The prevailing scientific landscape treats gravitation and particle interactions as belonging to fundamentally different layers of physical reality. Within general relativity (GR), gravity is not a force transmitted through space but rather the geometric deformation of spacetime itself in response to mass-energy distributions. In contrast, quantum field theory (QFT) conceives the elementary interactions of nature—electromagnetic, weak, and strong—through the excitation and exchange of quantized fields defined over spacetime. Both frameworks have achieved profound empirical success in their respective domains; however, they are built upon ontologies that resist reconciliation. GR presupposes a smooth continuum governed by deterministic geometry, whereas QFT presupposes a discretized field structure governed by probabilistic dynamics. Their mutual incompatibility has driven decades of theoretical research in pursuit of a unified picture of nature.
The present paper introduces a synthesis grounded in Quantum Dialectics, an approach that interprets physical reality as a dynamic interplay between cohesive and decohesive processes within a quantized spatial substrate. According to this framework, mass is not an intrinsic property of matter but a state produced by nuclear cohesive condensation of space. The strong nuclear force binds quarks into nucleons and nucleons into atomic nuclei; in doing so, it generates highly concentrated zones of spatial cohesion. These regions constitute what we identify macroscopically as mass. Once mass forms, it does not remain isolated from its environment; it continuously draws uncondensed space inward to restore equilibrium between cohesive and decohesive potentials. This inward flow or extraction of space manifests externally as gravitation.
From this perspective, gravity is not a separate or independent force but the macroscopic emergent expression of the cumulative nuclear cohesive effects distributed throughout matter. Each nucleus contributes a minute contraction of the spatial field, and the gravitational field of a macroscopic body represents the sum of these microphysical events. Gravitation thus becomes the long-range consequence of nuclear cohesion, propagated across the spatial field rather than mediated by particle exchange or metric curvature alone. In this way, the model preserves the empirical validity of general relativity and quantum field theory while revealing the deeper mechanism that underlies both: the dialectical tension between condensed and uncondensed space.
The proposed paradigm does not replace GR with a quantum model, nor does it force QFT to conform to geometric interpretations. Instead, it situates them as distinct dynamical phases of a single underlying substrate. GR describes the behavior of the spatial field in regimes where cohesive extraction dominates on macroscopic scales, generating the smooth curvature structure that governs planetary, stellar, and galactic dynamics. QFT describes the behavior of the same spatial field when decohesive fluctuations dominate on microscopic scales, giving rise to quantized excitations and probabilistic interactions. Once these two theoretical domains are understood as complementary expressions of a unified medium rather than competing worldviews, the long-standing conceptual divide between continuum and quantization begins to dissolve.
Because this reinterpretation establishes a common substrate across scales, it provides explanatory continuity from the nuclear interior of atoms to the largest structures of the universe. Gravity becomes understandable as a consequence of nuclear physics; stellar stability becomes a product of the interplay between nuclear cohesion and gravitational extraction; galactic formation emerges from the reinforcement of spatial condensation; and cosmic expansion represents the large-scale resurgence of decohesive dynamics. Importantly, phenomena currently attributed to dark matter and dark energy can be reformulated within this framework without invoking additional hypothetical substances. Instead, gravitational anomalies and accelerated expansion are treated as phase effects arising from variations in the balance of cohesive and decohesive forces across different cosmic environments.
General relativity stands as one of the most profound intellectual achievements of modern science, reconceptualizing gravitation not as a force transmitted between bodies but as a geometric deformation of spacetime itself. According to Einstein’s field equations, the distribution of mass-energy dictates the curvature of the spacetime metric, and the resulting curvature determines the motion of physical bodies. In this formulation, gravitation emerges from the very structure of spacetime rather than from the mediation of particles or the exchange of momentum. The smoothness and continuity of the spacetime manifold are therefore not incidental features of GR but fundamental prerequisites for the theory’s mathematical coherence and explanatory power.
