To incorporate spacetime resonance into gravity, we extend Einstein's field equations by introducing a boundary curvature term \(\kappa \mathcal{R}_{\text{boundary}}\): Â
\[G_{\mu\nu} + \kappa \mathcal{R}_{\text{boundary}} = 8\pi G T_{\mu\nu},\] Â
where: Â
- \(\mathcal{R}_{\text{boundary}}\) encodes the eigenmode energy density from spacetime's compact topology. Â
- \(\kappa\) is a coupling constant with units of \([L]^{-2}\), set by the resonant scale (e.g., \(\kappa \sim 1/R_H^2\), where \(R_H\) is the Hubble radius). Â
Physical Interpretation
- The term \(\mathcal{R}_{\text{boundary}}\) acts as a nonlocal constraint, enforcing standing-wave solutions in the metric \(g_{\mu\nu}\). Â
- Analogous to Dirichlet boundary conditions in a vibrating membrane, but applied covariantly to 4D spacetime. Â
Energy Conditions and StabilityÂ
1. Weak Energy Condition: \(T_{\mu\nu} u^\mu u^\nu \geq 0\) holds if \(\mathcal{R}_{\text{boundary}} \leq 0\) (anti-nodes correspond to positive energy). Â
2. Stability Analysis: Linear perturbations \(\delta g_{\mu\nu}\) yield a modified wave equation: Â
