter kind of pattern, we do not speak of "propagation" as such rather than as a kind of universal accretion or cohesiveness of fields. This pattern is expressed primarily in the spatial dimension such that temporal considerations tend to be secondary and derivative. This form of spatialized geometry fits the ten-tensor geometry of general relativity and of the pattern of gravitational displacement of the space-time manifold around heavy-objects. It also accounts, I believe, for gravitational geometries that occur within the interior of such objects.

It is the continuously alternating character of the spime matrix itself, its blinking between spatial-temporal states, that I think may account for the possibility of the co-occurrence of the two generalized geometries. The principle rule of order governing this blinking is the general synchonization of its occurrence, at least on a statistical basis that permits both propagation and cohesion to simultaneously co-occur. Propagation and cohesion occur alternately through the same process of displacement and replacement within the spime matrix, but in a sense, in fundamentally opposite or perpendicular directions.

In a sense, a potential communication gradient is set up in both directions, albeit in an essentially alternating way. The consequences for these opposite directions are that fundamentally different geometrical distribution patterns appear within the same spime matrix. We can consider this to be an inherent duality of the spime matrix that is a function of its inherent spatio-temporal complementarity.

But hypothetically at least, the postulation of gravitational energy as occurring on an intermediate level between space-time and mass-energy systems has other implications. For instance, the conversion process between space-time and mass-energy systems are basically accomplished in terms of gravitational energy.

In other words, spime is usually turned into gravitational energy, which in turn can be transformed into thermodynamic energy and matter. The difference in energy between gravitational energy and electromagnetic energy appears to be that the former is, strictly speaking, non-thermodynamic. Unfortunately, there is some conflation of meaning between the different terms used that requires clarification.

In understanding these relationships, several paradigms in order.

There occurs a pattern of universal equivalence which incorporates the Equivalence principle that states that mass is equal to gravity which is equal to inertia.

To expand this paradigm of universal equivalence, we can hypothesize a basic equivalence between the following phenomena which occur at different levels and in different ways:

Space-time Replacement = Inertia of Energy = Mass Equivalence = Inertial Equivalence = Gravitational Displacement = Spime Density-Distribution

This paradigm implies a principle of universal conservation that suggests at different levels the conservation of mass, conservation of energy, conservation of gravitational displacement and conservation of spime replacement.

This paradigm of Universal Equivalence implies as well a corollary paradigm of Universal Causal Complementarity. The complementarity principle is most familiar in relativistic considerations in quantum mechanics. Universal Causal Complementarity implies two levels:

Simple Complementarity of Structure, such that the following pairs are equivalent in some formulaic manner:

Space-Time

Energy-Mass

I would like to state that gravitational energy appears to be complementary to both space-time and to energy-mass, but energy-mass may not be directly complementary to space-time.

The relationship of Equivalence to Complementarity of Structure suggests that there is a complex Causal Complementarity such that:

Space-time is convertible to gravitational energy and vice versa.

Gravitational energy is convertible to energy-mass and vice-versa

But under normal circumstances, it is doubtful whether space-time is convertible directly to energy-mass and vice-versa. This formula may only hold under very unusual circumstances.

The third paradigm as represented by the chart above shows a comparison of equivalent principles between spime, gravitational and thermodynamic systems. In this, it must be emphasized that gravitational dynamics deals primarily with motion of mass-based gravity-systems, while spime-dynamics deals primarily with contortions of gravitational space-time fields. The two are related systems, but not exactly equal.

Also, several relativistic considerations apply to the understanding of these alternative systems. Relativistic considerations in part relate the different systems to one other in different ways. For instance, it is known that both gravitational energy and electromagnetic energy has mass, which are affected in gravitational fields in different ways. I believe that fully accounting for these relativistic considerations requires amending the basic principles of the systems somewhat.

The space-time construct is a dynamic energy propagation field, though it has no physical manifestation except for its indirect effects on mass-based systems and in the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. It is, furthermore, a universal gravitational field.

