You are in a large black void, in the center is an old fashioned film movie projector. The only other object in this room is a screen. There is no dust, haze, atmosphere or annoying people with phones not set to silent. You turn the projector on, but you cant see anything, no light, no movie. but you know it's on. Then you realise the kid on his first day at the job forgot to roll the screen down. He realises & fixes it. Thats better, now you can see it.
The take away is that it doesnt matter what is projected, nothing can be seen if there isn't a screen for light to hit
For a long time SP was watching the movie, filled with light & pixels & colours. SP was moved to describe it as best they could, fantastic calculations of almost every aspect, but they neglected the structure that makes any of it possible. What SP missed is how the movie is able to be seen in the first place, the framework of the theatre. The Philter is that answer. It's the very Phibres of the screen, the reason it all comes together to tell the story of reality & matter.
(AKA Hadronic & Gluon strong force field/structure in SP)
The Philter is the structural answer to so many of SP's questions & unresolved elements. But we'll show that later. Let me first show & describe the structure so that you can see & find the answers for yourself. When you see it like me, the answers begin to fall out like drunken monkeys in a tree.
The Philter is created from a tensegrity of 12 non-scalar 2P Philter Phibres each of 1 Phurlon between vertices & are the structures that hold the Phenomenon together as well as provide the tension to create Phress that manifests as Matter (Phenom or vertices). It forms a square bipyramid screen of 8 Face Phlats (Phaces) which in SP are possibly seen as Gluons as well as many other hadronic structures, protons & neutrons, & even the strong force in SP as you'll see in the next section. Its ternary & superposition states are what contribute toward the SP Particle Zoo.
The 8 external face planes (Phaces) of the Phenomenon are knowable but not visible to us & provide the framework & stability for the Phield's 3 internal Phrames for a total of 11 Phlats (Phlats are seen as dimensions in SP & may account for the missing 8 from our known 3 that have been sought for M-theory. More on that later).
This framework of Phibres can also be referred to as a Screen or mesh (hence the ⌗ notation).
For the 3 internal Phield Phibres projected from the Phen to be seen, they need to collide with a screen (Philter), otherwise the projections would continue on for eternity leaving nothing to be observed.
The Philter forms the boundaries / screen / mesh of our 3 Phrame existence (Phield) that enables us to observe Phenomena. The 8 Phaces that surround us are knowable but not visible, they are just our projection's viewing screen. Not visible until light (Photons) collide with it. Think of it as not just the invisible screen & missing dimensions but also as a kind of sphere of reference that surrounds the observer & scales up as it stacks into the Phenomena.
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is SP's theory of the strong force & one of its most successful. It maps with extraordinary precision how quarks are bound together & why they can never be found alone. It even reached for colour as a label because something about the three-way combination behaviour felt colour-like to the physicists who named it. They weren't wrong to do that. They just didn't know why yet.
What QCD cannot tell you is why any of this is the way it is. Why exactly three colour charges? Why must they always combine to neutral? Why does confinement happen at all, why can't you just pull a quark out? QCD describes these as rules. PT describes them as geometry. The Philter is simply the PTM structure that shows any other outcome is impossible.
Because every Phace is a triangle & a triangle has no other way of being. Each of the Philter's 8 Phaces is formed by exactly 3 Phenom bound by 3 Philter Phibres. There is no 2 Phenom Phace, no 4 Phenom Phace. Three is what closed tension geometry produces. What PT actually has is 6 Phenom in 3 polarity pairs, B+/B-, G+/G-, R+/R-. But observed without seeing the polarity pairs, the 6 collapse to what looks like 3 colour charges with a flipping sign. SP found BGR, correctly identified the three & even correctly identified the charge flipping, but missed that they were looking at 6 distinct Phenom producing all 8 Phaces. When the Phenomena reveals its true ternary nature, the mystery dissolves & three becomes an inevitability.
