A reference of terms and concepts used throughout NUVO Theory.
A
Arc Length
The scalar-modulated spatial path length measured in coordinate space. In NUVO theory, it incorporates expansion due to the scalar field via γ(r)·r.
C
Coherence
The closure condition on scalar geometry where the arc length returns to its origin after a quantized number of cycles, typically expressed as λ² = 1/α².
G
Gamma (γ)
The Lorentz-like factor defined by scalar modulation:
Used to transform between proper and coordinate observers in NUVO scalar fields.
L
Lambda (λ)
The scalar modulation function derived from geometry and kinetic/potential energy. It determines local expansion of spacetime units.
S
Sinertia
A scalar-inertial quantity derived from rest mass flux. Sinertia flows along the gradient of scalar modulation and mediates gravitational effects in NUVO theory.