Fundamentally, in non-mathematical, descriptive terms, I will state that the universe is generally and basically constituted by a universal background field of hypothetically infinite size. As far as we know it, this field is four dimensional, constituted by the three dimensions that we normally experience as spatial, and the fourth dimension we characterize as temporal. Essentially these dimensions constitute only one vectorial dimension. A fifth or greater dimension may be theoretically hypothesized for this system, but at this time this inference is either not logically necessary or corroborated by any observable evidence.

The universal field that I hypothesize is in essence a universal gravitational field that propagates in all directions and irreversibly in time. It functions to maintain the integrity of the four dimensional structure of the known universe through time and across space.

All matter and energy are physically manifest and observable in spatial and temporal terms, and so far physical patterns have been rather elegantly described in clear mathematical language. All observed matter and energy appears to follow the fundamental laws of Thermodynamics, notwithstanding certain relativistic issues which affect mostly the subatomic structure of things.

Though I am only a poor and dispossessed anthropologist, and I lack the qualifications to make either accurate or valid statements regarding physics, it is nonetheless worthwhile to attempt to approach the problem philosophically and theoretically on a basic level, to see if nothing else where it might lead.

As an extension of the basic laws of Thermodynamics to the understanding the mechanical structure of gravity as a working universal system, I will stick my skinny anthropological neck out and risk a few general hypothesis as part of what I have called a "universal gravitational field theory."

Within a system of gravitational dynamics, a theoretical value called relative mass is the equivalent to temperature in a thermodynamic system, and temperature as a measure of heat. Heat would be therefore equivalent to relative mass that is a measure of a property I have called dynamic gravitational displacement of the system, which is equivalent to the relative degree of inertial resistance of the object to acceleration, or work performed in the system.

Within this system, all gravity systems and bodies seek naturally a state that can be called relative local equilibrium which entails minimization of the level of gravitational displacement caused by that system, less the laws of normal entropy. In other words, a body may remain in permanent stable motion in a fixed direction as a gravity system, but a body cannot be permanently or forever accelerated within such a system without additional work being done. States of acceleration or deceleration are temporary states of dynamic transition from one mode or level of relative equilibrium and unity to another.

Within such a system, just as there cannot be any spontaneous gravitoidal displacement under normal circumstances, so also can there not occur within any gravity system spontaneous acceleration or dynamic transition without some other mechanical explanation for this transition. Gravitation is the only explanation possible for such spontaneous acceleration to occur.

This rule of universal gravitational equilibrium regarding non-spontaneous transitions of gravity systems and the principles of acceleration, underlies and accounts for the basic laws of gravitational dynamics. These principles are equivalent to laws of thermodynamics that apply to heat production systems and are the result and consequence of relative dynamic displacement of gravitational fields, or a relative state of gravitational disequilibrium, which requires work to maintain and which results in there being no "perpetual work" machine of either the first or second kind.

At this stage, we cannot yet guess at the entire cosmography or cosmogenic structure of the physical universe. We can only hypothesize that at the level of gravitoidal relations, things are fairly constant and permanent, creating the necessary stability to account for relations and dynamics in our corner of the universe, at least. But this is not to say that at some level, the gravitational system itself is not unwinding or not subject to the principles of thermodynamics, but on such a minute level that we cannot yet recognize it. The gravitational matrix may itself be expanding on a fundamental level, due to the gradual weakening or loss of gravitational energy.

It is my contention that the structure of the universe is composed of a vast four dimensional matrix that consists of a stable structure of slots created by a flexible but unbreakable interstitial structure of spime. These slots create small spaces or voids that need to be filled by small movable objects that in one state at least can be called gravitoids. Matter as we know it essentially moves through this matrix, without destroying its basic structure, but causing it to bend, compress, twist and expand, and resulting in the displacement of gravitoids from its spaces.

I believe that in the conceptualization of this fluid dynamic lattice structure of the space-time matrix, it is important to see it as essentially a structure of time rather than just of space. It is in a sense a structural patterning in the background of the universe that is continuously recreating itself, but along an non-uniform or dynamic wave-front. We experience this wave-front as universally synchronous, but in fact it is an uneven lattice structure such that some areas are stretched out and others squeezed. We normally experience these uneven regions of the structure as gravitationally induced acceleration within the framework of a larger gravity system.

