General Relativity and the Bending of a Stick: From the Perception of the Mind to the Curvature of Spacetime

Guided by the Buddha's invitation to observe one's own form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness — to recognize impermanence, suffering, and non-self — this paper takes the everyday perception of a bent stick propped against a wall as a starting point to draw an analogy with the spacetime curvature described by General Relativity. It proposes that curvature is not an inherent geometry of spacetime, but rather the perceptual result of the deformation of the mind's envelope surface projected onto the reading interface. Within the framework of World Quantum Theory, the field equation of General Relativity is rigorously derived as the reading equation of the world quantum's macro-rotational wavelength: G_Z = 8πG_0 T_Z / c^4. The gravitational constant G is shown to be a local parameter of Earth's projection layer (x=2π), and the cosmological constant Λ is an artificial correction to this limitation. This paper introduces embryological evidence — the heart emerges first in the nested structure of the envelope surface — to demonstrate the natural advantage of the heart as the anchor vortex layer. Throughout the paper, form is mapped to the reading of envelope surface deformation, while sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are mapped to the complete process of the mind's perception-selection-breathing-self-reference of curvature. It is argued that when physicists describe spacetime curvature, the true reference origin is not external coordinates, but their own mind.
