FORTH Theory Overview: Theoretical Framework of Four-dimensional Orthogonal Rotating Torus Hypothesis

1. Introduction

Theory Position

FORTH (Four-dimensional Orthogonal Rotating Torus Hypothesis) theory is a theoretical framework describing physical phenomena around black holes using a 4D torus structure that includes a spatial fourth dimension (W-axis).

Key Assumptions

1. Existence of spatial fourth dimension: W-axis orthogonal to 3D space (x, y, z)
2. Torus geometry: 4D torus structure around black holes
3. Energy conservation: Energy conservation in entire 4D space

2. Mathematical Formulation

2.1 Basic Equations

4D Torus Equation

(√(x² + y²) - R)² + z² + w² = r²

Where:

• R: Major radius
• r: Minor radius (tube radius)
• (x, y, z): 3D coordinates
• w: W-axis coordinate

Metric Tensor

ds² = -c²dt² + f(r)dx² + f(r)dy² + f(r)dz² + h(w)dw²

f(r) = 1 - Rs/r_3D (Schwarzschild-like)
h(w) = Term from torus geometry

2.2 Derived Relations

Jet Velocity Formula

v_jet/c = √(1 - (r/R)²)

This formula is derived purely from geometric constraints.

W-Axis Disappearance Time

Δt = 2πr/c

Time for matter to disappear from 3D space while transiting the W-axis.

Energy Conversion Efficiency

η = (E_out/E_in) = f(R/r, γ)

Where γ is the Lorentz factor.

3. Physical Interpretation

3.1 Physical Meaning of W-Axis

The W-axis plays the following roles:

1. Energy storage: Temporary storage of accretion energy
2. Conversion medium: Gravitational energy → Kinetic energy
3. Direction determination: Geometric collimation of jets

3.2 Energy Conversion Process

Accretion → W-axis transit → Jet emission
E_grav → E_W → E_kinetic

Efficiency: Maximum 40% (twice conventional theories)

3.3 Correspondence with Observed Phenomena

2. Polarization observation: Polarization mapping by ALMA/EHT

Verifiable with Long-term Observations

3. Periodic disappearance: Continuous monitoring in X-ray/radio
4. Energy balance: Comprehensive analysis through multi-wavelength observations

4.3 Decisive Verification

Direct observation of W-axis disappearance phenomenon would be decisive verification of the theory:

• Predicted period: 4.66 days (M87, r=1Rs)
• Required observation period: Minimum 14 days (3 cycles)
• Suitable instruments: ALMA, X-ray satellites

• Specific polarization pattern variations
• Correlation between R/r ratio and jet velocity

6.3 Required Observations

1. High time resolution observation: < 1 hour
2. Long-term continuous observation: > 2 weeks
3. Multi-wavelength simultaneous observation: Radio to X-ray

7. Theory Implications and Prospects

7.1 Implications for Physics

• Redefinition of time: Time as emergent phenomenon
• Understanding dimensions: Direct evidence of hidden spatial dimensions
• Hints for unified theory: 4D unification of gravity and other forces

7.2 Potential Technical Applications

Potential applications if theory is established:

• High-efficiency energy conversion
• New propulsion principles
• 4D information processing

7.3 Future Research Directions

1. Detailed numerical simulations: Complete 4D MHD calculations
2. Observation campaigns: Coordinated multi-wavelength observations
3. Theory refinement: Incorporation of quantum effects

8. Conclusion

FORTH theory has the following characteristics:

Strengths:

• Clear and verifiable quantitative predictions
• Good agreement with observational facts
• Theoretical simplicity and beauty

Challenges:

• Need for direct proof of W-axis
• Integration with quantum theory
• More detailed observational verification