Quantum field theory (QFT), however, offers a radically different framework for understanding the fundamental interactions of nature. Instead of continuous curvature, QFT describes physical reality in terms of quantized fields whose excitations manifest as particles, with interactions mediated by gauge bosons [Weinberg, 1995]. The electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces are modeled successfully through this approach, and the Standard Model has produced some of the most precisely validated predictions in the history of science. Yet this formulation depends on discreteness, probabilistic transitions, and perturbative expansions over a fixed spacetime background. Where GR requires smooth geometric continuity, QFT requires granular quantization and stochastic dynamics.
For more than four decades, theoretical physics has sought to reconcile these contrasting perspectives. Efforts such as loop quantum gravity, string theory, M-theory, and emergent gravity models attempt either to quantize spacetime or derive gravitational behavior from microscopic information-theoretic principles [Rovelli, 2004; Verlinde, 2011]. Although mathematically rich and conceptually provocative, none of these proposals have achieved empirical confirmation. The difficulties encountered are not merely technical but ontological: each theory assumes foundations that the other cannot accommodate. One begins with a differentiable continuum; the other begins with discrete quanta. The inability of GR and QFT to mesh smoothly stems from the fact that both frameworks treat their own starting assumptions as fundamental rather than emergent.
The conceptual framework of Quantum Dialectics introduces a different line of inquiry. Instead of choosing between continuity or quantization, it posits that spacetime is a quantized material medium whose behavior can appear continuous or particulate depending on the dominance of internal forces. At the most fundamental level, this medium is governed not by static properties but by dynamic tensions between cohesive and decohesive processes. Cohesion binds spatial quanta together into dense configurations, while decohesion disperses them into low-density fields. Gravitation, mass, and nuclear binding do not arise from separate mechanisms but represent different dominance regimes of these internal forces across distinct quantum layers of reality.
Within this model, no contradiction arises between smooth curvature and quantized interaction; each is a manifestation of the same substrate under different structural conditions. When cohesion dominates, spacetime behaves like a continuous geometric manifold, enabling the curved spacetime dynamics of GR. When decohesion dominates, spacetime behaves like a quantized field, giving rise to the probabilistic and particulate properties described by QFT. This approach eliminates the need to force one paradigm into the framework of the other and instead proposes a unified ontological foundation from which both theories can be recovered as scale-dependent phases of the same underlying physical reality.
Contemporary developments in theoretical and experimental physics increasingly challenge the classical assumption that space is an inert void. Investigations into vacuum fluctuations, the Casimir effect, and long-range quantum entanglement collectively indicate that even the so-called “empty” vacuum possesses structure, energy, and causal influence [Casimir, 1948; Blais et al., 2021]. Rather than being an absence of matter, space exhibits measurable properties and contributes actively to physical processes. These findings have opened new conceptual possibilities for understanding the fabric of reality and have encouraged a return to the idea that space itself is a physical medium rather than merely a geometric container.
Quantum Dialectics builds on this trajectory by proposing that space is fundamentally a quantized material substrate composed of discrete units that can exist in different states of organization. These units are capable of entering into relations of cohesion, where they bind together to form high-density configurations, and decohesion, where they remain dispersed and weakly organized. In this view, space is not a passive backdrop for physical events but the primary ontological field from which mass, forces, and energy emerge as different configurations of cohesive–decohesive dynamics. Space becomes an active participant in the formation of matter and the evolution of the universe.
Within this framework, what we macroscopically identify as mass corresponds to regions in which cohesive ordering of spatial quanta reaches high density, producing condensed and structurally stable formations. The strong nuclear force plays a central role in generating such states by tightly binding quantum constituents into nuclei, thereby establishing zones where cohesion dominates overwhelmingly. In contrast, free space represents regions where decohesive potential dominates, meaning spatial quanta are weakly structured, highly fluctuating, and widely distributed. The vacuum is therefore not uniform but characterized by gradients in cohesion and decohesion, generating physical consequences across multiple scales.
