FM as a Physical Medium

​

A single starting point

The Field Medium Model begins with a very simple physical idea:

Space is not empty.

It is a continuous physical field — quiet, present everywhere —
capable of organizing motion and sustaining structure.

This field is called FM.

​

What FM is — and what it is not

FM is not matter.
It is not energy.
It is not a substance that objects move through.

FM is the physical background in which everything exists.

Its local state can change, organize, and stabilize —
but the medium itself is always there.

Everything that exists does so as a state of this medium.

​

What “physical medium” means in FM

Calling FM a physical medium does not mean that objects travel through it
the way a solid moves through air or water.

Nothing is being pushed aside.
Nothing has to “make room”.

​

Instead, it means this:

• The medium has local physical properties

• It can support waves and resonant motion

• It can form stable, localized structures

• It responds to change, but does not lose energy under stable conditions

​

In FM, nothing is transported through space.

What exists are organized states of the medium itself.

​

Structure, not substance

In FM, physical objects are not foreign bodies embedded in space.

​

They are:

• stable organizations of the field

• persistent patterns of circulating motion

​

An atom, a particle, or a macroscopic object is therefore not made of space —
it is a structured state of the medium.

This distinction matters.

There is no need to imagine material components being pushed through FM.
The medium does not flow around objects.

Objects exist wherever the field is organized in a stable way.

​

Propagation replaces transport

Motion in FM is not the transport of substance.

It is the propagation of structure.

​

When something changes position:

• the organized pattern ceases to exist locally behind

• and becomes realized locally ahead

​

This happens continuously and coherently.

The medium itself does not move.
Only its local organization changes.

This is why stable motion can occur without resistance.

​

Why FM does not cause drag

A physical medium is often associated with friction or resistance.

FM does not behave that way.

​

The reason is that FM operates in a superfluid-like regime:

• no viscosity

• no dissipative drag

• no energy loss during stable propagation

​

Resistance appears only when structure must be reorganized — for example during:

• acceleration

• rotation

• deformation

• heating

​

Stable motion itself requires no ongoing energy input.

​

FM as a common foundation

By treating space as a physical medium, FM provides a single physical basis for:

• motion and inertia

• gravity

• waves and resonance

• electromagnetic phenomena

• mass and structure formation

​

These are not separate mechanisms added on top of empty space.

They are different expressions of how the same medium organizes and propagates structure.

​

What FM does not assume

​

FM does not assume:

• an empty vacuum

• spacetime as a physical substance

• preferred reference frames

• material particles moving through space

​

It does not change experimental results.

It changes only what those results are understood to describe physically.

​

Summary

FM treats space as a physical medium whose organized states constitute all physical objects.

Nothing moves through space.
Structures propagate within a medium.

This single shift in perspective removes the need for drag,
explains stable motion,
and prepares the ground for understanding inertia, gravity,
and the universal speed limit.
