Abstract
The inability to have 3 fully independent degrees of freedom in either S² and SO(3) necessitates the scalar field. The constraints — scale-invariance, a 'double cover' feature, and a 𝑘 ∼ 0 long-range mode — naturally introduce a Φ (Golden Ratio) stack of discrete scalar (Goldstone) modes.
What This Video Shows:
- Visualizes the interplay between S² topology and SO(3) dynamics.
- Demonstrates how Goldstone modes as twisting "belts" resolve dimensional constraints.
Relevance to Physics:
- The function of the scalar field is to physically reconcile SO(3) as a rotational formalism, with classical space.
- Connects topological constraints to symmetry breaking, spin, and the dimension of action.
- This framework hints at Lorentz invariance as an effective symmetry, emerging naturally from the scalar field's surface dynamics on S² and their intrinsic coupling to SO(3) rotational structure. The doubling in modulation and gauge dynamics suggests a topological origin for relativistic invariance.