This intrinsic duality of cohesion and decohesion offers a conceptual substrate that is \emph{simultaneously compatible} with the mathematical structures of both general relativity and quantum field theory. In regimes where cohesive ordering is dominant, spatial units behave cooperatively and manifest as a smooth continuum, naturally aligning with the metric tensor formalism of GR and the geometric description of curvature. Conversely, in regimes where decohesion is dominant, spatial units behave as quantized excitations, supporting the operator formalism of QFT and its description of probabilistic field interactions. The two pillars of modern physics therefore need not be forced into one another’s frameworks; rather, they arise as different dynamical phases of an underlying quantized spatial medium.
In the framework of Quantum Dialectics, force is reconceptualized not as an external agent acting upon matter but as a manifestation of spatial modulation within a quantized material medium. Rather than treating force as something that pushes or pulls objects, the quantum-dialectical view interprets every physical interaction as a transformation in the cohesion–decohesion balance of space. When space is applied—that is, when decohesive spatial potential is directed outward to resist or reverse condensation—the result appears as repulsive or expansive dynamics. Conversely, when space is extracted—flowing inward toward a region of heightened cohesion—the result manifests as attractive or contractive dynamics. Under this model, gravitation, electromagnetism, nuclear forces, and even mechanical interactions can be described as different modes of applied or extracted space operating across distinct quantum layers. Force, therefore, is not an independent phenomenon but the observable expression of how space reorganizes itself in response to disequilibrium, driving physical systems toward new configurations of coherence.
Within the domain of nuclear physics, the strong nuclear interaction is universally recognized as the most powerful cohesive force known in nature, surpassing both electromagnetic attraction and gravitational binding by many orders of magnitude. It operates at sub-femtometer scales, binding quarks together to form hadrons and subsequently cementing protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei [Wilczek, 2004]. The extraordinary strength of this interaction is responsible not only for the structural integrity of atomic matter but also for the overwhelming majority of the mass that composes ordinary baryonic matter. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has shown that the rest mass of nucleons arises predominantly not from the intrinsic masses of constituent quarks, but from the confinement energy produced by the strong force fields that hold them together.
Quantum Dialectics advances a reinterpretation of this process by proposing that nuclear cohesion does more than store energy; it actively transforms the structure of space itself. According to this view, the strong interaction condenses quantized spatial units into a high-density cohesive phase, creating regions where the spatial field becomes maximally ordered and internally bound. The familiar macroscopic quantity known as rest mass therefore corresponds to this condensed state of space rather than to the existence of an independent substance called “matter.” In this sense, the atomic nucleus does not merely occupy space—it is a reconfigured and locally intensified state of space, shaped by extreme cohesive dynamics.
This interpretation aligns with three major pillars of contemporary particle physics. First, it is consistent with QCD’s treatment of confinement energy as the dominant contributor to nucleon mass, implying that mass originates from field cohesion rather than intrinsic particulate properties. Second, it integrates smoothly with the Higgs mechanism, which describes mass acquisition through interaction with a field; however, the quantum-dialectical model shifts emphasis from a scalar-field interaction to the internal restructuring of space through cohesive condensation. Third, it resonates with experimentally measured nuclear binding energies, where the stability and mass of nuclei depend on the degree of cohesive energy density concentrated within them.
From this perspective, mass becomes not an ontologically primitive phenomenon but a state of the spatial field undergoing extreme cohesion. Matter is no longer conceptualized as something placed in space but as a structural modification of space. The nucleus, and by extension every massive object in the universe, represents a region in which space has been transformed into a dense, cohesive configuration. This view dissolves the long-standing dualism between matter and space and replaces it with a unified spatial ontology in which mass emerges wherever cohesion sufficiently dominates decohesion.
