To provide a physically interpretable mechanism for the Cosmic Influx Theory, CIT introduces the concept of Primordial Elementary Whirlings (PEWs) as a microscopic carrier hypothesis. PEWs are proposed as highly dynamic, neutrino-like excitations of the universal background field that participate in the continuous transfer of energy–momentum toward matter. PEWs are not identified with neutrinos, nor does CIT claim to replace established neutrino physics. Instead, PEWs are proposed as a subset within the broad class of neutrino-like signals: weakly interacting, penetrating, and difficult to localize as classical particles. Their defining feature is not particle identity but functional role. In CIT, PEWs act as graviton-like agents in the sense that their cumulative interaction with matter produces the macroscopic phenomenon recognized as gravity. This role-based usage deliberately avoids invoking a quantum graviton or a force-exchange picture. Conceptually, PEWs are described as whirling or structured excitations rather than point particles. Their interaction with nuclei and bulk matter is assumed to be extremely weak at the level of individual events, yet persistent and cumulative over time. In this respect, gravity emerges not from discrete collisions but from continuous participation between matter and the background field. The PEW hypothesis is provisional and interpretative. It does not introduce new equations or modify existing gravitational formalisms. Its purpose is to supply a plausible microscopic narrative consistent with the Lorentz-based mass–energy transformation, observed neutrino-like phenomena, and the macroscopic influx interpretation developed in CIT. Whether PEWs correspond to a physically distinct excitation or to a reinterpretation of known vacuum phenomena remains an open question, explicitly subject to empirical testing and falsification.
