Abstract
Topological Vortex Theory (TVT) is an interdisciplinary theoretical framework systematically proposed and developed by scholar Bao-hua ZHANG. The theory is based on a redefinition of the nature of spacetime, taking microscopic topological vortices and their degrees of freedom (e.g., winding numbers) as fundamental units to construct a dynamic vortex network model, aiming to unify general relativity and quantum theory. In recent years, TVT has been further extended to the study of Earth's climate system, proposing that the superposition, entanglement, and locking behavior of cosmic-scale vortex networks are the deep physical mechanisms driving climate change. This paper systematically elaborates on the core theoretical architecture of TVT, focusing on its logical extension from the foundations of spacetime to climate applications, and reviews the latest progress of the theory in explaining the accelerated expansion of the universe, extreme weather processes, and long-term climate evolution.

1. Introduction
One of the core challenges in contemporary physics is how to unify the description of gravity and quantum phenomena within a self-consistent framework. Topological Vortex Theory (TVT) attempts to reconstruct the concept of spacetime from the perspective of topological manifolds and vortex dynamics, attributing macroscopic spacetime curvature to the collective behavior of microscopic topological vortex degrees of freedom. In his series of works, Zhang Bao-hua not only established the mathematical and physical foundations of TVT but also extended it to complex system fields such as climate science, forming a multi-level explanatory system of "microscopic topology—macroscopic spacetime—planetary climate." This paper aims to systematically outline the theoretical core of TVT, clarify its mechanisms for climate influence, and review its interdisciplinary value and future directions.