These slots in fact may open and close in time at a steady but randomly uneven rate, and thus occur in discrete phases. When they open, they are filled by small units of micro-matter that are like atoms of atoms. In a sense, gravitoids may appear, disappear and reappear constantly and regularly from within this background matrix, as a natural outcome of the displacement and dynamic "movement" of this matrix.

The universal gravitational field must be composed at a level far below that of the atom, and its constituent components, I refer to as gravitoids, must be quite common place and ubiquitous throughout the universe, though we have not yet detected them in any direct sense. Their exact dynamics are a mystery to us, but their consequences constrain us all in the most fundamental ways.

It is evident that they interact with nuclear mass in curious and critical ways, but exactly what the nature of this interaction is also remains a mystery. All physical mass in a bound and uncharged state serves to react with gravitoids in a way that result in the appearance of action at a distance. Furthermore, this action appears not to follow the fundamental laws of thermodynamics in certain discrete ways.

It is my contention that this pervasive field of gravitoids is the constituent result of the dynamic displacement of space-time continuum of our universe, including and especially the large massive bodies, in a systematic and predictable way. I will refer to this integrative process as universal gravitational integration.

Furthermore, gravitoidal relations appear to function on a constant and continuous basis through time, and on a comprehensive basis, everywhere at the same time, or what we can call universal synchronicity. We cannot prove universal synchronicity--we must hypothesize its possibility from relatively local conditions. If we look too deeply in any direction of our skies, we are faced only with the light of bygone eras.

Another way of stating this is to hypothesize that everywhere in the universe, however large, or infinite, it unfolds at the same instant, and always at the same instant. (Relativistic notions of time and motion not withstanding) It is my contention that the integrity of the physical universe, what as a model I will call the total space-time construct, is based upon the universal effect of an omnipresent gravitational field.

In essence, any gravitational field is the spime matrix itself in relative relation to the gravitational center. The universal gravitational field is the presumption of a total spime matrix that may or may not have a common gravitational center.

Universal synchronicity does not denote structural uniformity or universal evenness of the gravitational field. It is anything but uniform across its entire front. In fact, it is the principle of universal synchronicity that assures that its continuous unfolding will not be uniform across the entire field, but dynamic.

Continuous spime relations sets up the universal gravitational integrity of the space-time construct in a way that results in a universal propagational field. This universal propagational field is in essence a time-ordered construct. It is necessary to see spime relations as conferring integrity both to time and space, in equivalent ways. In this sense, spimes do not "travel" or move substantially within the gravitational field, except as alternative physical constructs with mass, but they appear to be able to be displaced short distances, which displacement sets up gravitational perturbations that resonate very long distances. They are somehow "locked" into position in a vast and endless weave. Conjecturally, we can suggest that spime energy is in distance very weak, but locally very strong, thus bounding it to narrow ranges within a larger network. I will call this spime network the universal gravitational matrix or space-time matrix.

In fact, I will hypothesize that locally the lattice structure of the matrix is in fact extremely strong, and it requires a tremendous amount of energy delivered at one point and at one time to disrupt or to tear its basic structure asunder. At the same time, it is relatively easy to displace its constituent components, spime, from its position into some other position within this structure, and it is also possible to twist and warp the structure in an almost infinite number of ways.

This gravitational spime matrix perpetuates itself through time, and is the basis for understanding time as a universal characteristic of change and causality.

It is possible that spime are in essence "atoms" of atoms, and as such exist in bound states with an ever so slight mass. Spime appear to be positionally fixed in relation to one another in a vast matrix that composes the space-time continuum.

Gravitational spime does interact with mass objects in striking ways. Whatever else may or may not happen between mass objects and gravitoids, it is my contention that at least mass objects result in the continuous displacement of spime, or what is the equivalent of gravitational displacement, through time. This displacement is the result of the fact that two bodies of physical mass cannot coexist at the same place at the same time. The existence of a heavy mass object serves to continuously displace gravitoids from the region it occupies by means of the compression and distortion of the local matrix it occupies. The density dependent relations of the spime matrix of the mass-object are fundamentally greater than the surrounding space-time manifold.

