In Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), matter mass is not a constant but a frequency-dependent, energy-governed property that varies with interactions, oscillations, and energy exchanges. ECM posits that mass is dynamically shaped by the energetic and oscillatory structure of matter, leading to a concept of variable matter mass that is fundamentally different from classical physics' rigid view. This framework reinterprets kinetic energy as a manifestation of this mass redistribution, where rest mass is displaced into a dynamic component, ultimately providing new ways to understand phenomena from quantum transitions to cosmic evolution without resorting to exotic matter. [1, 2, 3]

Key Aspects of Variable Matter Mass in ECM

• Frequency and Oscillation: Matter mass (Mᴍ) in ECM is tied to its frequency and oscillatory structure, meaning it's not a rigid property but a dynamic, energy-governed characteristic that changes with interactions. [1]

• Mass Redistribution: The framework proposes that kinetic energy arises from the redistribution of rest mass into a dynamic component (ΔMᴍ) due to frequency-induced changes, such as de Broglie or Planck frequencies. [3, 4]

• Energy as Mass Realignment: ECM views energy as a realignment of different mass components within a system. A portion of the retained mass contributes to potential energy, while the displaced mass governs kinetic energy. [4]

• Bridging Scales: This variable mass concept allows ECM to bridge classical, quantum, and cosmological phenomena, offering a unified lens that explains observations like dark energy and dark matter without exotic entities. [2, 3, 5]

Implications and Applications

• Reinterpreting Phenomena: ECM provides a unified theoretical lens that can explain observed energy releases in atomic transitions, thermionic emission, nuclear fission, and fusion as frequency-driven mass redistribution. [3]

• Dark Energy and Dark Matter: The framework incorporates effects of dark energy and dark matter by defining an effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ) that includes a negative apparent mass component (−Mᵃᵖᵖ), influencing gravitational interactions on cosmic scales. [2, 6]

• Empirical Alignment: Proponents claim that empirical studies on phenomena like piezoelectric systems and rotational dynamics validate ECM's core principles, such as apparent mass displacement and energetic structuring of time. [2, 5]
