Tension and Compression Master Framework v.1

ersion 3 extends the framework with Virtual Attractor Theory — the proposal that systems may be organized by non-physical attractors (goals, values, stories, institutions) that exert measurable influence on behavior despite having no direct physical mass. A working concept of virtual mass is introduced, along with the Attractor Cascade model describing how physical attractors generate virtual attractors through repeated rhythmic embodiment over time. Rhythm and frequency are additionally proposed as structural observables complementing lag time. These additions are explicitly labeled speculative and hypothesis-generating. The core empirical content from v2 — lag time inventory spanning 10 orders of magnitude across traffic, neural, endocrine, infrastructure, and social domains — is unchanged.
