Preece, Andrei & Batenin, Boris: The Ontological Structure of the S³ Manifold

This work presents a philosophical and mathematical research highlight on the ontological structure of space understood as a compact, simply connected, boundaryless three-dimensional manifold: M ≃ S³. Instead of treating space as a local product of physical emergence, the treatise argues that the manifold should be regarded as a persistent global structure, while cosmological evolution describes changing states on it: g(t), Φ(t), ρ(t), C(t). The central distinction is therefore simple but decisi