If mass is understood as a region of condensed cohesive space, then it follows that the spatial field surrounding a massive object exists in a comparatively less cohesive, more decohesive state. This difference in cohesion creates a disequilibrium within the spatial medium itself. The universe continuously tends toward restoring equilibrium between regions of high and low cohesive density. Consequently, uncondensed space flows inward toward regions of maximal spatial condensation. This ongoing compensatory inflow is what appears at macroscopic scales as gravitational acceleration. Rather than conceptualizing gravity as an attractive force acting between distant bodies, the quantum-dialectical framework interprets it as the dynamic self-regulation of the spatial field, driven by gradients of cohesive intensity.
Under this interpretation, the familiar geodesic motion predicted by general relativity can be understood in a new light. Objects follow the straightest possible paths—geodesics—within a curved spacetime manifold not because they are being pulled by a force but because the curvature represents the path of least energetic resistance within a field seeking to reconcile cohesive and decohesive tensions. Curvature thus ceases to be an abstract geometric property and becomes instead the macroscopic signature of space being physically extracted into cohesive mass concentrations. The warping of spacetime is not a symbolic description of gravitational behavior but a direct mathematical reflection of the material redistribution of space toward regions where cohesion dominates.
This interpretation is consistent with several foundational principles of gravitational physics. The universality of free fall—the observation that all objects accelerate identically in a gravitational field regardless of their masses or compositions—follows naturally from the fact that it is space itself that flows, carrying objects along rather than dragging them differentially based on their properties. Likewise, energy–momentum conservation in curved spacetime aligns with the idea that spatial flow adjusts continuously to maintain global equilibrium within the Einstein field equations. Furthermore, the framework positions gravitation as a gradient-driven field effect, in which the strength of gravitational acceleration depends on the steepness of the cohesion gradient rather than on mysterious action at a distance.
Taken together, these insights situate gravity not as a fundamental interaction independent of other forces but as the emergent dynamical expression of spatial disequilibrium caused by nuclear cohesion. In regions where spatial condensation is strongest, gravitational effects are greatest; where cohesion weakens, gravity fades. Gravitation is therefore the macroscopic face of a microscopic process: the continuous inward migration of space toward regions made cohesive through nuclear binding.
If nuclear cohesion is understood as the mechanism by which space condenses into the dense structural phase we identify as mass, then the gravitational field generated by any physical body must arise from the accumulated effects of spatial condensation within it. At the microscopic scale, the strong nuclear interaction binds quarks into nucleons and nucleons into atomic nuclei, creating regions of extreme cohesive density. Each nucleus, by virtue of this cohesion, contributes an infinitesimal contraction of the surrounding spatial field. Isolated nuclei exert gravitational effects far too small to detect individually, but when astronomically large numbers of nuclei are present—as in stars, planets, and other macroscopic bodies—their combined contributions produce a coherent and large-scale spatial extraction effect. What we call gravity is therefore the summed influence of countless microphysical contractions of space produced by nuclear cohesion. It is not mathematical formalism of force transmission but as a conceptual representation of emergent order. In this model, the gravitational intensity of a body is not mysteriously linked to its “mass” as an abstract scalar quantity but arises from the total amount of cohesive work performed by nuclear interactions within its structure. This interpretation explains why gravitational strength correlates so reliably with mass-energy content: the greater the total nuclear cohesion manifested within a body, the more space it condenses and the stronger its associated gravitational field becomes.
The same reasoning elucidates why gravitational binding depends not only on the quantity of matter but also on the density and proximity of nuclei. Objects with similar masses can produce different gravitational effects if their nuclear packing differs. For example, ordinary planetary matter contains nuclei spaced relatively far apart, leading to moderate gravitational fields. In contrast, neutron stars compress nuclear matter into an extraordinarily compact state, maximizing cohesion at near–strong-interaction densities. Accordingly, neutron stars generate staggering gravitational fields far out of proportion to their size, not because they possess exotic gravitational properties but because their internal cohesion has reached an almost maximal threshold. Ultimately, black holes represent the limiting case, where nuclear cohesion intensifies to such an extent that space collapses into a state of maximal condensation, and gravitational extraction becomes effectively absolute.
