The Scientific Origins of the Responsio Universe
— From the Golden Age of Science Fiction to a Multispatial Topology

The scientific framework behind Responsio did not emerge from formal academic training but from a long intellectual journey that began in my younger years. During that time, the science fiction of the 1960s–1980s profoundly shaped how I thought about the universe. The great authors of that era—Asimov, Clarke, Lem, Bradbury, and many others—treated science fiction not as escapism but as a philosophical and scientific laboratory. Their stories were invitations to think differently about reality.
Although I am not a physicist, the fundamental questions those works raised stayed with me:
What is time? What is space? What makes matter “matter”?
How does the quantum world connect to the cosmic scale?
These questions eventually matured into the alternative cosmological model presented in the Responsio universe—a multispatial toroidal topology built on energy layers, emergent time, and a reinterpretation of classical and quantum structures. I do not work with advanced mathematical formalisms; instead, my approach relies on conceptual reasoning, synthesis, and the curiosity that those early readings instilled in me.
The study included as an appendix in the second book is the culmination of this long conceptual exploration. It is not a scientific proof, but a coherent theoretical framework: a speculative model that attempts to connect quantum nonlocality, topological geometry, and cosmological phenomena into a single structure. Whether future physics will ever consider such ideas is impossible to know—yet I believe that good science fiction must always reach toward the edges of what might become possible.
The Golden Age of science fiction taught me that a story can also be an idea. Responsio was written in this spirit: not only to entertain, but to explore how we understand reality—and how we might one day understand it differently.
