The Primordial Mass-Torsional Potential in G-MaTT: A Pre-Geometric Origin of Spacetime, Mass, and Cosmic Structure

Abstract We propose that the universe originates from a dimensionless, pre-geometric state: a single point of vanishing—but nonzero—torsional potential \(\mathcal{M}_\mu\). This potential is not located in space or time; rather, it is the ontological seed from which spacetime, mass, and cosmic structures emerge via a topological phase transition (initiation). In Generalized Mass as Twisted Time (G-MaTT), \(\mathcal{M}_\mu\) is the fundamental entity—phase in its branching generates time, twist in its emergent field \(\hat{M}_\mu\) generates mass, and spatial geometry arises from non-commutativity of phase histories. We show that: The Planck frequency \(\Omega_0 = c^5 / \hbar G\) is the natural clock rate of \(\mathcal{M}_\mu\), The de Broglie relation \(\lambda = h/p\) follows from \(|\nabla \theta| = p / \hbar\), Cosmic voids and clusters are frozen imprints of low- and high-swing \(\mathcal{M}_\mu\)-branches, Macroscopic quantum tunneling is a topological transition when \(\Delta \mathcal{S}_T < \kappa\), Neutron interferometry detects amplified torsion via cadmium-induced TUT desynchronization. This framework eliminates the need for inflationary fluctuations, particle dark matter, or extra dimensions. The universe is not a random accident—it is the deterministic unfolding of a geometric potential that was almost nothing, yet not nothing.
