📘 Motion Theory: Ontological Glossary

Essence

The foundational unit of reality. Timeless, massless, and spaceless, the essence is defined purely by its uninterrupted motion. All form, space, and time emerge from interactions and deviations within this motion.

Absolute Motion

The default state of every essence. Pure linear flow without resistance, deviation, or form. It is the metaphysical ground of being, from which everything else originates.

Form

A temporary curvature or slowing of essence's absolute motion. What we call "form" is merely the visible consequence of internal deviation — not a fundamental entity.

Φ_μ (Motion Vector)

Represents the directional motion of an essence. Expressed mathematically as \( \Phi_{\mu} = \frac{d x^\mu}{d\tau} \), it is the first-order expression of movement.

Φ_μν (Deviation Tensor)

Captures the curvature or deviation in motion, indicating where form begins to emerge. If \( \Phi_{\mu\nu} \neq 0 \), form exists. If zero, motion remains pure.

Entropy

The tendency of form to dissolve back into pure motion. It is not decay, but the natural dissolution of deviation. Entropy is the memory of motion pulling everything back into origin.

Time

A derivative of movement. Time emerges from the integral of motion over the intrinsic parameter \( \tau \), not as an independent dimension but as a record of flow.

Observation

In Motion Theory, observation is interaction. To observe is to interfere with essence. Measurement collapses the moment and transforms the motion it seeks to understand.

Consciousness

Not an emergent property of form, but the recognition of motion by itself. Consciousness is the echo of the essence perceiving its own curvature.
