The Shape of the Cosmos: A Tripartite Electrodynamic Architecture of the Info Magneto Electrostatic (IME) Cosmos

Dr Satinder Singh Malik, Independent Researcher in Foundations of Physics and Philosophy of Science

Abstract

This treatise presents a unified, multi-disciplinary re-evaluation of the global architecture of the cosmos, synthesising the ontological framework of the Upanishadic triad of Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) with a hydrodynamic and electrodynamic model of celestial mechanics. The central thesis is that the cosmos is a finite, three-layered, nested structure. The outermost layer is an energetically spherical boundary woven from an information matrix of space-filling rhombic dodecahedral cells (the Sattvic grid). Enclosed within it is a toroidal magnetic drive system (the Rajasic torus) whose major-to-minor radius proportion embodies the golden ratio phi while its circulatory geometry embodies pi, jointly expressing the harmonic design constants observed throughout cosmic structure. Innermost lies a flat, hollow equatorial disc (the Tamasic Cosmic Chakra) upon which all visible baryonic matter floats, held in its plane by the pinch effect of the confining magnetic flux. Space is modelled as a compressible celestial plenum of variable permittivity; gravity is reinterpreted as an adhesive plenum pressure gradient governed by a kinematic Plenum Influence Parameter, and mass is treated as bipartite (an inert Mahatva and an interactive Gurutva). The model derives the Chakra Confinement Equation that balances plenum expansion pressure against magnetic confinement pressure, a convergent volumetric series that yields a finite cosmos from an infinitely resolved interior, and a variable speed of light that explains cosmological redshift as refractive deceleration rather than metric expansion. The absolute cosmic boundary is derived from first principles using the Nested Pressure Model, which empirically calibrates the inverse-square decay of plenum pressure across the planetary, stellar, and galactic vortex tiers and then releases the uncontained central cosmic vortex from artificial compression. This yields a Vortex Horizon of approximately 22.8 billion light-years for the full mass-energy anchor, partitioned by an area-proportional law into a stratified radial disc: a dense visible cosmos extending to about 5.1 Gly, a bipartite or dark-matter halo from 5.1 to 12.1 Gly, and a pure fluid plenum extending to the outer mirror boundary at 22.8 Gly. The framework is consistent with the Planck 2018 preference for a closed universe, the Hubble tension, large-scale bulk flows, and the recently confirmed rotation of cosmic filaments. It yields explicit, falsifiable predictions and is offered as a rigorous philosophical scaffold for future observational programmes.
