Technical Notes
This website presents a conceptual model.
The documents below are independent mathematical explorations inspired by the ideas
described here. They are not part of the main theory and do not represent a validated
physical model. Their purpose is to show how the conceptual framework could be formalised
mathematically.
1. Membrane Curvature Model — First Mathematical Formulation v1.1
A concise 5‑page technical note that translates the gravity-first DMET concept into a testable
weak-field model. It develops:
- a nonlinear curvature equation sourced by observed baryonic matter
- flat galaxy rotation curves and the baryonic Tully–Fisher relation
- a provisional link between the galactic acceleration scale and the larger geometric/tensional sector
- the distinction between established AQUAL mathematics and the specifically DMET interpretation
- a separate boundary-optics section explaining why lensing and cross-region redshift are distinct effects
- the relativistic frequency relation required for any proposed boundary-origin JWST source
- clear empirical tests and limits of the short formulation
This document is the simplest mathematical entry point to the theory. It does not claim that the
displayed equation has yet been derived from a complete membrane action.

2. Membrane Curvature Theory — Candidate Mathematical Framework v0.3
A revised 11‑page framework that carries the same gravity-first logic into relativistic and
cosmological tests. It includes:
- the weak-field galaxy model and its relativistic requirements
- five-dimensional / brane-inspired geometric equations as a candidate framework
- gravitational lensing from the same geometry used for galaxy dynamics
- tidal curvature, geodesic deviation, and the distinction between uniform pull and expansion
- the Raychaudhuri equation and the need for an effective stress/curvature contribution capable of acceleration
- directional expansion and observational constraints
- boundary optics and an explicit cross-region redshift calculation based on the photon path, emitter, boundary and observer
- spectral, time-dilation, flux and photon-transfer requirements for the neighbouring-region/JWST extension
- explicit failure criteria separating the core model from the speculative boundary hypothesis
This document is not a completed theory of gravity. It is a candidate mathematical research programme
designed to expose the assumptions DMET must eventually derive, calculate, and test.

Status
These documents are exploratory mathematical realisations of the conceptual idea. They should not
be interpreted as established physics. The present development goal is narrower: derive a curvature
law that predicts galaxy dynamics and lensing from baryonic matter, then test whether a consistent
relativistic extension can also describe structure growth and cosmic expansion.
Priority order: (1) galaxy rotation from visible mass, (2) gravitational lensing from
the same geometry, (3) cluster and early-universe tests, (4) expansion history, and only then
(5) the speculative boundary-optics/JWST extension.
Boundary-redshift note: the current v1.1 and v0.3 PDFs already contain the essential
cross-region redshift formalism. Version 1.2 of the website makes that existing requirement more
prominent; the PDFs have therefore not been replaced merely to duplicate the same equations.
