The topological knot

In RSI, the Eternal Consonance is a frictionless, contiguous universal continuum. Pure energy travels through it as linear displacement waves, ripples of structural tension moving at the speed of light. Because these waves do not trap or enclose any volume of the fluid, they carry energy but no mass.

The theory holds that mass is born only through geometric turbulence. When turbulence in the EC forces a linear wave to cross its own path at a precise hydrodynamic phase angle, the wave loops into a persistent, self-sustaining vortex ring.

Mass is created at the moment of closure. It is not a new substance added to the vacuum. It is the physical measure of a localized, trapped volume of displacement. Linear energy has been folded into a persistent geometric structure, which RSI calls a matter-knot.
