Abstract
In
Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), the origin and evolution of the
universe are fundamentally reinterpreted through a frequency-based
cosmological framework that eliminates the need for an initial mass
singularity or explosive Big Bang. Instead, ECM posits that the
universe begins from a quiescent field of latent potential energy
defined purely by frequency, void of mass, motion, or classical
energy. The transition from this latent state into observable
dynamism occurs via a frequency displacement—a post-latent
transition—initiating the reversible emergence of apparent mass and
kinetic energy. This leads to a primordial energetic imbalance where
the magnitude of negative apparent mass exceeds gravitational mass,
generating a repulsive dynamic that drives early cosmic expansion.
In
ECM, mass is not intrinsic but emerges through the reversible
extraction of potential energy. The early universe evolves in two
distinct energetic states: an unobservable pre-Planckian regime where
negative apparent mass manifests as dark energy, and an observable
regime where parts of that energy settle into dark matter or
stabilize into visible matter. The equivalence ΔMᴍ
≡ −Mᵃᵖᵖ
governs these transformations, highlighting the cyclic and reversible
energetic rhythm of the cosmos. ECM thus proposes a non-singular,
wave-governed universe, where frequency, phase, and time govern mass
emergence and cosmic structure through reversible energetic
displacement rather than irreversible mass-based collapse or
inflation.

In
the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), the universe
does not begin with a massive explosion or singularity, as is
commonly depicted in traditional cosmological models. Instead, it
emerges from a quiet, uneventful field of latent potential energy, a
primordial state defined entirely by frequency. This field carries no
mass, no motion, and no classical energy in the conventional sense—it
is a state of pure potential, not yet disrupted by asymmetry or
displacement.
This
latent frequency condition represents the pre-dynamical phase, prior
to any observable transformation. Once a displacement occurs within
this field—triggered by frequency change over time or
phase—dynamism begins. This moment is referred to in ECM as the
post-latent transition. It marks the point where a portion of the
potential energy field is reversibly extracted, leading to the
manifestation of mass-equivalent dynamics.
Emergence
of Apparent Mass and the Initial Energetic Imbalance:
According
to ECM, the universe’s earliest energetic condition is defined by
an imbalance between two forms of mass: gravitational mass and
apparent mass. Gravitational mass corresponds to the familiar
attractive force that shapes structure in the cosmos. In contrast,
apparent mass—particularly in its negative form—acts as a
repulsive kinetic driver, emerging from displaced potential energy
and carrying the dynamical role of expansion.
At
the origin, ECM proposes that gravitational mass is less than the
magnitude of negative apparent mass. This asymmetry is critical, as
it leads to a powerful phase of repulsive expansion that temporarily
overwhelms gravitational attraction. In ECM interpretation, this is
the true beginning of observable cosmic evolution—driven not by
mass but by the displacement of frequency-defined energy into kinetic
form.
From
Frequency Displacement to Cosmic Expansion:
Once
the latent field undergoes displacement, the frequency shift results
in the appearance of mass-like behaviour, most notably in the form of
negative apparent mass. This mass is not permanent but rather a
transient energetic state, fuelled by the kinetic extraction of energy
from the original potential. It serves as the key agent behind the
initial high-velocity expansion of the universe—effectively
functioning as the ECM analogue to inflation.
As
this expansion proceeds, frequency gradually decays, and the kinetic
energy associated with the apparent mass begins to transform again.
Gravitational mass slowly increases, or the magnitude of apparent
mass decreases, leading eventually to a phase of gravitational
stabilization. This transition represents a cyclic energetic rhythm,
as the universe oscillates between potential and kinetic dominance,
between displacement and restoration.
Two
Distinct States in ECM Cosmology:
ECM
cosmology defines two distinct energetic states of the universe:
1.
The Unobservable State:
This
state exists prior to or beyond the Planck threshold. It is
characterized by a frequency regime that lies outside the limits of
measurement or observation. During this phase, frequency displacement
initiates the emergence of mass-equivalent forms. A portion of the
resulting apparent mass maintains sufficient dynamism to remain in
motion, manifesting as what ECM identifies as dark energy—a kinetic
component exhibiting anti-gravitational behaviour. Some of this dark
energy continues into the observable state and may later partially
transform into ordinary mass, associating itself with what is
recognized as dark matter.
2.
The Observable State:
This
state occurs within the Planck threshold, where frequency values fall
into measurable and interpretable domains. In this phase, the same
dynamic principle continues. Portions of the earlier apparent mass,
now with reduced dynamism, behave as dark matter—retaining some of
the anti-gravitational characteristics of dark energy but with
diminished motion. Simultaneously, other portions stabilize further
and contribute to the formation of observable matter, such as massive
particles and atomic structures.
Cyclic
Energetic Interpretation:
Central
to ECM is the idea that apparent mass is reversible. It arises from
the subtraction of potential energy and can, under the right
conditions, revert to its original form. This reversibility is not
just a theoretical curiosity—it forms the backbone of a cyclical
universe model where energy constantly oscillates between latent
potential, kinetic dynamism, and gravitational structure.
In
this view:
• Dark
energy represents the active phase of apparent mass, driving
accelerated expansion.
• Dark
matter marks the residual, decelerated phase, still unobservable but
less dynamic.