Spime continuously recurs to replace those displaced, only to be subsequently displaced in the same manner. The gravitational spime matrix tries to "fill in" the empty slots created by the displacement and compression of the larger mass object, but cannot, and therefore continues to displace gravitoids in a never-ending cycle of displacement/replacement.

This leads to a consideration about gravity systems, one that explains a common phenomenon observed in such systems. Basically, all other things being equal a larger mass object can gravitationally displace a smaller mass object, but a smaller mass object cannot gravitationally displace a larger mass object unless some work (i.e., acceleration) is done. All mass objects larger than a gravitoid may displace gravitoids, but gravitoids may never displace a larger object.

Gravitoidal mass therefore occurs in discrete units that are the direct proportion of atomic mass, such that the gravitational displacement by any mass is in direct proportion to that mass. In fact, it is a measure of mass, or, rather, the measure of mass is the measure of relative gravitational displacement within a system.

Gravitoids are like mini-atoms that come in discrete sizes. They coalesce into structural matrices due to gravitoidal energies. Gravitoids are uncharged in their normal state. Whether or not they can be ionized or charged is unknown, though it is possible that the propagation of electromagnetic radiation is achieved through the gravitoidal matrix such that gravitoids temporarily ionize or become charged.

This electromagnetic ionization of gravitoids for the transmission of photons entails that the mass of a gravitoids may be comparable to the mass of a photon. This represents a kind of dynamic displacement of the normal gravitoidal field that results in a kind of geometry characteristic of that of electromagnetic radiation and yet fundamentally different from the gravitational displacement caused by mass objects.

Subatomic particles predicted by the covering law model may be influenced by gravitoids, but their relativistic properties suggest that to some extent they are relatively independent of the spime matrix in their behavior.

If the gravitational spime matrix serves as a propagational field for electromagnetic radiation, then several things follow. The speed of light appears to be a universal constant that has a critical bearing on the understanding of the gravitoidal matrix. It is physically impossible for any object in the universe to travel at or greater than the speed of light.

The gravitational spime matrix is fairly fixed and permanent, but it is not inflexible and may not be unalterable. This matrix itself may be expanding at some rate, or changing in some other way we do not yet realize.

The gravitoidal matrix creates the universal background for the embedding of all larger mass objects and for electromagnetic radiation. Any mass-object is in essence a differential spime density distribution in space-time.

What follows is the conclusion that at a fraction of the subatomic level, the void of space is not a void at all, but is rather constituted by the quasi-permanent structure of the universal gravitoidal matrix. This matrix is composed of a four dimensional lattice structure that is filled with spime.

Our movements through such empty space result in gravitational spime displacement. We do not encounter resistance in space, or feel this displacement, because it is precisely equivalent to the mass of our own bodies in any and every direction possible. We ourselves would in the deepest reaches of "black space" become small bodies of gravitational energy, but at such small levels that its effects would be quite unnoticeable. It is essentially invisible, because all electromagnetic radiation propagates freely through it. It is therefore absolutely transparent.

This gravitational spime matrix is permanent. They are relatively fixed in a framework in relation to all other gravitoidal spime. If they exchange position in the matrix, which in its most basic state I refer to as primary displacement, they create a void by means of such displacement, which must result in the void being filled by another gravitoidal spime. I will refer to negative or indirect displacement as being the transfer of a spime to an empty slot in the matrix. In this sense, all empty slots must be filled by a neighboring spime. The result of this is a tendency towards gravitational equilibrium in which all slots of a given region are filled and more or less uniformly or at least randomly spaced. This is the basis of gravitational equilibrium and displacement that accounts for gravity systems. This gravitational displacement may normally occur at or above the speed of light.

Individually, gravitoidal spimes may not obey the properties dictated by their own mass, being of such slight mass, that they may behave more like a photon of light energy. There might be some minimum amount of mass necessary for a gravity system to occur. This would be the mass perhaps of at least one gravitoid or one unit of gravitoids. Thus gravitoids also have the possibility of behaving relativistically independently of their normal matrix.

