| Topic | Myth / Traditional View | Transport View |
|---|---|---|
| Ontology | Objects, forces, and fields exist independently | Only motion exists; all quantities describe transported motion |
| Inertia | A property of mass resisting force | Persistence of motion under transport |
| Forces | Physical causes that change motion | Bookkeeping terms from evolving frames |
| Gravity | Attractive force or spacetime curvature | Persistent curvature from nested transport |
| Frames | Passive coordinate choices | Evolving transport histories |
| Energy | Stored substance (potential + kinetic) | Motion measured in a chosen frame |
| Mass | Amount of matter | Resistance to frame-imposed curvature |
| $E=mc$ | Mass–energy equivalence with conversion | Constrained motion measured against the unbound limit |
| $F=ma$ | Force causes acceleration | Frame curvature accounting identity |
| Light | Massless particle or wave | Unconstrained motion (transport limit) |
| π | Geometric circle constant | Phase residue from transport non-closure |
| π² | Mathematical coincidence | Phase-space area invariant |
| Buffon’s Needle | Probability puzzle | Orientation phase averaging experiment |
| Basel Problem | Euler’s clever trick | Discrete mode-density summation |
| Gaussian Integral | Probability normalization | Continuous phase-volume conservation |
| Parseval’s Theorem | Fourier identity | Conservation of motion across representations |
| Orbits | Balanced force trajectories | Curved transport under non-closure |
| Escape Velocity | Overcoming gravitational pull | Completion of transport (motion stops turning) |
Reading tip: If the transport view explains all rows with fewer assumptions,
the myth view is redundant.