Viewed through this lens, gravity is not a separate or fundamental interaction mediated by an independent boson or curvature mechanism, but the large-scale emergent signature of microphysical nuclear cohesion propagated through the spatial field. The gravitational architecture of the universe—from the formation of stars and galaxies to the behavior of extreme astrophysical objects—traces the cumulative effects of the most powerful cohesive force in nature operating at inconceivably small scales. Gravitation, then, becomes the universal echo of nuclear binding, translated from the microscopic to the cosmic through the continuous self-regulating dynamics of quantized space.
Modern cosmology continues to grapple with one of its most striking paradoxes: the universe exhibits both large-scale gravitational clustering and accelerated cosmic expansion. The ΛCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) model, which dominates contemporary cosmology, accommodates these opposing tendencies by positing two largely independent components. Gravitational attraction, sourced by visible and dark matter, draws matter together to form galaxies, clusters, and cosmic filaments, while a hypothetical dark-energy term (Λ) is assumed to drive the accelerating expansion of the universe. Although ΛCDM provides an empirical fit to observational data, it does not offer a physical explanation for why the cosmos simultaneously assembles itself into ordered gravitational structures and expands at an ever-increasing rate. In its current form, the model treats structure formation and expansion as separate processes that must be reconciled by assumption rather than by mechanism.
The quantum-dialectical model introduces a different interpretative lens by proposing that these two cosmic tendencies arise not from unrelated substances or competing forces but from two complementary phases of the same spatial field. In this framework, gravitation corresponds to the dominance of spatial cohesion, where quantized units of space condense into dense configurations surrounding mass. Conversely, cosmic expansion reflects the dominance of spatial decohesion, where the spatial field tends toward dispersion, minimizing structural density and increasing the availability of unbound spatial potential. Instead of conflicting processes, cohesion and decohesion represent poles of a single dynamic continuum that operates across scales.
Under this interpretation, the accelerating expansion of the universe does not require the postulation of a mysterious “dark-energy substance” whose nature remains unknown more than two decades after its introduction into cosmology. Instead, accelerated expansion becomes a macroscopic expression of decohesion prevailing at intergalactic scales, where matter density is extremely low and cohesive interactions are minimal. Conversely, on the scales of stellar systems, galaxies, and clusters—where nuclear cohesion and gravitational extraction of space remain strong—cohesive dynamics dominate, leading to structure formation, orbital stability, and thermodynamic organization. The cosmos therefore displays layered domains defined not by different kinds of matter but by different regimes of spatial dynamics.
This conceptual shift dissolves the long-standing opposition between structure and expansion. Galactic condensation and cosmic acceleration are not antagonistic outcomes that require balancing but complementary expressions of the self-regulating behavior of quantized space. Where spatial condensation is locally sufficient, matter forms and gravitational fields strengthen; where decohesion is globally dominant, expansion accelerates. The universe thus regulates itself through a dialectical rhythm: cohesion shapes stars, planets, and galaxies, while decohesion shapes the expansion of the cosmic horizon. The large-scale architecture of the universe—its web of clustered structures suspended in vast expanses of near-empty space—emerges naturally from this unified dynamical principle.
Among all known astrophysical objects, black holes occupy a unique theoretical and ontological position. They represent the most extreme manifestation of cohesive spatial dynamics in the universe. In ordinary matter, cohesive forces—originating from nuclear interactions—condense space into the form of mass, but this condensation remains limited by atomic structures and electron degeneracy pressure. In neutron stars, cohesion intensifies to near-maximum levels as nuclei collapse into ultra-dense neutron matter. Yet even neutron stars obey a limit: beyond a critical threshold, not even nuclear degeneracy can counteract the cohesive drive. A black hole forms when nuclear cohesion saturates spatial condensation, compressing matter to the extent that space itself becomes maximally densified and gravitational extraction reaches its theoretical limit.