Thus primary displacement can appear almost instantaneously at long range, but its effects are felt locally as if it were part of more normal space-time geometry. Displacement appears to occur without interference. In other words, energy transferred through displacement is not subject to the normal laws of thermodynamics. Therefore, there is no heat lost by gravitoids in the act of displacement and there is therefore no noticeable resistance to such primary displacement. Collectively, bound within their matrix, regions come to behave like mass objects, and thus assume a different set of non-relativistic properties expected of mass. I believe it is the warping, compression and expansion of the matrix itself which may require dynamic energy in the form that we understand it, as thermodynamic and possessing entropy, and which tends to act upon normal mass objects in ways that are predicted by thermodynamic principles.

In the deepest regions of black space, where the greatest voids of matter and mass can be hypothesized, I will suggest that the gravitational spime matrix in such areas approaches a condition of maximum uniform dispersion of spime, a condition that I will refer to as universal gravitational equilibrium. At this state, which I will call ideally absolute gravitational zero, the space-time structure is at is maximum stretch and is the possibility of displacement is uniformly omni-directional. This is a state of gravitational statis or static gravitation, and it can be assumed that any displacement occurring within such a system between gravitoidal spime is minimized and randomized in an infinite number of directions.

Spime appear perhaps to blink and this by itself can result in continuous minimal gravitational displacement. They can be displaced by other gravitoidal spime that are accelerated to a higher energy state, or by some other source of energy, or by another source of mass that results in the dynamic alteration of the energy threshold of the surrounding matrix. This form of externally motivated displacement other than the primary displacement by the fact of an empty slot, I will refer to as derivative or secondary displacement.

It is possible to conceive of mass as compressing the lattice structure such that the energy potential of the slot is permanently altered below that allowable for a gravitoidal spime to occupy. It creates a condition that, because a slot is open, a gravitoid is displaced from it.

Gravitoids may be thrown off much as light is cast off from its source--they do not necessarily knock into the neighboring gravitoid and then cause a long chain reaction. Rather, they speed off in a different unbound energy state, leaving a whole to be filled by another spime. Where do gravitoids that speed of at light speed end up? I hypothesize that their acceleration that is the result of their displacement is a finite state of transition that must last very briefly. They eventually randomly hit another gravitoid that they displace. This secondary displacement results in the gravitoid coming to a state of relative rest in a new slot that it can occupy. The secondarily displaced gravitoid travels until it, in turn, displaces another. This chain reaction of gravitoidal displacement propagates through the entire universe in an unending way, but with increasing distance tends to average out into equilibrium--into a random pattern of gravitational "noise" that tends to cancel itself out.

I will conjecture that the total energy potential of the universal gravitational field is infinite. I will hypothesize that this theoretical total is much greater than the potential energy contained in all the mass of the universe, and in all the electromagnetic radiation occurring in the universe. Most of this potential gravitational energy is effectively in a rest state, and remains unrealized within the entire system.

If a gravitoid spime is knocked out of its position by mass-compression of its slot, it does not thereby mean that the lattice structure surrounding that slot is damaged or permanently altered. Gravitoidal spime must normally step between slots in primary negative displacement, again in a basically random way.

There is a sense as well that the slots of spime may naturally become decompressed in empty space, relatively free of matters of mass displacement.

The energy exhibited by the spime in its state of rest is the minimum threshold energy required for its primary displacement. Therefore, I will hypothesize an ideal state of the gravitational spime matrix at absolute rest. I believe this state is never reached, but all natural gravitational systems tend toward this state by means of successive and continuous gravitoidal spime displacement.

Normal gravitoids can only be displaced in one direction at a time. The normal gravitational structure of the spime matrix at its theoretical state of maximum equilibrium, or absolute rest, must be, I predict, some crystallitic, geometric structure. I would like to think that the gravitoid is in essence a small 'helical" "bucky ball" that has the tetrahedral characteristic to form expandable geodesic matrices. A tetrahedral structure is satisfactory for a minimum structure that is equidistant from all points.