Because the Philter is a closed tensegrity. Every Phibre connects to every other across all three axes. A structure that didn't balance to neutral couldn't hold its own shape. Neutrality isn't a rule imposed from outside, it's what structural integrity looks like from the inside.
Because there are no quarks, only intersection points in a tension mesh. You can't remove a knot from a net by pulling it. The harder you pull, the tighter the knot gets & the more the surrounding structure resists. If you pull hard enough you don't free anything, you just create a bigger knot somewhere else. SP calls that confinement.
In trying to reduce this confusion I allocated colours to the polarity pairs to make them easier to see. B+ became Cyan, B- stayed Blue, G+ stayed Green, G- became Yellow, R+ became Magenta, R- stayed Red. Then something completely unexpected happened. I had accidentally created a 3D colour wheel that contained every primary colour triangle currently used in arts & science. RGB in digital, CMY in printing, BYR in traditional painting. It also revealed how additive & subtractive colour spaces worked & suggested a potential fourth. The Phen became the chrome at the centre, reflecting & absorbing. My mind was blown.
Simply trying to label the Phenomenon I had accidentally created a Universal Colour Theory. That work was spun off onto its own site ( UniversalColourTheory.com ). I began to realise that perhaps the labelling wasn't arbitrary & might relate to deeper structures like wavelengths & the visible spectrum, that there was something more intrinsic going on. That research led to a second spin off, Spectrum Degrees, a new way to map the visible spectrum ( SpectrumDegrees.com ).
At that point I realised it was my background in arts, design & photography that helped me understand the structure of light & the structure of the PTM. That it was all light in various forms & that PT was becoming part of a new Photonics era.
(AKA Strong Force)
In SP Forces are seen as some kind of mysterious power of unknown origin but in PT the singular Phorce is different & not mysterious, it originates as a structural function of the Phenomenon's Philter thus needing different terminology.
In PT gravity & mass & magnetism, weak force, strong force etc, are not forces in themselves, but are just seen as resultant effects of the Philter.
In Phen Theory, the Philter Phorce emerges from Philter Phibres binding Phenom into Phaces, while the Philter defines the spatial logic of their interaction.
The Philter Phorce in Phen Theory is the only Phorce in the Phenomena. All other SP regular forces are shown to be effects or functions of the Phield & Philter in PT.
The Philter is not a force carrier in the traditional sense, it’s the logic system that maps & maintains Phibre tension. It defines where & how the Philter Phorce (AKA strong force) applies, like a force field built from patterns.
Phaces are stable 3-Phenom triangular structures formed on the surface of the Phenomenon's Square Bipyramid. Phaces are seen as many 3 part structures in SP - Gluons, Hadrons, Mesons, Protons, Neutrons etc. etc. depending on 2 things - what Phace they are looking at & what combination of it's components ternary states are in
There are two key Polar Phace variants:
△⁺ ProPhace B⁺, G⁺, R⁺ an outward-facing, energy-projecting structure. Functions like a proton
△⁻ NegPhace B⁻, G⁻, R⁻ an inward-facing, stabilising structure. Functions like a neutron
These Phaces are the PT equivalents of hadrons, not by particle type but by structural role as bound triplets of fundamental units with distinct charges & orientation.
Phaces are not just structural, they are the active surfaces of the Philter Phorce. They channel & anchor the Tension Phibres of the Philter, allowing stress to stabilise between Phenom.
△⁺ & △⁻ ProPhace & Neg Phace serve as poles
△⭣ & △⭡ DuskPhace & DawnPhace act as hinges
△⮃ The BlendPhaces weave the rest of the Philter
Together, they generate & maintain the Philter’s integrity.
