The right-hand rule and vorticity

In electromagnetism, a moving charge produces a magnetic field that circles at right angles to its motion. Students learn this as the right-hand rule. Standard physics states the rule but treats the field itself as fundamental.

RSI offers a mechanical origin. When a matter-knot such as an electron is pushed through the high-pressure Eternal Consonance, its internal toroidal spin churns the medium. This creates a chiral vortical displacement: a literal sideways vortex wake that swirls the medium's flow in a circle perpendicular to the direction of travel. The theory posits this churning as the source of the 90-degree geometry of electromagnetism.

In the covariant formulation, the electromagnetic field tensor, which standard physics uses to describe electric and magnetic fields together, is mapped directly onto the vorticity tensor of the fluid. Vorticity is the local measure of how much a fluid is spinning. In RSI, the electromagnetic field is the swirl of the medium.
