What the Eternal Consonance is made of
RSI describes the Eternal Consonance as an irreducible elastic continuum defined by contiguity, 0.73 N tension, linear density, and a structural grain.
In RSI, the Eternal Consonance has no constituent parts. It is not a dust of particles or a gas of tiny spheres. It is a continuous, irreducible elastic continuum, the "ontological basement" of reality. There is no deeper level of smaller particles to find. Light, matter, gravity, and charge are all fluid-dynamic behaviors of this single substrate.
Because it cannot be broken into materials, the EC is defined by its mechanical properties. It has singular contiguity: no gaps or empty space, which makes it frictionless. It has an absolute line-tension, an uncreated stiffness of 0.73 N. It has a fundamental linear density (mass per unit length) of 8.12 × 10⁻¹⁸ kg/m, which dictates the speed of light. It also has a structural grain, a limit to how sharply it can bend, set by the Planck length.
So what is it made of? The paper answers that it is made of itself: the uncreated, unbroken physical tension of the universe.
