The Tri-Outcome Redshift Model
A Structural Alternative to Expansion-Based Cosmology

The Tri-Outcome Redshift Model is a cosmological upgrade proposed by Pattern Field Theory (PFT), replacing velocity-based interpretations of redshift with structurally coherent curvature dynamics of the pattern field.
The Three Redshift Mechanisms
- PPC – Pattern Phase Curvature: Redshift from field curvature.
z_PPC = Δλ / λ₀ = γκ(r) ≈ κ·r
- IPD – Inter-Pattern Drift: Redshift from phase desynchronization.
z_IPD = Δφ / φ₀
- Combined:
z_total = (1 + z_PPC)(1 + z_IPD) - 1
Redshift Comparison Table
Concept | Classical Formula | PFT Formula |
---|---|---|
Redshift definition | z = (λ_obs - λ₀)/λ₀ | Same — curvature-based cause |
Velocity redshift | z = v/c | Not used |
Relativistic redshift | z = √[(1+v/c)/(1−v/c)] − 1 | Not applicable |
PPC | N/A | z_PPC = κ·r |
IPD | N/A | z_IPD = Δφ/φ₀ |
Combined | N/A | z_total = (1 + z_PPC)(1 + z_IPD) − 1 |
Historical Attribution
Redshift has been misinterpreted for over a century due to reliance on velocity-based models. While Zwicky proposed an early alternative and Hubble observed the data without understanding the cause, Pattern Field Theory reframes these observations under structural curvature and pattern resonance — resolving redshift without invoking spatial expansion or dark energy.
- Aristotle (384–322 BCE): Proposed intrinsic purpose (telos) in matter — an early model of goal-directed motion.
- Christiaan Huygens (1629–1695): Advanced wave theory of light, suggesting propagation through a medium — a precursor to field logic.
- Isaac Newton (1642–1727): Defined universal gravitation in an absolute space and time framework.
- James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879): Unified electricity and magnetism; proved light is an electromagnetic field wave.
- Albert Einstein (1879–1955): Introduced relativistic spacetime curvature and gravitational redshift.
- Fritz Zwicky (1898–1974): Proposed “tired light” — redshift without expansion.
- Edwin Hubble (1889–1953): Observed redshift-distance relationship, but relied on Doppler assumptions.
- Halton Arp (1927–2013): Documented anomalous redshifts suggesting flaws in standard interpretations.
- Pattern Field Theory (James Johan Sebastian Allen, b. 1969): Replaces all velocity- and expansion-based interpretations with curvature dynamics and resonance desynchronization in a structured field.
PFT Redshift Equations:
zPPC = κ · r
zIPD = Δφ / φ₀
ztotal = (1 + zPPC)(1 + zIPD) − 1
This new model removes the requirement for expansion velocity, reframing redshift as a structural and temporal echo of pattern divergence.
Conclusion
This new model explains redshift without invoking cosmic velocity or dark energy — it is the whisper of structure expanding in recursive curvature.