• Ordinary
matter emerges as the stabilized result of kinetic energy
transformations entering gravitational equilibrium.
ECM
thus presents a cosmological model that is wave-based rather than
mass-based, governed by transformations of frequency, phase, and
time—not by initial mass concentration or singularities. The
universe is born from energy displacement and evolves through
reversible energetic phases, offering a fundamentally different lens
through which to understand its origin, structure, and fate.
Energetic
Imbalance at the Origin: The Role of Apparent Mass and Frequency
Displacement in ECM
In
Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), the foundational relations among
frequency f, phase φ, and time Δt—including f₀, f₁, and
Δf—adhere to classical wave principles across all scales.
Crucially, the quantum constants such as Planck’s constant h and
quantized energy E = hf are not applicable at the universal origin,
since these constants are defined only within or below the Planck
threshold and lack physical meaning when extrapolated to
pre-Planckian regimes. (See: Relevant Appendix/ces on ECM constants
and Planck limitations.)
At
the heart of the universe’s origin, ECM proposes a fundamental
mass-energy asymmetry:
Mɢ
< |−Mᵃᵖᵖ|
This
inequality suggests that the negative apparent mass dominates over
gravitational mass during the universe's earliest phase. The
implications of this asymmetry are central to ECM cosmology:
• High-velocity
expansion is initiated by −ΔMᴍ-mediated
kinetic energy,
• A
net repulsive dynamic temporarily overcomes gravitational attraction,
• Gravitational
stability only emerges later, as Mɢ
increases or |−Mᵃᵖᵖ|
decreases.
In
earlier ECM discussions, it was shown that the universe originates
not from a singular mass event but from an uneventful field of latent
potential energy, defined solely by frequency. This latent energy
undergoes frequency displacement, initiating the appearance of
kinetic mass-like phenomena, particularly negative apparent mass
−Mᵃᵖᵖ,
which acts as a dynamical driver of cosmic inflation and initial
acceleration.
This
energetic cycle gradually evolves: as frequency decays, gravitational
mass Mɢ
vanishes, and the system reverts to a frequency-defined potential
state—restoring the pre-inflationary conditions in a rhythmic
manner. This formulation provides a mathematically coherent
connection between cosmological redshift, apparent mass displacement,
and energetic reversion, highlighting a cyclic rhythm of expansion
and contraction rooted in frequency dynamics rather than mass-based
singularities.
The
central equivalence governing this transformation is:
ΔMᴍ
≡ −Mᵃᵖᵖ
Here,
−Mᵃᵖᵖ
serves as the kinetic driver, translating reversible frequency
changes into observable energetic behaviour. (See: Appendices on
Energetic Reversion, Mass Displacement, and Cosmological Frequency
Cycles for derivations and further discussion.)
Latent
Frequency Field and the Dual-State Emergence of the Universe in ECM:
Post-Latent
Transition:
In
Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), the universe does not originate
from a singular mass-based event, but rather from an uneventful field
of latent potential energy, defined solely by frequency. The
governing energetic expression for this primordial state is:
PEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
= (PEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
− ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ)
+ ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
Where:
• −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
→
−Mᵃᵖᵖ
• −ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
→
−ΔMᴍ
This
reflects that the observable energetic portion of the universe arises
from a reversible extraction of potential energy, transforming into
kinetic mass-equivalent dynamics.
Two
Fundamental States of the Universe in ECM:
ECM
distinguishes between two primary energetic states of the universe:
Condition
1: Unobservable State (Beyond the Planck Scale, Pre-Origin):
• Defined
by f₀ →
f₁, where frequency displacement initiates energetic asymmetry.
• Governing
equivalence:
ΔPEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
≡ KEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
→
ΔMᴍ
≡ −ΔMᴍ
• In
this pre-Planckian regime, a portion of ΔMᴍ
sustains cosmic dynamism as KEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
and manifests as dark energy (DE) — exhibiting anti-gravitational
behaviour.
• Some
of this dark energy persists into Condition 2, partially converting
into observable mass Mᴍ,
binding with dark matter (DM).
Condition
2: Observable State (Within the Planck Scale):
• Transition
defined by fᴘ
→
fᴏᵦₛₑᵣᵥₐᵦₗₑ,
where the frequency enters the detectable domain.
• The
same kinetic-potential equivalence applies:
KEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ
→
ΔMᴍ
≡ −ΔMᴍ
• A
portion of ΔMᴍ
that loses dynamism (↓KEᴇᴄᴍ,ᵤₙᵢᵥ)
or regains gravitational coupling becomes dark matter (DM) — still
exhibiting anti-gravitational behaviour but with reduced kinetic
drive.
Energetic
Interpretation in ECM
• The
equivalence ΔMᴍ
≡ −ΔMᴍ
expresses the reversible nature of energetic transformation: apparent
mass emerges from the subtraction of potential energy and may later
revert.
• Dark
energy corresponds to the active kinetic component of apparent mass
that fuels expansion.
• Dark
matter emerges as the residual, decelerated kinetic component,
gravitationally reactive but still non-luminous.
This
dynamic view frames the entire evolution of the universe as an
oscillatory frequency-driven transformation, where latent frequency
displaces into mass-equivalent motion, then reverts through decay.
Mass is thus not fundamental but a transient expression of energetic
displacement across phase and time.
