Introduction
The search for a unified description of matter, energy, and field has long guided theoretical physics. While 20th-century breakthroughs — particularly Einstein’s general relativity — reshaped our understanding of gravity and spacetime, they left open a fundamental question:What is mass? What is charge? And what is really curving in spacetime?
In this paper, we extend the framework introduced in Unified Field Theory: A Time-Space Inertia Framework for Mass, Energy, and Interaction [
2], and apply it to the
atomic scale. We demonstrate that particles such as the proton and electron are not made of matter — they are
resonant time-space (TS) field structures, formed by confined rotations of time deformation. Their interactions — including charge, magnetism, and orbital behaviour — are not governed by forces, but by nested resonance and amplitude geometry.
We begin with the proton as a closed 3-frequency vortex stabilised by the Golden Ratio, then describe the electron as a confined dual-photon ring, and build the hydrogen atom from the harmonic coupling of these two structures. Charge and magnetism are unified as rotational expressions of TS curvature. Classical electromagnetism, electric current, and field induction are reinterpreted as events in TS tearing and rebalancing.
This paper does not rely on the concept of particles as objects or forces as causal agents. Instead, it shows that all observable phenomena emerge from confined or propagating amplitude within the rotating TS field. This approach redefines the origin of mass, charge, and atomic structure from first principles.
Section 1: Foundational Principles of the Unified Field Theory
The Unified Continuum Principle
Time, space, and electromagnetism are not separate forces or dimensions. They are different expressions of one continuous field — a dynamic medium where curvature in time generates energy, curvature in space creates inertia, and the rotation or coupling between them gives rise to electromagnetic effects.
Understanding physical phenomena requires treating time, space, and field behaviour as a single, indivisible system — a continuum governed by resonance, deformation, and closure.
The Field Structure Model: WAR
All physical phenomena in the UFT framework are described as localised time-space field structures defined by two key parameters:
= Amplitude of the time deformation (how much the local time field is bent or compressed)
= Rotational frequency of the deformation (how fast the deformation rotates or oscillates in time)
These two together define a field element:
When A is nonzero and R is stable, the system becomes confined, and mass appears. When A is small but R is high, the structure is free and propagating — like a photon. When both A and R are misaligned, the system is unstable or decaying.
This simple model underlies the formation of particles, the difference between mass and energy, and the interaction between matter and time-space itself.
TS Resonance Principle
All stable matter arises from resonance within the time-space continuum. When a disturbance in time and space deforms in a way that allows phase-locked oscillations to repeat and reinforce each other, a confined structure emerges. This confinement is what we perceive as a particle.
Frequency Determines Identity
The identity of a structure — such as a proton, electron, or photon — is determined by its internal oscillation frequency in the time field. These frequencies define how the time deformation behaves, resonates, and interacts. Identity is not a substance, but a resonant signature.
Amplitude Duality: Confinement vs. Propagation
Amplitude represents the magnitude of time deformation — the strength of the wave. But it has two distinct expressions:
When amplitude is confined within a resonance loop, it appears as mass.
When amplitude is free and propagating, it manifests as energy.
Thus mass is confined amplitude, and energy is propagating amplitude.
This duality unifies what physics separates. It also explains mass-energy equivalence naturally: all transitions between energy and matter are simply reconfigurations of amplitude between closed and open states.
Section 2: The Triple Time-Wave Vortex Model of the Proton
In the Unified Field Theory, the proton is not a solid object nor a container of particles. It is a resonance vortex — a stable, self-confined structure formed by the interference of three spiralling time-wave frequencies, rotating in harmony across time and space. These internal rotations follow geometric laws that allow amplitude to build and trap itself within a pulsating spherical envelope. This is the first emergence of mass in the universe — a closed system where time deformation curves inward through rotation and locks into a standing structure.
