I. The Plurality of Scientific Verification: Beyond Narrow Positivism

1.1 Evolution in Philosophy of Science: From Logical Positivism to Explanatory Power Paradigms

The early 20th-century Logical Positivism emphasized “verifiability” as the criterion for demarcating science, a standard long since critiqued and transcended within philosophy of science. Karl Popper’s “falsifiability,” Thomas Kuhn’s “paradigm theory,” Imre Lakatos’s “research programmes,” and scientific realism’s emphasis on “explanatory power” and “predictive capacity” all demonstrate that the value of a scientific theory lies not solely in direct empirical verification but also in its conceptual coherence, breadth of explanation, ability to predict novel phenomena, and integration with existing scientific frameworks.

1.2 The Scientific Value of Indirect Verification and Mathematical Consistency

Many major scientific theories initially lacked direct experimental evidence but gained acceptance within the scientific community due to their mathematical self-consistency, their reinterpretation of known phenomena, and their compatibility with other theories. General Relativity was valued for its mathematical elegance and its explanation of Mercury’s perihelion advance even before the 1919 solar eclipse observations; Quantum Field Theory also relied on rigorous mathematical construction prior to experimental confirmation. Similarly, Topological Vortex Theory, grounded in mathematical tools like differential geometry and topology, derives scientific rigor from its inherent self-consistency.

II. Core Tenets and Mathematical Framework of Topological Vortex Theory

2.1 Theoretical Overview: From Topological Defects to Dynamical Stability

Topological Vortex Theory (TVT) posits that in physical systems with continuous symmetries (such as ideal or perfect fluids, inviscid fluids, super fluids, superconductors, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, etc.), topological defects can form stable vortex structures [4]. These structures are characterized by topological invariants (such as winding numbers, linking numbers) [1], and their stability stems from topological protection rather than dynamical details. The theory explains the persistent existence of vortices across various scales and physical contexts through topological conservation laws [2]. Fetter, Alexander L’s variational treatment of a system of many identical vortices in a container shows that the energy is lowest for a uniform distribution, and that the number of vortices per unit area ν agrees with Feyman’s result v=2mωh. In the classical limit (h–>0), the angular momentum and energy approach the values for solid-body rotation [5].

2.2 Mathematical Idealization: The Power of Scientific Abstraction

What critics label as “overly mathematical idealization” is, in fact, the modeling approach commonly employed in theoretical physics. Any scientific theory is a simplification and abstraction of reality; the key is whether the simplification captures essential features. By utilizing idealized mathematical tools like differentiable manifolds and homotopy groups, Topological Vortex Theory extracts the universal characteristics of vortex structures, which is precisely the source of its powerful explanatory capacity.
