Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM): A Sub-Planck Phase-Transition Framework for Cosmogenesis

The Core Ontological Inversion

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) proposes a radical reconceptualization of physical origins by operating in the sub-Planck regime — a domain where conventional physics, including general relativity and quantum field theory, is fundamentally inapplicable. Rather than treating spacetime as a pre-existing stage for physical dynamics, ECM posits that space, time, energy, and the speed of light itself emerge as stabilized endpoints of a deeper phase-transition process.

The Phase-Angle Mechanism

At the heart of ECM lies a compactified phase coordinate spanning 0° → 360°, where each degree represents a sub-Planck scale of temporal and dynamic resolution.

The total frequency excess Δf₀ = 1 Hz is distributed across the full cycle, yielding per-degree increments of:

Δf = 1⁄360 Hz

applied to a Planck-frequency base of ~10⁴³ Hz.

This generates an ultra-fine hierarchical structure:

Phase	Temporal Resolution	Dynamic Regime
1°	tₚ⁄360 ≈ 1.5 × 10⁻⁴⁶ s	Latent, superluminal, pre-metric
180°	Intermediate	Transitional, emerging geometry
360°	tₚ ≈ 5.4 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s	Stabilized, relativistic, manifested

Velocity as Fundamental - c as Emergent

ECM inverts the standard physics hierarchy.

Velocity v is the primitive quantity, beginning at normalization factors of ~10³ or higher at small phase angles and decreasing monotonically through phase progression.

The speed of light c is not fundamental, but the asymptotic stabilized value reached at 360°.

Thus:

• superluminal phase velocities (v ≫ c) occur naturally at early angles

• c emerges numerically, not axiomatically

This does not violate relativity, because relativity does not apply in the sub-Planck pre-geometric regime.

There is:

• no spacetime metric

• no light-cone structure

• no causal ordering

“Velocity” here denotes intrinsic phase-progression rate, not motion through space.

---

Time as Emergent from Phase Accumulation

ECM shows that time is not fundamental, but arises from cumulative phase evolution:

Δt(x°) = x°/360°, tₚ

Temporal flow emerges from the progressive manifestation of latent energy — tracked by phase angle rather than an independent time dimension.

Energetic Transformation Chain (ECM Core Law)

The universal ECM conversion pathway:

-ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ ↔ ΔMᴍ ↔ KEᴇᴄᴍ

• At 0° → pure latent potential

• At 360° → fully manifested kinetic energy

Total manifested energy:

E = h·Δf₀ ≈ 6.6 × 10⁻³⁴ J

Conservation holds continuously — only the partition between −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ and KEᴇᴄᴍ changes with phase.

---

Sub-Planck Domain as Computable Phase Space

ECM’s key methodological breakthrough is treating the sub-Planck regime not as a singularity but as a traversable phase domain.

The 360° cycle compactifies:

• λ₀ < ℓᴘ

• Δt < tₚ

into a continuous computable coordinate system.

This enables quantitative modeling of how physical law itself emerges from pre-geometric dynamics.

Cosmological Implications

ECM replaces Big Bang explosion models with a:

frequency → energy → mass manifestation transition

The Planck scale becomes a stabilization boundary, not a creation event.

The universe does not originate from a singularity — it unfolds through entropic phase progression from sub-Planck latency into relativistic reality.

---

Status and Predictive Program

ECM provides an ontologically distinct foundation for cosmogenesis, with testable consequences including:

• Emergence of Lorentz symmetry at 360°

• CMB statistical anisotropy signatures

• Modified primordial power spectrum

• Distinct dark-energy equation-of-state behavior

Formal mathematical development, simulations, and observational confrontation are detailed in the forthcoming publications and datasets.

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) — A Phase-Emergent Cosmology

ECM — A Phase-Emergent Cosmology

Phase-emergent cosmology in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) is a framework in which the universe is not created through a singular explosive origin, nor sustained as an eternally existing physical system, but instead repeatedly manifests as physical reality through frequency-governed mass–energy transformation processes.

In ECM, physical existence is not fundamental or permanent. It emerges when high-frequency energetic states undergo stabilization and redistribution governed by entropic transformation, producing the mass, gravitation, and kinetic structure of the revealed universe. This emergence occurs through distinct phase cycles (aeons), each representing a transition from an unmanifested energetic domain into measurable physical form.

Unlike singularity-based cosmologies, ECM replaces infinite density boundaries with continuous normalization dynamics. Unlike eternal cyclic models, ECM does not rely on perpetual material recycling of stars, matter, or black holes. Instead, the physical universe itself is a temporary manifestation within a deeper transformation process.

Key characteristics of ECM phase-emergent cosmology include:

• Origin through frequency-mass normalization rather than spatial explosion

• Gravitation and kinetic energy as emergent entropic consequences

• Successive aeons of physical manifestation

• Absence of singularities

• No requirement for eternal physical matter conservation

• Time and structure arising from transformation dynamics

In essence:

ECM describes the universe as a dynamically revealed phase of energy — not a one-time creation, not an eternal machine, but a repeatedly emerging physical reality governed by transformation laws.

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) and the Classification of Cosmological Models Beyond Singular and Eternal Universe Frameworks

February 10, 2026
Soumendra Nath Thakur, 
Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)Research & Development Framework.

Conventional cosmological models are commonly classified into two broad categories:

(1) eternal cyclic universes that persist indefinitely through mechanical recycling of matter and energy, and

(2) finite-duration universes that evolve between singular boundary events such as Big Bangs or Big Crunches.