The Three Internal Time Frequencies
The proton is defined by three distinct internal frequencies:
Each internal frequency is stable and harmonic, but their synchronised interaction produces a rotating interference envelope — a 4D time-space vortex that pulses and spirals through phase cycles. It is this total resonance structure that creates confinement and mass. Together, they form a triply-rotating time-field vortex, creating a central confinement zone where amplitude — the strength of time deformation — constructs mass.
Golden Ratio and Spiral Closure
These three frequencies are not arbitrary. For the vortex to remain coherent and stable, their ratios must follow a natural geometric law: the Golden Ratio (ϕ ≈ 1.618…), the number that governs spiral growth, resonance, and minimal destructive interference across scales.
Each frequency spiral aligns with the others by maintaining a ϕ-scaling relationship. This scaling allows the paths to:
Intersect constructively at precise points
Build amplitude through reinforcement
Spiral into a closed resonance cavity
This vortex-like geometry is what causes the proton to appear spherical in space but actually exist as a 4D pulsing structure in TS.
Pulsing Spherical Resonance
As the three spiralling waves rotate, they sweep out a complete enclosure in all spatial directions, creating the appearance of a sphere — not by building a surface, but by constructively interfering at all angular directions over time.
This structure pulses — amplitude builds, peaks, and rebalances continuously — but never escapes. The result is a perfectly stable confinement of time deformation, sustained by internal timing. The proton is not a static shell — it is a living time vortex, resonating from within.
Confined Amplitude = Mass
At the intersection points of the three synchronised spirals, amplitude builds. This amplitude is what we experience as mass.
Mass is not a substance. It is the result of time deformation confined in a vortex. The tighter the spiral closure, the stronger the confinement — and the more energy is stored in that localised TS curvature.
Internal Interference and the Quark Illusion
In deep scattering experiments, physicists observe three distinct momentum regions inside the proton. These have historically been interpreted as “quarks.” But in the UFT framework, these regions are simply the internal interference zones of the rotating time spirals — three pockets where amplitude momentarily concentrates during the pulse cycle.
There are no internal particles — only rotating time loops. The “quarks” are mathematical shadows of resonance zones, not independent entities.
Why the Proton is Stable
The proton is stable because its three frequencies complete full cycles in phase — not just in space, but across time. The spiral paths rejoin with themselves at exact intervals, forming geometrically closed loops.
If the frequency ratios were irrational or mismatched, the interference would be destructive, and the structure would collapse. But through the use of the Golden Ratio, the system locks into a harmonic vortex, where energy remains trapped without decay.
This is why the proton does not age. It is the first timeless structure — not because time stops, but because TS bends into itself.
Section 3: Electron Resonance and the Geometry of the Hydrogen Atom
In the UFT framework, the hydrogen atom is not a collection of isolated particles but a resonant system formed by the interaction between the TS vortex of the proton and the rotational resonance of an electron. The proton defines a structured TS field around itself, which naturally generates quantized resonance zones where an electron can stably rotate. These zones are not probabilistic orbitals — they are standing TS resonance shells, anchored by the proton’s curvature.
The Projected TS Field of the Proton
The proton, as described in the previous section, is a confined structure made of three rotational time-wave frequencies forming a spherical TS vortex. This vortex does not end at its boundary. It emits a coherent TS field outward, where the structure of the field is not random but deeply geometrically organised.
The field expands in TS layers, with energy decreasing by amplitude fall-off, but phase coherence remaining intact. These layers become the quantized zones where a smaller rotational field — the electron — can resonate without collapse.
Electron as a Golden Dual-Photon Vortex
The electron is not a point charge, nor a single field pulse. In UFT, it is a confined rotational TS structure composed of two spiraling time waves — photon-like in nature — that have entered a closed loop through resonance.
Each wave carries its own frequency:
This frequency relationship allows the two TS waves to interfere constructively, forming a spiralling, closed TS ring that no longer propagates freely like a photon, but instead rotates inward, creating localised deformation.
The electron is therefore the first stable TS ring formed by dual-photon resonance —
a pair of frequencies, geometrically locked, spiralling together at ϕ ratio.
