Phrames are the eight triangular faces of the Phenomenon (ΦΝ8), each formed by a unique trio of Phenom. They define the scalar-tensed surface structure of the octahedron and serve as functional boundaries where Tension Phibres (>–<) interlock. These Phibres form the Philter (ΦΝ⌗), a dynamic tension mesh that distributes scalar tension throughout the structure. Each Phrame is a face of this mesh — and a surface of the strong force.
These eight Phrames maintain scalar balance, polarity symmetry, and field continuity.
The Phenomenon contains two mirrored pyramids:
Top Pyramid (Up / White / Positive)
Bottom Pyramid (Down / Black / Negative)
Each pyramid holds four triangular Phrames:
One polar Phrame (Pro or Neg)
One PhlipPhrame (Dusk or Dawn)
Two BlendPhrames
[ΦΝ⁺] ProPhrame — B+, Y+, R+ (Pure Positive)
[ΦΝ↘] DuskPhrame (LU) — B−, Y+, R− (Flips: turning toward scalar tension)
BUMesPhrame — R+, Y+, B− (Vivid Blend ++−)
FUMesPhrame — R−, Y+, B+ (Vivid Blend −++)
These Phrames form the scalar-positive face of the Phenomenon. Tension builds and projects upward through their triangular fields.
[ΦΝ⁻] NegPhrame — B−, Y−, R− (Pure Negative)
[ΦΝ↗] DawnPhrame (RD) — B+, Y−, R+ (flips: returning toward scalar projection)
FDMesPhrame — R−, Y−, B+ (Rich Blend −−+)
BDMesPhrame — R+, Y−, B− (Rich Blend +−−)
These Phrames form the scalar-negative face of the Phenomenon. Tension concentrates and folds inward through their surfaces.
Note: The labels BUMesPhrame, FUMesPhrame, FDMesPhrame, and BDMesPhrame are working spatial titles for clarity during development. They may be renamed as their deeper roles are revealed.
MesPhrames draw subtle analogues to the world of particle physics. While they are not quarks or hadrons in the conventional sense, their scalar roles closely resemble mesons — mixed-charge particles that mediate forces between baryons like protons and neutrons. In Phen Theory, ProPhrame and NegPhrame represent scalar analogues to protonsand neutrons, while the six MesPhrames bridge the polarity field between them, as mesons do in hadronic models.
These are not metaphors — they are structural echoes. Phen Theory does not borrow from quantum physics but rather shows how these familiar forms are special cases within a deeper unified geometry.
Six of the eight Phrames are MesPhrames — mixed-polarity scalar surfaces. They do not form tidy polar expressions like the Pro or Neg Phrames but instead blend scalar directions in various proportions.
These divide into three structural roles:
DuskPhrame [ΦΝ↘] (LU) — the only Phrame in the positive pyramid with two negative Phenom. It marks a scalar inflection point where projection begins to reverse.
DawnPhrame [ΦΝ↗] (RD) — the only Phrame in the negative pyramid with two positive Phenom. It initiates the scalar return toward projection.
Together, these frame the scalar polarity loop — twilight and sunrise — on either side of inversion.
Speculative analogue: In particle physics, these transitional phrames bear a resemblance to W and Z bosons — mediators of the weak force that enable transformations like neutron-to-proton decay. Similarly, Dusk and DawnPhrames may act as scalar inversion facilitators rather than force carriers. Other possible parallels include magnetic equator inversion zones, quantum tunnelling thresholds, and spin-flip transition states. These comparisons are not meant as direct equivalence, but as suggestive echoes of how transition and inversion appear across physical systems.
The remaining four MesPhrames form two mirrored BlendPairs, each composed of:
1 Vivid Blend in the top pyramid (high contrast)
1 Rich Blend in the bottom pyramid (low contrast)
Blend Pair 1:
BUMesPhrame (R+, Y+, B−) ++− ⇄ FDMesPhrame (R−, Y−, B+) −−+
Blend Pair 2:
FUMesPhrame (R−, Y+, B+) −++ ⇄ BDMesPhrame (R+, Y−, B−) +−−
These BlendPhrames bridge the poles and transitions, forming the continuous scalar surface of the Phenomenon.
Phrames are not just structural — they are the active scalar surfaces of the Tension Phorce. They channel and anchor the Tension Phibres of the Philter (ΦΝ⌗), allowing scalar stress to stabilise between Phenom.
[ΦΝ⁺] and [ΦΝ⁻] serve as poles
[ΦΝ↘] and [ΦΝ↗] act as hinges
The BlendPhrames weave the rest of the scalar mesh
Together, they generate and maintain the Phenomenon’s scalar integrity.
This page is an evolving working document. As more properties of phrames are revealed through scalar modelling and field behaviour, new roles and interpretations may emerge.
