Abstract

Field Structure Theory (FST) arises from the realization that to know what mass and energy, space and time are, it is necessary to know the structure of an action field. Reality arises from a field of action. Objects in the field are spatial events and as such are some form of polyhedron however simple or complex, regular or irregular. The business of FST 3-D geometry is to identify and catalog 3-D form. The business of physics is similar. The problem for Field Structure Theory (FST) has been to identify the relatedness between action and the form action takes. The unifying factor between action and form is structure. Structure is relationship.

In order to understand how action can create form in 3D, it became necessary to look for how action links and form structures within a form as well as between forms. Furthermore, it is necessary to understand how action builds hierarchies of form. The common thread to all this is structure, the study of how action acts.

The universe builds with action. FST defines how action becomes energy, how energy becomes mass, how mass and energy result in the particles of fundamental matter and energy, how particles structure them selves to become atoms, atoms molecules, molecules organisms. Continuing in an unbroken chain, it is reasonable to assume the structural continuum is unbroken as solar systems lead to galaxies, galactic clusters, and the universe.

Contemporary mainstream physics, with its investment in quantum mechanics, has provided us with a great amount of detail as to the collective nature of objects and how objects act and react with each other, moderated by a field. However, the difficulty remains in finding a description of a field that does not rely on the particles in the field for its descriptive constructs. If the field were fully understood and there had evolved a way to describe the field in its own terms, without relying on particles, we would know by now how particles are related, why they have the mass they have, their relationship to gravity, how to structurally explain spin, handedness, the parameters of a particles ability to handle energy inputs and out-takes, etc.; the list is long. Most perplexing has been our inability to unite the known fields. Trying to describe a field, by describing a piece of matter in the field, is like trying to understand a string by describing a knot. What is unique about a knot is not even apparent in the string. Likewise, that which is unique about a string is not apparent in a knot. This has been the source of the problem faced by physics. It confirms the field by what the particles can tell us about the field and that information is secondary at best, and leads to wholly misleading conclusions.

FST regards particles, both boson and fermion particles, to be knots of action in as much as knots are localized special circumstances of the string. Mass and energy are knots of action, remembering that some knots attempt to open, while other knots attempt to close (become tighter). The single most revealing aspect of a knot is that the line of action, the string, does NOT intersect its self but instead interacts with its self. The line of force is not interrupted in a knot and the string stays intact. The knot is dependent entirely on the dynamics of the string. There can be a string without a knot but there cannot be a knot without a string. The key word is INTERACT. Old physics is built on the concept of intersecting lines of force. FST physics is built on interactions of force. Force can be modified by interaction, but not terminated as happens when lines of force intersect.


The axioms of FST geometry are:

· Lines of action (force) do not intersect, they interact
· Lines of action never end, they are loops
· Lines of action have dimension both spatially and temporally