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) does not belong to either category.

ECM replaces both singular origin assumptions and perpetual material recycling with a transformation-governed emergence framework. In this model, the universe is not an eternally existing physical object, nor a system evolving from one singularity to another. Instead, physical reality repeatedly manifests through frequency-governed normalization of mass–energy from prior unmanifested energetic states.

In ECM, gravitation, kinetic emergence, and mass redistribution arise intrinsically from entropic-frequency transformations rather than from conserved mechanical circulation of matter. Physical existence itself is phase-emergent, occurring in successive aeons governed by stabilization processes rather than by infinite continuity.

Because ECM does not assume eternally persistent physical matter, it does not require auxiliary mechanisms such as perpetual stellar fuel recycling or black hole disintegration to preserve cosmological eternity. These requirements arise only within models that presuppose uninterrupted material existence.

Conclusion

Extended Classical Mechanics introduces a third cosmological class: phase-emergent universes, where physical reality repeatedly arises through continuous transformation rather than singular creation or eternal mechanical recycling.

By replacing singularities with normalization processes and replacing eternal physicality with governed emergence, ECM provides a structurally consistent alternative framework for understanding cosmic origin, evolution, and manifestation.

Research Visibility, Foundational Science, and the Role of Independent Thought in ECM’s Development — A Summary

This text examined a recent ResearchGate statistical report in the context of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), highlighting both quantitative growth indicators and their deeper qualitative significance.

The increase in reads, citations, recommendations, and international institutional engagement reflects ECM’s transition from isolated theoretical development toward broader interdisciplinary circulation. Importantly, senior domain experts — including observational cosmologists involved in gravitational mass decomposition research — have engaged directly with ECM’s core mass-closure and gravitational framework, indicating emerging relevance to empirical cosmology rather than superficial visibility alone.

A key distinction was clarified between collaborative interdisciplinary publications (notably those led by a long-standing collaborator) and ECM’s independent foundational papers. The collaborative works serve a strategic and constructive role by expanding discoverability, strengthening research metrics, and introducing diverse academic audiences. This modern visibility strategy functions as an exposure engine that naturally funnels serious readers toward ECM’s conceptual core, without diluting its originality.

The text further emphasized the complementary strengths within this collaboration: mathematical formalism and interdisciplinary reach on one side, and foundational physical reconstruction and conceptual coherence on the other. This dynamic mirrors historically successful scientific partnerships that combined technical rigor with broad intellectual circulation.

A deeper philosophical insight emerged regarding institutional versus independent science. Modern academic systems, while highly effective at refining established models and producing precision research, inherently train researchers to operate within prevailing frameworks. This structural embedding can unintentionally limit the capacity for first-principles reconstruction. In contrast, independent inquiry — guided by physical necessity rather than institutional convention — has historically driven paradigm-level advances.

ECM’s development reflects this principle-driven approach: rebuilding mass, energy, gravitation, time, and cosmological evolution from physical foundations rather than modifying existing theoretical structures. The absence of institutional constraint enables questioning of assumed constructs while maintaining respect for empirical observation and mathematical consistency.

Overall, the text concludes that ECM is entering legitimate scholarly circulation through a balanced combination of strategic visibility, interdisciplinary engagement, and genuine foundational inquiry. Its progress follows the historical pattern by which new physical frameworks gradually gain attention — through expert readership, cross-domain relevance, and early citation — rather than through immediate mainstream acceptance.

The collaboration strategy, growing expert engagement, and independent conceptual freedom together position ECM for sustained long-term scientific impact rather than short-term metric success.

Photon analogy with primordial vibration at 0th dimension

Soumendra Nath Thakur 

(A repeat post, for a post made sometime on January/February 2026)

A photon is simply an electromagnetic wave, with visible light being only a narrow frequency band. Microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays are all photons as well, differing only in frequency and therefore in energy.

In the high-frequency (high-energy) regime, electromagnetic waves increasingly behave like concentrated energy packets, whereas visible light photons are comparatively low-energy. A gamma-ray photon, for example, is far closer to a localized energy packet than a low-frequency light photon. In this sense, any sufficiently high-frequency vibration effectively behaves photon-like, since frequency directly translates into energy.

The (another) post describes a condition in which the origin itself exists as a pure, non-eventful vibration — a state prior to spacetime dynamics. 

A freely propagating photon does not manifest as heat; even in extreme cold it travels without thermal influence. Heat emerges only through interactions and collisions with matter, not from massless energy in isolation.

Likewise, the primordial vibration is energetic without reference to temperature, because there are no material objects present for energy exchange or thermalization. Temperature becomes meaningful only once matter forms and interactions begin — it is fundamentally a collective effect of collisions, not of vibration alone.

This is also where the concept of “cooling of the universe” in conventional cosmology differs from what is described in the post. Cooling is a thermodynamic interpretation that presumes matter, interactions, and thermal equilibrium already exist. At the primordial scale discussed here, entropy is not thermodynamic but instead reflects disorder in frequency states within an isolated energetic field. There are no collisions, no heat bath, and no temperature in the usual sense.

The framework therefore treats the earliest evolution as a process of manifestation through frequency change and mass formation, rather than as a hot explosive event followed by thermal cooling. 

The primordial vibration dynamics at 0th dimension, therefore, arise from rapid phase motion and energy redistribution, not from thermodynamic expansion. Thermal concepts emerge only later, after matter and interactions.