In such a state, spatial inflow becomes overwhelming: the extraction of surrounding space into the cohesive well accelerates to the point at which no physical process can arrest it, giving rise to what general relativity describes as an event horizon. Here, the fabric of space is so intensely drawn inward that trajectories that would ordinarily define geodesics all converge toward the singular center. Rather than being sites of infinite density in a literal mathematical sense, black holes can therefore be understood as limit structures of spatial cohesion, where the spatial field approaches maximal condensation permitted by the laws of physics. At this limit, the only counteracting influences are quantum mechanical in nature, revealing a tension between coherent and decoherent processes that persists even under extreme conditions.
The presence of Hawking radiation illustrates that black holes are not static prisons of information or immutable sinks of spacetime, but dynamic and evolving entities. The emission of radiation—arising from quantum field effects in curved spacetime—represents a resurgence of decohesive dynamics at the boundary of maximal cohesion. As the black hole emits radiation, its entropy increases, gradually weakening the cohesively sustained spatial condensation. Over immense expanses of time, this process allows the condensed spatial state of the black hole to dissolve back into free space. When interpreted through the quantum-dialectical framework, Hawking radiation signifies not evaporation as annihilation but transition as transformation.
Thus, black holes should not be viewed as terminal endpoints in cosmic evolution. They are more accurately understood as transformative nodes completing a full dialectical cycle. Uncondensed space becomes condensed through nuclear cohesion, producing mass; spatial condensation drives gravitational extraction, eventually culminating in extreme cohesive structures; and quantum decohesion gradually releases the stored cohesive energy back into space as radiation. Black holes therefore exemplify the deepest dialectical logic of the universe—cohesion reaching its limit, yielding inevitably to decohesion, and thereby sustaining the dynamic continuity of the cosmic field.
The quantum-dialectical interpretation of gravitation opens several promising directions for theoretical and experimental research, many of which extend beyond the conceptual boundaries of both general relativity and quantum field theory. If gravity is the macroscopic expression of spatial extraction driven by nuclear cohesion, then the structure of the quantum vacuum should reflect spatial gradients rather than homogeneous fluctuations. In this context, precision studies in the Casimir regime become highly relevant. Conventional analyses treat Casimir forces as arising solely from vacuum-fluctuation pressure between conducting plates. However, if space is a quantized material field whose cohesive density varies around regions of condensed matter, then Casimir-scale perturbations may reveal directional asymmetries or coherence gradients, rather than purely random fluctuations. Such results would represent a significant empirical signature of the spatial-cohesion model.
Gravitational-wave astrophysics presents another fertile ground for testing the theory. In the prevailing Einsteinian description, gravitational waves are distortions in the spacetime metric that propagate outward from dynamic mass distributions. Under the quantum-dialectical interpretation, however, these waves are additionally understood as oscillations in the spatial-cohesion field itself. If this is correct, the internal nuclear structure of the source—not merely its bulk mass-energy—should influence gravitational-wave morphology. Of particular interest are the post-merger tails of neutron-star collisions, where nuclear matter reaches extreme cohesive densities. Detailed waveform analyses may therefore uncover subtle spectral signatures linked to varying cohesive states of nuclear matter, potentially distinguishing between ordinary neutron matter, quark matter, and other exotic phases.
Further implications arise for high-energy astrophysics. The framework predicts that gravitational intensity should correlate not only with total mass but with the degree and distribution of nuclear cohesion within matter. This suggests that two astrophysical bodies of comparable mass could exhibit measurably distinct gravitational behaviors if their nuclear structures differ. Comparative studies of magnetars, low-mass neutron stars, and heavy-element-rich supernova remnants offer natural laboratories for investigating this possibility. Even marginal deviations in gravitational field profiles could provide crucial evidence in favor of the cohesive-extraction model.
