BLACK HOLES AS ONTOLOGICAL ARTEFACTS IN FREQUENCY MONISM A Philosophy-of-Physics Reinterpretation of Horizons, Singularities, and Compact Remnants

Within Frequency Monism (FM), a scalar frequency field ω(x, t) is treated as the ontological primitive through which physical description is organised. The argument developed here is that black holes, when defined strictly by true event horizons and central singularities, are not theory-neutral objects but curvature-first interpretations of compact-object phenomenology. The central claim is conceptual rather than numerical: once admissible frequency configurations are required to be regular, positive, and finite in field energy, the singular endpoint loses its status as an admissible ontological object. The role assigned in GR to the singular endpoint is thereby reassigned to a finite-density limiting object, the Dense Frequency Core (DFC). The remaining task for future physics is not to invent this reinterpretation, but to derive the precise mathematical bounds that realise it. The central contribution is to show how changing the primitive from curvature to frequency alters the metaphysical interpretation of collapse. Horizons become interpretive boundaries, singularities become symptoms of primitive-level failure, and empirical contact points in galactic dynamics, gravitational memory, and oscillator response function as risk markers for the broader programme.
