The Tri-Outcome Redshift Model
The Tri-Outcome Redshift Model is a cosmological upgrade proposed by Pattern Field Theory (PFT), replacing velocity-based interpretations of redshift with structurally coherent curvature dynamics of the pattern field...
The Three Redshift Mechanisms
- PPC – Pattern Phase Curvature: Redshift from field curvature.
z_PPC = Δλ / λ₀ = γκ(r) ≈ κ·r
- IPD – Inter-Pattern Drift: Redshift from phase desynchronization.
z_IPD = Δφ / φ₀
- Combined:
z_total = (1 + z_PPC)(1 + z_IPD) - 1
Historical Attribution
Zwicky predicted tired light. Hubble observed redshift but misinterpreted it. PFT completes the picture.
Redshift Comparison Table
| Concept | Classical Formula | PFT Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Redshift definition | z = (λ_obs - λ₀)/λ₀ | Same — curvature-based cause |
| Velocity redshift | z = v/c | Not used |
| Relativistic redshift | z = √[(1+v/c)/(1−v/c)] − 1 | Not applicable |
| PPC | N/A | z_PPC = κ·r |
| IPD | N/A | z_IPD = Δφ/φ₀ |
| Combined | N/A | z_total = (1 + z_PPC)(1 + z_IPD) − 1 |
Conclusion
This new model explains redshift without invoking cosmic velocity or dark energy — it is the whisper of structure expanding in recursive curvature.