External vectors outer to outer, do not pass through E. These define the outer Philter Phibre System. Each Phenom is connected to its neighbours by Philter Phibres. These phibres are:
Directional, connective bands that bind two Phenom within a triangle face (Phace)
Stretchable, resisting separation just like gluons in quantum chromodynamics
Charge-aware, aligning by Phenom ternary polarity (positive, neutral, negative)
1 Phurlon in length
The more you try to pull Phenom apart, the more resistance you encounter , mimicking quark confinement. These phibres aren’t just structural, they are the medium of the SP strong interaction itself. The "applicators" of Phress, the generators of mass

(speculation akin to the Gluons in SP)
These eight Phaces of the Philter are each formed by a unique trio of Phenom bound by 3 Philter Phibres (⤚⤙) that all interlock to distribute surface structure tension throughout the Philters overall mesh & producing the Philter Phorce.
The Philter Bipyramid structure contains 3 sets of two mirrored phyramids depending on its rotation:
Top Phyramid (Up / Positive) & Bottom Phyramid (Down / Negative)
Each phyramid holds four Philter Phaces with a variety of roles:
One polar Phace (Pro or Neg), One PhlipPhace (Dusk or Dawn) & Two BlendPhaces
Notation in second set in brackets is for those wishing to use colour theory notation
“Light / Positive” - 4 Phaces △
(B+, G+, R+) / (C, G, M) - The ProPhace △⁺ (Pure Positive +++, speculation the Proton in SP)
(B-, G+, R-) / (B, G, R) - △⭣ DuskPhace (Flips: −+−)
(R+, G+, B-) / (M, G, B) - △± BUMesPhace (Vivid Blend ++−)
(R-, G+, B+) / (R, G, C) - △± FUMesPhace (Vivid Blend −++)
“Dark / Negative” - 4 Phaces △
(B-, G-, R-) / (B, Y, R) - The NegPhace △⁻ (Pure Negative −−−, speculation the Neutron in SP)
(B+, G-, R+) / (C, Y, M) - △⭡ DawnPhace (flips: +−+)
(R-, G-, B+) / (R, Y, C) - △± FDMesPhace (Rich Blend −−+)
(R+, G-, B-) / (M, Y, B) - △± BDMesPhace (Rich Blend +−−)
(AKA Mesons in SP)
Note: The labels BUMesPhace, FUMesPhace, FDMesPhace, & BDMesPhace are working spatial titles for for me & clarity during development. like Back Up & Front Up etc. They may be renamed as their deeper roles are revealed.
MesPhaces draw subtle analogues to the world of particle physics. While they are not quarks or hadrons in the conventional sense, their roles closely resemble mesons - mixed-charge particles that mediate forces between baryons like protons & neutrons. In PT, ProPhace & NegPhace represent analogues to protons & neutrons, while the six MesPhaces bridge the polarity field between them, as mesons do in hadronic models
Six of the eight Phaces are MesPhaces or mixed-polarity surfaces. They do not form tidy polar expressions like the Pro or Neg Phaces but instead blend directions in various proportions.
These divide into 2 structural roles:
DuskPhace △⭣ (LU) - the only Phace in the positive phyramid with two negative Phenom. It marks an inflection point where projection begins to reverse.
DawnPhace △⭡ (RD) - the only Phace in the negative phyramid with two positive Phenom. It initiates the return toward projection
These BlendPhaces bridge the poles & transitions.
The remaining four MesPhaces form two mirrored BlendPairs, each composed of:
Blend Pair 1in the top phyramid: BUMesPhace ⇄ FDMesPhace
R⁺, G⁺, B⁻ & R⁻, G⁻, B⁺
Blend Pair 2 in the bottom phyramid: FUMesPhace ⇄ BDMesPhace
R⁻, G⁺, B⁺ & R⁺, G⁻, B⁻
The Philter produces more structural combinations than are listed here. Its ternary states & rotational combinations give rise to what SP has catalogued as countless distinct particles & exotic hadrons. These are not core to explaining PT as simply as possible & have been moved to the Particle Zoo page, where structures like Phyramids & Phimonds & their possible analogues to pentaquarks & tetraquarks live.
