Monistic Continuum Model (MCM) – Black Holes

Volume 8 (H10–H90) of the Monistic Continuum Model (MCM) develops the complete architecture of black holes as extremely compact minimal configurations of the medium. Building on the vortex‑ and tension ontology formulated in Volume 6 and the time‑rate architecture established in Volume 7, this volume describes the mechanical principles through which a collapsed vortex core forms, a stress boundary emerges, and free time dynamics become bound or redirected. The time rate is not interpreted as a field or force, but as a structural property of the medium that defines the core minimum, gradients, curvature and Hessian structure, as well as all transition architectures. Chapters H10–H30 formulate the fundamental architecture of a single black hole: the regular vortex core, the continuous vortex‑core collapse, and the formation of a stable, finite time minimum without singularity. H40–H60 extend this framework to the horizon region and derive the mechanical stress boundary, the formation of light traps, and the accretion and jet architecture as consequences of the gradient and Hessian structure. H70 describes time dilation and the dynamical slowdown resulting from the lowered time rate. H80 provides a structural comparison between the MCM and General Relativity. H90 summarizes the scale‑coherent architecture. This volume provides the first complete and systematic formulation of black‑hole architecture in the MCM and serves as the structural foundation for core physics, horizon mechanics, light dynamics, accretion, jets, and time dilation. It shows how gradients, curvature and superposition arise from the minimal configuration of the time rate and, without additional substances or classical force concepts, determine the full macroscopic dynamics of compact objects.