This also explains:
Its identical mass everywhere — the geometry is always the same
Its spin-½ — it completes one full resonance loop only after two phase cycles
Its ability to exist in TS orbital zones — it’s a ring structure, not a point
It carries low amplitude but stable rotation, allowing it to exist only when its resonance frequency locks into a coherent path within the proton’s projected TS field. The electron does not “orbit” in space — it rotates within a curved TS shell, much like a wave traveling inside a vortex-defined cavity.
3.3. Quantisation as TS Resonance Compatibility
What classical physics calls “quantized orbitals” are, in UFT, the discrete TS zones where the rotating structure of the electron fits perfectly into the TS curvature of the proton’s field. These zones are defined not by charge, potential wells, or force, but by TS harmonic compatibility:
Only certain distances and phases allow constructive TS resonance
These conditions follow natural scaling rules, likely including ϕ-based spiral spacing, inherited from the proton’s vortex geometry
The result is a discrete number of allowed “energy levels,” which are really resonant geometric configurations
Hydrogen as a Resonant TS Pair
The hydrogen atom is therefore a dual TS resonance:
Both are locked in mutual TS phase alignment. The hydrogen atom is not held together by “electromagnetic attraction,” but by TS field nesting — the electron is caught in the structural field of the proton’s vortex, much like a ring held in a spiral funnel of oscillation.
Because both structures are TS-rotating and phase-locked, the system is self-sustaining — with periodic field interactions producing standing wave stability rather than force-based bonding.
Ionisation and Resonant Disruption
When energy is injected into the system (via photon interaction), it does not “knock” the electron out — instead, it disrupts the TS phase matching between the two fields. If the phase misalignment becomes too great, the electron can no longer lock into a stable resonance zone, and it reverts to a propagating structure, freeing itself from the proton’s vortex.
This explains ionisation without invoking external forces — only TS resonance mismatch.
Section 4: The Origin of Charge and Magnetism in the Timespace Continuum
In classical physics, charge and magnetism are treated as distinct — with charge being a static property and magnetism a dynamic field.
In UFT, this separation no longer applies. Just as time and space cannot be separated, neither can electricity and magnetism. Both arise as expressions of the same rotating TS deformation — the shape, direction, and motion of a ringed time-structure.
The Whole Ring Defines the Field
In UFT, particles are not objects but resonant TS structures, and their geometry and motion define everything we observe as “electric” or “magnetic.”
When a TS ring curves inward, pulling deformation into itself, it appears as a negative charge (electron-like).
When it curves outward, pushing the field away, it appears as a positive charge (proton-like).
When it moves or rotates, its curvature generates a wake — a secondary TS ripple, perceived as magnetism.
So the whole ring structure — and its rotation through TS — is what gives rise to the electromagnetic field.
There is no fundamental distinction between charge and magnetism; they are simultaneous manifestations of the same dynamic.
Unified Examples in TS Geometry
An electron moving in space doesn’t “create” a magnetic field — it drags its own TS deformation, generating a rotating wake that we detect as magnetism.
Two electrons repel because their inward TS curls conflict — their TS geometries cannot overlay constructively.
An electron and a proton attract because one curls inward and the other outward — their TS curvatures nest into a stable configuration.
Magnetic field lines around a current are just visible expressions of ringed TS flow, spinning outward from coherent collective motion.
When we touch a metallic object and feel a small electric shock, we say “electricity jumped.” But in UFT, this event is not a linear charge transfer. It’s a sudden, local tearing of the TS field geometry — the inward curl of one TS structure (electron-rich region) breaks symmetry with the outward curl of another (body surface). The system resolves this mismatch by ejecting a rotating TS pulse — what we perceive as a current — but what is really an electromagnetic rupture through the TS fabric to restore resonance.
