My main interest right now, is what do you think the significance of this observation means, that "velocity" is such a pervasive theme in its ability to provide description for nature? I think it is very meaningful.
I would like to make a subtle point, that I believe helps to get at the heart of this question. Ok, so we take an arbitrary measure of length "meter" and an arbitrary measure of time "second". Then we ask, how many meters does light traverse in a second? A: 299,000,000 m/s. But 299,000,000 is just a number, and we would have derived a different number if we had picked different arbitrary units of length and duration. And I say this merely to emphasize what is truly interesting about this arbitrary value, that it successfully serves as a proportion for deriving the value of mass, when multiplied.
Why is the value of mass, proportional to value of velocity? And this is true whether considering kgs, or your approach which discards unit of kgs.
A conventionalist might say something along the lines of, energy always being conserved no matter what the conversions. And that energy isn't something physically real, it's just a bookkeeping system. But that approach leads nowhere, a conceptual dead end.
So I put forward for consideration in its place, that mass conforms to proportionality with a multiple of velocity C, because Gluons, the primary generators of mass are Gauge Bosons just like light is a Gauge Boson. That the function of mass is based on the same principle as lights propagation through space, which is its ability to drive forward forcefully at velocity C. In this regard, the terms of "energy, and or work" are equivalent and entirely substitutable to units of Velocity C. That mass is simply an expression of Gauge Boson velocity, a velocity harnessed internally of matter to perform work. Mass is light that is bridled within structure of matter.
Have you spent time considering the notion, that wherever we point to an action being undertaken in the world, we are pointing to a Gauge Boson, without exception? This would be a tidy reason why all universal actions conform to the values of velocity C. The interactions demonstrated by the material universe, are entirely considerations of Gauge Bosons acting within various structures, mass, bonds, heat, photons etc. Simple!
The success of your approach would then be because, you have modeled what nature is actually doing!
If the actions of Gauge Bosons are to be categorized as "work", then from where does this work derive its impetuous, that satisfies basic considerations of energy conservation? Do you agree that matters observed interactions with space, provides an interesting prospect to answering this question? You state, the blue shifting of light that occurs while moving towards a lower gravitational potential, is due to a slowed variable velocity C. Do you see how conceptually, this might correspond to the notion that gravitational fields are variable values of space field energy density, energy which light and matter are in the business of metabolizing, and converting to acts of work? That matter places a local load on the field of space, which corresponds to a lesser potential for Gauge Boson work, and therefore slowing of light?
I am not asking if you agree this is happening. Just whether or not it conceptually fits your model? Thanks James
