Topological Kinematics and the Unified Vortex-Entropy Hypothesis: A Deterministic Ontology of Stationary Light, Phase Data, and Cosmological Recurrence

Date: March 2026 Repository: Zenodo Preprints Classification: Post-Quantum Deterministic Ontology & Unified Field Theory Abstract This paper presents a formal synthesis of two non-mainstream theoretical frameworks: the Theory of Stationary Light (TSL) and the Unified Vortex & Entropy Hypothesis (UVEH). By redefining the speed of light (c) as a static vacuum density rather than a transit velocity, we establish a deterministic, geometric ontology of matter as topological knots (vortices) of stationary light. We introduce the Universal System Rule (2\pi m_0 v^2 r = -c^2), derive Planck's constant (h) as a geometric closing cost, and expand the physical framework into an informational Master Equation incorporating a multiversal phase variable (e^{i\theta}) and a completed temporal volume (-T). Finally, we demonstrate empirical consilience by deriving subatomic radii and monoisotopic stability parameters, resolving the tension between cosmic entropy and deterministic recurrence.