In a conducting wire, we often imagine electrons “flowing.” But this image is misleading. In UFT, what flows is rotating TS deformation. The copper lattice facilitates aligned spiralling TS motion, which creates both the electric current and its accompanying magnetic field. The current is not a stream of particles, but a coherent spiral of TS curvature rotating forward, continuously bending and restoring the local TS grid. This spiral both tears space inward (electric behaviour) and twists it outward (magnetic behaviour) simultaneously — the dual signature of TS resonance in action.
In classical physics, induction is described as a changing magnetic field producing an electric current. But in UFT, this is not the result of a “field creating another field” — it is a torsion event inside the TS fabric. When a magnetic field evolves — meaning the rotational structure of curved TS is expanding or collapsing — this motion drags and reorients the surrounding TS grid. The motion causes asymmetry in the local geometry, forcing the curvature to resolve into a new path of resonance: this resolution appears as an “induced voltage” — but in truth, it is a localised TS readjustment, spiralling to re-close itself. Induction is not field creation, but field self-reconnection within a shared TS continuum.
The TS Continuum View
In UFT, we must abandon the idea of charge and magnetism as separate entities. Instead, they are locked together, just as space and time are locked together. To observe one is to observe only a projection of the whole.
There is no such thing as a static charge — only a curled TS ring, which always possesses the potential to rotate, shift, and express both electric and magnetic behaviour.
What we call fields are not exterior forces — they are the living geometry of internal TS resonance.
"What we call“electricity” is not a force. It is the visible edge of a TS vortex, slicing across the local geometry to restore balance.”
Final Note: Einstein Saw the Curvature — UFT Reveals the Structure
Albert Einstein [
1] showed us that gravity is not a force but a
curvature of spacetime. What he discovered was real: massive objects bend the geometry around them. But he never asked what is curving, and why.
In the Unified Field Theory, we now understand that Einstein was observing the surface behaviour of a deeper reality. What curves is not an abstract “spacetime,” but the resonant tension of the unified time-space (TS) field. And what we call matter, energy, and charge are stable waveforms inside that curved field.
Einstein saw real curvature. UFT shows that this curvature arises from rotating TS deformation — vortexes of time itself. Where Einstein stopped at geometry, UFT begins with structure. Where general relativity explained mass by its effect, UFT explains mass by its cause.
The geometry is real. But now we understand what is rotating inside it — and how resonance gives birth to everything.
Conclusion and Outlook
In this first atomic-level presentation of the Unified Field Theory (UFT), we have shown that matter, energy, charge, and magnetism are not separate entities — they are expressions of curved and rotating structures in the unified time-space (TS) continuum.
The proton was revealed to be the first stable TS resonance: a closed, triply rotating vortex stabilised by internal geometric alignment, likely governed by the Golden Ratio. Its structure is not made of smaller parts, but of time-field frequencies woven into a spherical resonance — producing confined amplitude, which we perceive as mass.
The electron was reinterpreted as a dual-photon TS ring, stabilised by a ϕ-locked frequency pair. It is not a charge carrier, but a self-contained rotational TS loop, locked into the resonance zones projected by the proton’s field.
Together, they form the hydrogen atom — not through force, but through resonance nesting between the proton’s outward TS field and the electron’s inward spiral.
Charge and magnetism were shown to be inseparable — like space and time — and emerge directly from the directional curvature and motion of TS resonance systems. Examples like electric shocks, current flow, and electromagnetic induction were revealed as events in which the TS fabric tears, rebalances, or reconnects — not because forces push, but because geometry corrects itself.
Next Steps: On the Edge of Resonance Collapse
This paper has not discussed the so-called neutron, but the UFT model naturally leads to a deeper question:
What happens when a proton’s amplitude increases, or its vortex becomes unstable?
In a future work, we will explore:
How amplitude overflow can produce field breakdowns or decay,
Why isotopes are just proton-vortex systems with excess deformation,
And how so-called “neutrons” may not be particles at all — but temporary field states, misinterpreted by conventional physics.
For now, we end here — at the edge of confinement — where resonance becomes unstable, and matter begins to decay.
What lies beyond is not a different force, but a new rhythm in the TS field — waiting to be revealed.
