The Hydrodynamic Vacuum: Nuclear Forces, Effective Mass Generation, and Topological Statistics in Vacuum-Dynamics Models

This preprint extends the Hydrodynamic Quantum Gravity (HQG) programme by proposing candidate mechanisms for several remaining “closure” questions within an effective vacuum-dynamics framework. The approach treats aspects of empty-space behaviour using mathematical structures familiar from condensed-matter systems (often compared, at the level of analogy, with chiral superfluids such as those in the ³He-A universality class). Interpretation note: In this paper, “superfluid” language is used as an effective mathematical description of vacuum behaviour. The claim is not that space is a material fluid or that there exists a preferred rest frame. Rather, the point is that some aspects of the vacuum’s dynamics can…
