The Universe as Cosmic Plumbing: A Geometric Picture from Charge Polarity and Alpha Void Tears Paper 1

This preprint presents a minimal, speculative geometric ontology of the universe based on a single primitive: charge polarity (the fundamental asymmetry between positive and negative potentials).At its core is the concept of Alpha Void Tears — elliptical rips in the delicate, permeable fabric of space. Virtual particle-antiparticle pairs intersect these tears and, instead of annihilating, begin spinning around the elliptical geometry. This spinning configuration prevents the tear from closing, transforms the virtual dipoles into a timeless real photon, and gives rise to the speed of light as the spin frequency. The resulting dynamic — vacuum pressure driving equalization while the spinning dipoles hold the tear open — is proposed as the origin of: spacetime and the arrow of time photons and all matter (electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms) gravity (as spacetime drainage through stabilized tears) electromagnetism (as charge separation plus back-EMF) the strong and weak forces (as different regimes of tear stability and rebalancing) dark energy (as ongoing foam-driven separations) and the cyclical recycling of the cosmos. The framework treats the universe as a self-regulating "cosmic plumbing" system: a network of one-way drains where matter acts like temporary sink plugs that store potential before eventual re-equalization. Everything emerges relationally from the tension between opening (charge-driven) and closing (vacuum-pressure-driven) processes.This mechanical picture grew from a decades-old intuition about entangled pairs being two ends of the same rip in the fabric. It offers a clean, unified geometric starting point rather than incremental patches on existing theories. The model is deliberately minimal and makes several qualitative predictions open to future scrutiny.
