Putting equations under the fluid-wave hypothesis
The fluid-wave hypothesis proposes that a toroidal wave, evolving over time in a fluid-like medium, may pass through a phase transition that changes how it behaves. Until this session it was described in words. The new Fluid-Wave Universe page writes down the mathematics it would have to use.
Some of that mathematics is standard and well tested: conservation laws for a fluid, a Landau order parameter for phase transitions, and the wave equations used for plasma. Some of it is not: no equation yet connects the Riemann zeros to a plasma or to a universal medium. The page labels each assumption so the two cannot be confused.
What would move this forward is a specific, testable prediction — a quantity the hypothesis gives that conventional models do not. That prediction does not exist yet, and the page says so.
