Apeiron: Foundations of a Universal Carrier ApproachAn Effective Field Theory and Its Research Programme
Apeiron explores the idea of a universal fundamental carrier — as a common origin of space, matter and cosmic dynamics.
From a fundamental idea
to a concrete effective theory.
The bigger picture
Start with the illustrations.
Follow the connections.
The guiding picture: possible state changes of one shared fundamental carrier.
A fundamental carrier as a starting point for many forms of manifestation.
How a fundamental assumption becomes a concrete research programme.
The illustrated introduction in your language.
The illustrations convey the idea. They do not show observational data.
The scientific foundation
Understand the central idea.
Explore the technical work.
The carrier hypothesis, a local three-field theory and the research programme, including its results and open connections to physics.
Open foundations paper · EN · PDFP01 examines what a single dispersion branch determines in a two-field theory, and how calibration and data uncertainty limit reconstruction.
Open P01 paper · EN · PDFResearch status: published preprints without external peer review. The carrier and cycle pictures remain hypotheses; the effective theories apply under their stated assumptions.

Central idea & research programme
The central hypothesis: different physical phenomena could be states and dynamics of the same fundamental carrier.
Express the central idea in a precise theoretical language.
Use a concrete effective theory to investigate defined relationships.
Clarify the scope, predictions and open connections to observable physics.
Foundations
Published on 25 September 2026
The foundations paper formulates the hypothesis of a universal fundamental carrier and develops a local three-field scalar sector as an effective field theory. It includes a specified action, field equations, a stress tensor and conditional results for the local causal structure. In the admissible domain, the null energy condition together with minimal Einstein coupling and spatially flat homogeneous geometry excludes a nonsingular bounce. Deriving observed structures from the carrier remains open; no empirical confirmation is claimed.
P01 · Research paper
Published on 25 September 2026
The separate P01 paper examines parameter reconstruction in a quadratic two-field theory from one dispersion branch. It covers an exact inverse and its exceptional family, error bounds, a classical matching example and a reproducible audit of published plasmon-polariton data. Unknown momentum calibration and missing uncertainty information limit inference. The paper claims neither statistical significance for the pilot comparison nor an independently certified measurement of the unobserved upper gap.