The emerging field of neutron-star chemistry offers another avenue for empirical testing. Neutron stars host highly unconventional forms of matter, including nuclear pasta phases, color-superconducting quark matter, and possibly other states predicted by QCD under extreme conditions. If spatial-cohesion dynamics are sensitive to nuclear configuration, then distinct internal phases should imprint themselves on the external gravitational field, even when the stellar mass and radius remain constant. The developing discipline of gravitational-wave asteroseismology—which aims to infer stellar interior structure by analyzing oscillation modes from gravitational signals—may provide the instrumental precision necessary to evaluate this hypothesis.
Finally, the implications of the quantum-dialectical model extend beyond astrophysics into the study of emergent order in biological and cognitive systems. If spatial-cohesion gradients influence the stability of dynamical complexity, then even extremely subtle gravitational microgradients could, in principle, contribute to the stabilization of biological coherence—not as forces pushing or pulling matter, but as field effects modulating energy landscapes of self-organization. While this speculation requires careful experimental scrutiny, it aligns with growing evidence that biological regulation involves quantum-coherent processes and non-local interactions. Interdisciplinary research combining biophysics, quantum information theory, and spatial-field modeling may therefore reveal unexpected consequences of gravitational microstructure on living systems.
Taken together, these research directions illustrate that the quantum-dialectical theory of gravitation is not merely a conceptual unification of GR and QFT but a generative framework for discovering new empirical phenomena. Whether through subtle laboratory-scale coherence gradients, cosmological-scale decohesion dynamics, or the gravitational signatures of exotic nuclear matter, the theory invites a systematic re-examination of the physical world through the lens of spatial cohesion and decohesion.
The theoretical framework developed in this paper advances a reinterpretation of gravitation grounded in the cohesive and decohesive dynamics of a quantized spatial medium. By treating space not as an inert geometric background nor a mere probabilistic vacuum, but as a material field capable of internal structural transformation, the model provides a unified account of the origin of both mass and gravity. Nuclear physics identifies the strong interaction as the most cohesive force known, and Quantum Dialectics reframes this cohesion as the condensation of spatial quanta into a high-density ordered phase. In this view, the rest mass of matter emerges not as a primitive property of particles but as a state of space itself—space reorganized under maximal cohesion.
Once such condensed regions form, they alter the surrounding spatial field. The disequilibrium between highly cohesive zones and adjacent regions of low cohesion generates a continuous compensatory inflow of uncondensed space. At macroscopic scales, this mechanism manifests as gravitation. Gravity is therefore not a fundamental interaction in isolation from other forces but the emergent dynamical consequence of nuclear cohesion propagated through the spatial field. Its intensity is determined by the cumulative effect of countless microphysical cohesive events within matter, rather than by an abstract scalar mass parameter disconnected from nuclear structure.
This perspective preserves the predictive successes of general relativity and quantum field theory while resolving the ontological conflict between them. GR remains valid in regimes where cohesive spatial condensation gives rise to smooth curvature dynamics, while QFT remains valid in regimes where decohesive fluctuations dominate and manifest as quantized excitations. Instead of forcing one description to assimilate the other, the proposed model situates both as scale-dependent phases of a single underlying substrate, whose behavior is determined by the shifting balance of cohesion and decohesion across quantum layers.
The implications of this approach are both conceptual and empirical. It implies that gravitational and cosmological phenomena emerge naturally from the same cohesive principles that govern nuclear matter, eliminating the need for explanatory dualisms—such as the separation of matter from space, or the independent postulation of dark-energy substances to justify cosmic acceleration. It further suggests new research pathways across astrophysics, gravitational-wave science, quantum vacuum studies, and potentially even biological coherence.
Ultimately, the quantum-dialectical model positions gravitation not as an anomaly within quantum physics nor as an irreducible feature of geometry, but as a manifestation of the self-regulating behavior of space itself. Mass condenses space; gravity restores equilibrium; and the universe evolves through the continuous interplay of cohesive and decohesive forces. In unifying these dynamics within a single physical ontology, the model offers a pathway toward reconciling microphysics and cosmology—not by extending existing theories piecemeal, but by revealing the shared physical foundation from which they both arise.
